=head1 NAME
Directory::Scratch - Easy-to-use self-cleaning scratch space.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
When writing test suites for modules that operate on files, it's often
inconvenient to correctly create a platform-independent temporary
storage space, manipulate files inside it, then clean it up when the
test exits. The inconvenience usually results in tests that don't work
everwhere, or worse, no tests at all.
This module aims to eliminate that problem by making it easy to do
things right.
Example:
use Directory::Scratch;
my $temp = Directory::Scratch->new();
my $dir = $temp->mkdir('foo/bar');
my @lines= qw(This is a file with lots of lines);
my $file = $temp->touch('foo/bar/baz', @lines);
my $fh = openfile($file);
print {$fh} "Here is another line.\n";
close $fh;
$temp->delete('foo/bar/baz');
undef $temp; # everything else is removed
# Directory::Scratch objects stringify to base
$temp->touch('foo');
ok(-e "$temp/foo"); # /tmp/xYz837/foo should exist
=head1 EXPORT
The first argument to the module is optional, but if specified, it's
interperted as the name of the OS whose file naming semantics you want
to use with Directory::Scratch. For example, if you choose "Unix",
then you can provide paths to Directory::Scratch in UNIX-form
('foo/bar/baz') on any platform. Unix is the default if you don't
choose anything explicitly.
If you want to use the local platform's flavor (not recommended),
specify an empty import list:
use Directory::Scratch ''; # use local path flavor
Recognized platforms (from L<File::Spec|File::Spec>):
=over 4
=item Mac
=item UNIX
=item Win32
=item VMS
=item OS2
=back
The names are case sensitive, since they simply specify which
C<File::Spec::> module to use when splitting the path.
=head2 EXAMPLE
use Directory::Scratch 'Win32';
my $tmp = Directory::Scratch->new();
$tmp->touch("foo\\bar\\baz"); # and so on
=head1 METHODS
The file arguments to these methods are always relative to the
temporary directory. If you specify C<touch('/etc/passwd')>, then a
file called C</tmp/whatever/etc/passwd> will be created instead.
This means that the program's PWD is ignored (for these methods), and
that a leading C</> on the filename is meaningless (and will cause
portability problems).
Finally, whenever a filename or path is returned, it is a
L<Path::Class|Path::Class> object rather than a string containing the
filename. Usually, this object will act just like the string, but to
be extra-safe, call C<< $path->stringify >> to ensure that you're
really getting a string. (Some clever modules try to determine
whether a variable is a filename or a filehandle; these modules
usually guess wrong when confronted with a C<Path::Class> object.)
=head2 new
Creates a new temporary directory (via File::Temp and its defaults).
When the object returned by this method goes out of scope, the
directory and its contents are removed.
my $temp = Directory::Scratch->new;
my $another = $temp->new(); # will be under $temp
# some File::Temp arguments get passed through (may be less portable)
my $temp = Directory::Scratch->new(
DIR => '/var/tmp', # be specific about where your files go
CLEANUP => 0, # turn off automatic cleanup
TEMPLATE => 'ScratchDirXXXX', # specify a template for the dirname
);
If C<DIR>, C<CLEANUP>, or C<TEMPLATE> are omitted, reasonable defaults
are selected. C<CLEANUP> is on by default, and C<DIR> is set to C<File::Spec->tmpdir>;
=head2 child
Creates a new C<Directory::Scratch> directory inside the current
C<base>, copying TEMPLATE and CLEANUP options from the current
instance. Returns a C<Directory::Scratch> object.
=head2 base
Returns the full path of the temporary directory, as a Path::Class
object.
=head2 platform([$platform])
Returns the name of the platform that the filenames are being
interperted as (i.e., "Win32" means that this module expects paths
like C<\foo\bar>, whereas "UNIX" means it expects C</foo/bar>).
If $platform is sepcified, the platform is changed to the passed
value. (Overrides the platform specified at module C<use> time, for
I<this instance> only, not every C<Directory::Scratch> object.)
=head2 touch($filename, [@lines])
Creates a file named C<$filename>, optionally containing the elements
of C<@lines> separated by the output record separator C<$\>.
The Path::Class object representing the new file is returned if the
operation is successful, an exception is thrown otherwise.
=head2 create_tree(%tree)
Creates a file for every key/value pair if the hash, using the key as
the filename and the value as the contents. If the value is an
arrayref, the array is used as the optional @lines argument to
C<touch>. If the value is a reference to C<undef>, then a directory
is created instead of a file.
