Temp file location/filling up?

[sbehrens]

Hello,

I've noticed when running the 'analyze-local-images' tool a few times that I start running out of disk space (until I reboot the system, restarting the Docker machine or removing the images doesn't help). Where are the temp files located and are they being removed after the analyzer completes?

The temp files should be located in your /tmp folder. it was for mine. it should be a folder called analyze-lcoal-images or something like that. I had to remove it since it was filling my computer up

Thanks, I just confirmed it's not cleaning up temp files correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

Which version of the analyze-local-images tool are you using? This issue should have been fixed by 1040dbb. I will investigate that if you are running the latest version.

[sbehrens]

Fixed in the later build, thanks.

Awesome! I was actually looking at it and I just noticed that in some cases (i.e. SIGINT), it does not clean properly. Linking #158.

To answer the initial question, this contrib tool uses the TMPDIR environment variable (or /tmp if there's none) and then creates a folder named analyze-local-images-XXX where XXX is a random generated number.
