pivnet-cli relies on TMPDIR environment variable?

[menicosia]

This isn't serious, but I noticed that when calling pivnet from a script:

• if I set TMPDIR to /var/tmp/t/ (a directory which doesn't exist), the pivnet CLI freaks out

+ TMPDIR=/var/tmp/t
+ pivnet login --api-token=[redacted]
Get https://network.pivotal.io/api/v2/authentication: x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided; mkdir /var/tmp/t/x509trustpolicy251829511: no such file or directory

I can fix this either by not using the TMPDIR variable, or creating the directory before calling pivnet login, so this isn't an urgent issue for me, more of an FYI for you.

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this:

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

thanks for letting us know :) I suppose the only work around I can think of is to create the the tempDir automatically, but that might have the unintended consequence of using a folder that the user did not intend to be used. I will close this issue for now, but if you disagree or can think of another pressing scenario that may increase the severity of this issue, please let us know.
