Description

Closes the current open project.

Tip: Any user-defined Tcl variables that are in the global namespace (i.e. not in a project-specific namespace) are not reset or cleared by this command. Global variables are persistent with the invocation of Vivado and are only cleared when the Vivado Design Suite is closed. You can also use the unset command to expressly clear a specific Tcl variable.

Arguments

-delete - (Optional) Delete the project data from the hard disk after closing the project.
Note: Use this argument with caution. You will not be prompted to confirm the deletion of project data.
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

Examples

The following command closes the active project:
close_project
This example closes the current project. If you have multiple projects open, the close_project command applies to the current project which can be defined with the current_project command.
The following example sets project_1 as the current project, and then closes the project and deletes it from the computer hard disk:
current_project project_1  
close_project -delete
Note: Use the -delete argument with caution. You will not be prompted to confirm the deletion of project data.
