Tempfile is normaly used in combination with the with statement. I would like to use it without it in a unittest class. The tests create a number of files which do not interfer with each other. Thus, I planned to just create a temp dir in which I dump them all and remove the dir when the test class finished. However, I could not find how to remove the TemporaryDirectory in tearDownClass(cls)? Do I have to do anything at all. Is there a better approach?
import pathlib
import tempfile
import unittest
class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls) -> None:
cls.temp_dir = tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()
@classmethod
def tearDownClass(cls) -> None:
# How can I close the tempfile here?
# cls.temp_dir.close() <- does not exist
def test_save_file(self):
file_path = pathlib.Path(temp_dir.name) / "my_file.abc"
# Function which saves stuff into file
# more tests which store other files into the temp_dir
