When running tests, the temp function would be used in a subshell in a similar vein to $(mktemp) to create a temporary file/folder. In order to track these files an array was used, however due to the use of a subshell this variable would not be propagated to the parent process. Instead, this commit uses a temporary file to store the paths of the newly created files/folders so that they can be later deleted by the parent process.
