Reset your instance

This command clears out your instance so that you're ready for your next project. First, Dradis creates a backup project export file in case you ever need to restore this project, then it clears out all of the data from your instance, leaving you with a blank slate and a backup.

Note: make sure you're running these commands from your dradis-ce folder.

$ bundle exec thor dradis:reset

Expected output:

I, [2018-01-01]  INFO -- : Project package created at:
/dradis-ce/backup/dradis-export_2017-11-03_1.zip
** Deleting all attachments...          [  DONE  ]
** Cleaning database...                 [  DONE  ]
** Seeding database...                  [  DONE  ]
** Deleting all log files...            [  DONE  ]

To access the backup, just download it from the file path in the output. In this example, the backup is at /dradis-ce/backup/dradis-export_2017-11-03_1.zip.
