Summary

Replace hardcoded /tmp paths in tests with bare mktemp -d for cross-platform portability.

Some test files used mktemp -d /tmp/ralph_test.XXXXXX which fails on systems where /tmp doesn't exist or is mounted differently (e.g., macOS uses /private/tmp). Using bare mktemp -d lets the OS choose the appropriate temporary directory.

Changes

  • tests/unit/test_exit_detection.bats — remove /tmp prefix from mktemp
  • tests/unit/test_rate_limiting.bats — remove /tmp prefix from mktemp
  • tests/unit/test_edge_cases.bats — remove /tmp prefix from mktemp

Test plan

  • All tests pass on Linux and macOS
  • Temporary directories are created in OS-appropriate location

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Updated test infrastructure temporary directory handling across multiple test files for improved consistency in the testing framework.

3 test files hardcoded /tmp/ralph-* paths in mktemp, causing
'Operation not permitted' in sandboxed environments. Bare mktemp -d
uses the system default temp directory, consistent with the other
15 test files.

Walkthrough

The pull request standardizes temporary directory creation across three test files by replacing explicit mktemp directory templates with generic mktemp -d invocations. Directory naming now defaults to the system's behavior rather than following predictable prefixed patterns, while all test functionality and logic remain unchanged.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Mktemp Template Standardization
tests/unit/test_circuit_breaker_recovery.bats, tests/unit/test_exit_detection.bats, tests/unit/test_rate_limiting.bats
Replaced explicit mktemp directory templates (e.g., /tmp/ralph-cb-recovery.XXXXXX, /tmp/ralph-test.XXXXXX) with generic mktemp -d invocations in test setup routines, standardizing temporary directory creation across test files.

Poem

🐰 A bunny hops through test directories,
Where temporary homes once had fancy names,
Now mktemp -d keeps it simple, no fuss,
Same logic blooms, just with generic paths!
