TempDirFactory.Standard

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface

public interface TempDirFactory
extends Closeable

TempDirFactory defines the SPI for creating temporary directories programmatically.

A temporary directory factory is typically used to gain control over the temporary directory creation, like defining the parent directory or the file system that should be used.

Implementations must provide a no-args constructor and should not make any assumptions regarding when and how many times they are instantiated, but they can assume that createTempDirectory(AnnotatedElementContext, ExtensionContext) and close() will both be called once per instance, in this order, and from the same thread.

A TempDirFactory can be configured globally for the entire test suite via the "junit.jupiter.tempdir.factory.default" configuration parameter (see the User Guide for details) or locally for a test class field or method parameter via the @TempDir annotation.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	close()
Path	createTempDirectory(AnnotatedElementContext elementContext, ExtensionContext extensionContext)	Create a new temporary directory.

Method Details

createTempDirectory

Path createTempDirectory(AnnotatedElementContext elementContext,
 ExtensionContext extensionContext)
                  throws Exception

Create a new temporary directory.

Depending on the implementation, the resulting Path may or may not be associated with the default FileSystem.

Parameters:

elementContext - the context of the field or parameter where @TempDir is declared; never null

extensionContext - the current extension context; never null

Returns:

the path to the newly created temporary directory; never null

Throws:

Exception - in case of failures

close

default void close()
            throws IOException

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Throws:

IOException