Example:
%tree = ( 'foo' => 'this is foo',
'bar/baz' => 'this is baz inside bar',
'lines' => [qw|this file contains 5 lines|],
'dir' => \undef,
);
$tmp->create_tree(%tree);
In this case, two directories are created, C<dir> and C<bar>; and
three files are created, C<foo>, C<baz> (inside C<bar>), and
C<lines>. C<foo> and C<baz> contain a single line, while C<lines>
contains 5 lines.
=head2 openfile($filename)
Opens $filename for writing and reading (C<< +> >>), and returns the
filehandle. If $filename already exists, it will be truncated. It's
up to you to take care of flushing/closing.
In list context, returns both the filehandle and the filename C<($fh,
$path)>.
=head2 mkdir($directory)
Creates a directory (and its parents, if necessary) inside the
temporary directory and returns its name. Any leading C</> on the
directory name is ignored; all directories are created inside the
C<base>.
The full path of this directory is returned if the operation is
successful, otherwise an exception is thrown.
=head2 tempfile([$path])
Returns an empty filehandle + filename in $path. If $path is omitted,
the base directory is assumed.
See L<File::Temp::tempfile|File::Temp/FUNCTIONS/tempfile>.
my($fh,$name) = $scratch->tempfile;
=head2 exists($file)
Returns the file's real (system) path if $file exists, undefined
otherwise.
Example:
my $path = $tmp->exists($file);
if(defined $path){
say "Looks like you have a file at $path!";
open(my $fh, '>>', $path) or die $!;
print {$fh} "add another line\n";
close $fh or die $!;
}
else {
say "No file called $file."
}
=head2 stat($file)
Stats C<$file>. In list context, returns the list returned by the
C<stat> builtin. In scalar context, returns a C<File::stat> object.
=head2 read($file)
Returns the contents of $file. In array context, returns a list of
chompped lines. In scalar context, returns the raw octets of the
file (with any trailing newline removed).
If you wrote the file with C<$,> set, you'll want to set C<$/> to
C<$,> when reading the file back in:
local $, = '!';
$tmp->touch('foo', qw{foo bar baz}); # writes "foo!bar!baz!" to disk
scalar $tmp->read('foo') # returns "foo!bar!baz!"
$tmp->read('foo') # returns ("foo!bar!baz!")
local $/ = '!';
$tmp->read('foo') # returns ("foo", "bar", "baz")
=head2 write($file, @lines)
Replaces the contents of file with @lines. Each line will be ended
with a C<\n>, or C<$,> if it is defined. The file will be created if
necessary.
=head2 append($file, @lines)
Appends @lines to $file, as per C<write>.
=head2 randfile()
Generates a file with random string data in it. If String::Random is
available, it will be used to generate the file's data. Takes 0,
1, or 2 arguments - default size, max size, or size range.
A max size of 0 will cause an exception to be thrown.
Examples:
my $file = $temp->randfile(); # size is between 1024 and 131072
my $file = $temp->randfile( 4192 ); # size is below 4129
my $file = $temp->randfile( 1000000, 4000000 );
=head2 link($from, $to)
Symlinks a file in the temporary directory to another file in the
temporary directory.
Note: symlinks are not supported on Win32. Portable code must not use
this method. (The method will C<croak> if it won't work.)
=head2 ls([$path])
Returns a list (in no particular order) of all files below C<$path>.
If C<$path> is omitted, the root is assumed. Note that directories
are not returned.
If C<$path> does not exist, an exception is thrown.
=head2 delete($path)
Deletes the named file or directory at $path.
If the path is removed successfully, the method returns true.
Otherwise, an exception is thrown.
(Note: delete means C<unlink> for a file and C<rmdir> for a directory.
C<delete>-ing an unempty directory is an error.)
=head2 chmod($octal_permissions, @files)
Sets the permissions C<$octal_permissions> on C<@files>, returning the
number of files successfully changed. Note that C<'0644'> is
C<--w----r-T>, not C<-rw-r--r-->. You need to pass in C<oct('0644')>
or a literal C<0644> for this method to DWIM. The method is just a
passthru to perl's built-in C<chmod> function, so see C<perldoc -f
chmod> for full details.
=head2 cleanup
Forces an immediate cleanup of the current object's directory. See
File::Path's rmtree(). It is not safe to use the object after this
method is called.
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
If the C<PERL_DIRECTORYSCRATCH_CLEANUP> variable is set to 0, automatic
cleanup will be suppressed.
