Remove deleted classes after import

What about the data (globals) left related to deleted classes? SHould it be deleted as well?

very creative!!

Isn't it more safe to have a clear namesepace/database for the code base with every CI/CD phase? 

 Hello,

I have an other way to do it, it's a (little) bigger.
It doesn't need to indicate the package at the beginning.

The little addition is that this method can return all the classes that are differents without delete them.
 

/// Take as parameters 
/// ClassList whitch is the list return by ImportDir
/// pDeleteIfExist : boolean to know if we have to delete classes
/// listClassDiffer : lists of differents classes between the directory from ImportDir and InterSystems
/// Return listClassDiffer; if error, return an exception
ClassMethod SynchroClass(ByRef classList As %String, pDeleteIfExist As %Boolean = 0, Output listClassDiffer As %ListOfDataTypes) As %Status
{
	Set status = $$$OK
	#dim exception As %Exception.AbstractException
	Set tKey = ""
	Set listclass = ##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New()
	Set listClassDiffer = ##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New()

	Try{
		// insert the differentes classes from classList in a new list with a "while"
		Do{
			Set tKey=$ORDER(classList(tKey))
			//Write " tkey " ,tKey,!
			Do listclass.Insert(tKey)
		}While(tKey'="")

		Set SQLquery = "SELECT Name "
		Set SQLquery = SQLquery _ " FROM %Library.RoutineMgr_StudioOpenDialog('*.cls',1,1,0,1,0,0,,,0) "		
		Set stmt = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
		Set status = stmt.%Prepare(SQLquery)		
		Set rset = stmt.%Execute()
		#dim rset as %SQL.StatementResult 
		
		/* get the table of result of the SQL request as classes of server and compare them to the classes from listclass
		if classes are different, we add them to the zreturn's parameter and we delete them */
		While rset.%Next(){
			Set name = rset.%Get("Name")
	
			//Write " name class and index ", name,idx, !
			If (listclass.Find(name) = ""){
				Write !,name
				Set status = listClassDiffer.Insert(name)
				$$$ThrowOnError(status)

				If (pDeleteIfExist){
					Set status = $SYSTEM.OBJ.Delete(name,"e")
					$$$ThrowOnError(status)
				}				
			}		
		}
	}Catch exception {
		Set status = exception.AsStatus()
	}
	Quit status
}
