Codecrafters cli not creating files under /tmp directory

Platform Bug Reports

Hello!

I am attempting to run test case AP#6 under the http server project. I noticed that the stage “[tester::#AP6] Creating file mango_grape_pear_raspberry in /tmp/data/codecrafters.io/http-server-tester/” doesn’t actually do anything in my system. I even tried to run the codecrafters CLI as root to rule-out permission issues.

Worth mentioning that I created the folders under /tmp/data/… seen below. The executable is placed in the /tmp folder without any issues.

[null@null http-server-tester]$ ls
[null@null http-server-tester]$ pwd
/tmp/data/codecrafters.io/http-server-tester
[null@null http-server-tester]$

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Hi @tesaddict, this is expected behavior. The temporary files in the logs were created on our server.

Feel free to create temporary files manually for your local tests if needed.

Thank you for the quick reply @andy1li . I didn’t realize these test cases run on the codecrafters server. After closer inspection; I found a bug in my implementation and corrected it. The test case is now passing.
