Annotation Type TempFile

@Target(value=FIELD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface TempFile

Annotation for creating a temporary file.

A optional name can be specified for file. If no name is specified, a default name 'class-name'-'method-name'.tmp will be used.

The parent directory for this file can be specified by setting the DefaultTempServiceFactory.ROOT_TEMP_DIR property. If no root temp dir is specified the default user temp dir will be used.

Watch out: if the file already exists, it will first be deleted.

By default, the file will not be removed after the test. You can set the IOModule.CLEANUP_AFTER_TEST property to true if you want unitils to delete the files automatically after each test.
