Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2010-09-07 10:00:40 EDT 
As per bug 324559 comment 2, RSE Unittests seem to leave some non-deletable files and folders behind under $HOME/rseTest* for user "hudsonbuild" .

Unittests should be cleaned up to

   (1) create test data under /tmp instead where possible, such that others 
       can clean those up;
   (2) cleanup itself in Unittest tearDown() wherever possible.

Left-overs look like this, the newest one dated May-25:


dr--r--r-- 2 hudsonbuild callisto-dev       80 2010-05-25 16:38 rseTest1274882581144
moberhuber@build:/opt/users/hudsonbuild> ls -la rseTest1274882581144/
ls: cannot access rseTest1274882581144/noPerm.txt: Permission denied
total 0
?????????? ? ? ? ?                ? noPerm.txt


It's possible that this issue has actually been fixed already with bug 314526 .

I verified that TM 3.2 doesn't leave any left-overs in $HOME any more, so item (2) from comment 0 seems to be done.

Should still investigate moving temporaries below /tmp rather than $HOME, although that might be problematic when accessing remote systems. I'm decreasing priority for now though since the original issue is addressed, and adjusting the Summary.

Bug 222544 is still open for unittest left-overs.
