Hmm, interesting, I was thinking that creating a file should be more of a rare pattern, and typically you would work with references. I was expecting this pattern to only be used in things like main.rs
. What is the functionality for which this is used?
A common use for
TempFile
is to get a unique path where a file can be created, modified and removed.The current approach to this:
This is awkward and introduces a race condition in that another call to
mkstemp
in another test after this test deletes the file could return the same path.it would be useful to offer a better mechanism to support this.
