NAME¶
Test::TempDir - Temporary files support for testing.
SYNOPSIS¶
use Test::TempDir;
my $test_tempdir = temp_root();
my ( $fh, $file ) = tempfile();
my $directory_scratch_obj = scratch();
DESCRIPTION¶
Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in mind.
The differences between using this and using File::Temp are:
- •
-
If "t/tmp" is available (writable, creatable, etc) it's preferred
over $ENV{TMPDIR} etc. Otherwise a temporary directory will be used.
This is "temp_root"
- •
- Lock files are used on "t/tmp", to prevent race conditions when
running under a parallel test harness.
- •
- The "temp_root" is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not if
tests failed.
- •
- "temp_root" is emptied at the beginning of a test run
unconditionally.
- •
- The default policy is not to clean the individual "tempfiles"
and "tempdirs" within "temp_root", in order to aid in
debugging of failed tests.
EXPORTS¶
- "temp_root"
- The root of the temporary stuff.
- "tempfile"
- "tempdir"
- Wrappers for the File::Temp functions of the same name.
The default options are changed to use "temp_root" for
"DIR" and disable "CLEANUP", but these are
overridable.
- "scratch"
- Loads Directory::Scratch and instantiates a new one, with the same default
options as "tempfile" and "tempdir".
