gh-91133: tempfile.TemporaryDirectory: fix symlink bug in cleanup #99930

kwi-dk · 2022-12-01T16:07:07Z

This PR fixes issue gh-91133, in which TemporaryDirectory.cleanup could try to fix permissions when deleting a symlink, but accidentally fix permissions of the target of the symlink instead.

~~(It also changes the test_flags test case so it doesn't leave behind NOUNLINK files when the test fails, which is just annoying when working on any change to the TemporaryDirectory code.)~~

Compatibility: There could conceivably be code out there relying on TemporaryDirectory.cleanup modifying permissions on files outside the tempdir being cleaned up, which the fixed code will no longer do.

During development, it becomes tiresome to have to manually clean up these files in case of unrelated TemporaryDirectory breakage.

LGTM, but I prefer to test with real filesystem. Mock tests are too fragile, they depend on implementation details that can be changed.

@@ -874,15 +874,22 @@ def __init__(self, suffix=None, prefix=None, dir=None,

I suggest to rename the function to "no_follow_symlinks" or "dont_follow_symlinks".

I dislike this trend to declare nested functions. Can't you move these functions at the module level, just make them private? This function doesn't use name nor ignore_errors.
