Several temporary files created

[FrozenKoi]

I'm using Android Studio 1.0.2 and CheckStyle plugin version 4.11.2 using a rule xml file stored in an intranet server.

I'm noticing that there are a lot of files in Android Studio's temp directory. In my PC in the following directory:
c:\Users.AndroidStudio\system\tmp

I have 1000 files created in the span of 2 hours, called checkStyle.xml that all contain the rules file. Is there a way to prevent this large amount of files?

Are they created each time the server is queried for the rules? Is there a way to limit how often the server is checked for the rules file?

I presume you're accessing the file over HTTP?

I'm not quite sure what's happening at present. What should happen is that the real file is queried at most once a minute, and locally cached for that minute. The reason we get new files is that every time we query the server we're using File.createTempFile to write the contents. Although I wouldn't have expected 1000. To be perfectly honest, the HTTP access is a bit ratty - it was a feature request for someone, and it's not something I've ever used (and hence has been neglected).

I'll have a look at changing it to use a consistent temporary file, so you don't get spammed with them.

That fix will be released in 4.14.1, which should be next week. Thanks for the report.

Yes, the rule file is accessed via HTTP.

btw, on my original message the file name for the temp files should be checkStyle<numbers>.xml, the part between angle brackets was lost because I used it as html, my bad.
