Detailed Description

Create a temporary directory in the OS temp location. Upon construction, the current working directory will be set to this new temporary directory. Upon destruction, the current working directory will be restored to the location when the TempDirectory object was constructed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TempDirectory()

TempDirectory	(	const std::string &	_prefix = "temp_dir",
		const std::string &	_subDir = "ignition",
		bool	_cleanup = true
	)

Create a directory in the tempDirectoryPath by expanding a name template. This directory can also be automatically cleaned up when the object goes out of scope.

The TempDirectory will have the form $TMPDIR/_subdir/_prefixXXXXX/

Parameters

[in]	_prefix	String to be expanded for the template
[in]	_subDir	Subdirectory in OS $TMPDIR, if desired
[in]	_cleanup	True to indicate that the filesystem should be cleaned as part of the destructor

~TempDirectory()

~TempDirectory

(

)

Destroy the temporary directory, removing from filesystem if cleanup is true.

Member Function Documentation

DoCleanup() [1/2]

void DoCleanup

(

bool

_doCleanup

)

Set if the folder on disk should be cleaned.

This is useful if you wish to clean by default during a test, but retain the contents of the TempDirectory if the test fails.

Parameters

[in]

_doCleanup

True to indicate that the filesystem should be cleaned as part of the destructor

DoCleanup() [2/2]

bool DoCleanup

(

)

const

Retrieve the current cleanup flag state.

Returns

true if filesystem cleanup will occur

Path()

std::string Path

(

)

const

Retrieve the fully-expanded temporary directory path.

Returns

the temporary directory path

Valid()

bool Valid

(

)

const

Indicate if the TempDirectory object is in a valid state and that the folder exists on the filesystem.

Returns

true if the TempDirectory is valid
