NAME

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

VERSION

       version 0.10

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!

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".
