61 /*! \libinternal \brief
62 * Helper for tests that need input and output files.
64 * To be used as a member in a test fixture class, this class provides
65 * getTemporaryFilePath() method that returns a path for creating file names
66 * for temporary files. The returned path contains the name of the running
67 * test, making it unique across tests. Additionally, this class takes care of
68 * removing any temporary files (i.e., all paths returned by
69 * getTemporaryFilePath()) at test teardown (i.e., when the
70 * TestFileManager is destructed).
72 * In addition, class-level static accessors provide means to
73 * access data files that are located in the test source directory.
74 * This is used to provide input files for the tests, and also to
75 * store test reference data persistently (see TestReferenceData).
77 * Note that setInputDataDirectory(), setTestSimulationDataBaseDirectory() and
78 * setGlobalOutputTempDirectory() must be called in setup code, before
79 * creating any objects of this class that are used for accessing the
80 * paths for these respective directories. Code in tests should avoid
81 * calling setGlobalOutputTempDirectory(), and instead instantiate an
82 * object and use setOutputTempDirectory(), so that the global state
83 * is not changed.
