Does indexer:reindex need “var”, “generated” and “pub/static” to be writable?












2














I would like to know if, when doing "php bin/magento indexer:reindex" the folders "var", "generated" and "pub/static" have to be writable ?



Alternatively, does reindexing only work at database level?



All advice and opinions are welcome! Thanks!

          As per my knowledge, indexing is done only on database level.



          Magento Indexer tracks database changes for a certain entity and performs re-index if required.



          So, if we talk about: 



          var: it contains cache,log report etc 
          
generated: contains class files
          
pub/static : Static view files


          For testing purpose, I have set sudo chmod -R 444 . to var,generated and pub/static folder then ran indexer and it worked!
