[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55565] test: help.cc BIST test fails in test suite if test directory is not writeable

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #55565 (project octave):

No, tempdir and tempname already do the right thing. It's only when you
explicitly call out to P_tmpdir that it goes to the system temporary
directory.

The doc string for tempname looks wrong to me, but the behavior is correct.

Here's my environment


>> P_tmpdir
ans = /tmp
>> tempdir
ans = /run/user/1000/tmpdir/
>> tempname 
ans = /run/user/1000/tmpdir/oct-mxxvU3
