Deprecation notice

There have been numerous issues found with this module, particularly with its use of locks (unreliable, may result in your entire $TMPDIR being deleted) and MSWin32 compatibility. As well, it uses Moose, which is nowadays considered to be heavier than necessary.

Test::TempDir::Tiny was written as a replacement. Please use it instead!

Overview

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.
