empty temporary directory left over after compilation

[boutil]

Hi!

I noticed that everytime I run nanoc, I get an empty directory with a name prefixed with nanoc in /tmp/. This directory is created by the temporary file farm during compilation. Shouldn't this directory be removed once compilation is over (and successful)?

I use nanoc 3.6.11 on Debian. Let me know if you need more information.

No, you want to keep that directory around. That's where the info necessary for partial compiles is stored, and you definitely want those when you can get 'em :)

[bobthecow]

Wait. Are you asking about /path/to/project/tmp/ or /tmp/somethingnanoc/?

[boutil]

It is something like: /tmp/nanocyyyymmdd-nnnn-something

Hmm, /tmp is supposed to be deleted indeed. It is, as far as I can tell:

• https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc/blob/master/lib/nanoc/base/compilation/compiler.rb#L93-L96
• https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc/blob/master/lib/nanoc/base/temp_filename_factory.rb#L42-L49

Not sure what’s going on there.

[denisdefreyne]

Ohh, it’s the directory itself that still exists. Yup, that one’s not being deleted. Will fix.

Fixed by #444!
