Status: closed
Component: core libraries
Estimated difficulty: easy
Resolution: fixed
Priority: minor
Milestone: someday
Version: 5.3.0
Changetime: 2024-01-04 19:17:34 UTC
Created: 2024-01-02 20:22:40 UTC
Keywords: create-temporary-file, create-temporary-directory, environment variables, TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP

Once create-temporary-file or create-temporary-directory is called, the value that represents the directory where temporary files/directories are created gets cached and modifications to the supported environment variables no longer have the expected effect. Example:

 #;1> (create-temporary-file)
 "/tmp/tempcd92.182728.tmp"
 #;2> (set-environment-variable! "TMPDIR" "/home/mario")
 #;3> (create-temporary-file)
 "/tmp/tempc6c.182728.tmp"

In this example, the second call to (create-temporary-file) (#;3) should have created a temporary file in /home/mario, not /tmp.
