NAME

6       Test::TempDir - (DEPRECATED) Temporary files support for testing
7

VERSION

9       version 0.10

DEPRECATION NOTICE

12       There have been numerous issues found with this module, particularly
13       with its use of locks (unreliable, may result in your entire $TMPDIR
14       being deleted) and MSWin32 compatibility. As well, it uses Moose, which
15       is nowadays considered to be heavier than necessary.
16
17       Test::TempDir::Tiny was written as a replacement. Please use it
18       instead!

SYNOPSIS

21           use Test::TempDir;
22
23           my $test_tempdir = temp_root();
24
25           my ( $fh, $file ) = tempfile();
26
27           my $directory_scratch_obj = scratch();

DESCRIPTION

30       Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in
31       mind.
32
33       The differences between using this and using File::Temp are:
34
35       ·
36
37
38           If "t/tmp" is available (writable, creatable, etc) it's preferred
39           over $ENV{TMPDIR} etc. Otherwise a temporary directory will be
40           used.
41
42           This is "temp_root"
43
44       ·   Lock files are used on "t/tmp", to prevent race conditions when
45           running under a parallel test harness.
46
47       ·   The "temp_root" is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not if
48           tests failed.
49
50       ·   "temp_root" is emptied at the beginning of a test run
51           unconditionally.
52
53       ·   The default policy is not to clean the individual "tempfiles" and
54           "tempdirs" within "temp_root", in order to aid in debugging of
55           failed tests.
56

EXPORTS

58   "temp_root"
59       The root of the temporary stuff.
60
61   "tempfile"
62   "tempdir"
63       Wrappers for the File::Temp functions of the same name.
64
65       The default options are changed to use "temp_root" for "DIR" and
66       disable "CLEANUP", but these are overridable.
67
68   "scratch"
69       Loads Directory::Scratch and instantiates a new one, with the same
70       default options as "tempfile" and "tempdir".
