mureinik commented on issue #97: IO-628: Migration to JUnit Jupiter URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-io/pull/97#issuecomment-537345970 > Hi @mureinik, > > Thank you for your update. > It seems like in `TailerTest` there should be a cleaner way to tear down tests than by calling `Thead.interrupt()`. Can `org.apache.commons.io.input.Tailer.stop()` be used with or without changes to `Tailer` to clean up tests in a nicer manner? > > Gary @garydgregory The original JUnit 4 test tried doing that in the `tearDown()` method, which is wrong (since it's called after the temp dir deletion is attempted). Note this isn't new to JUnit Jupiter - it was too late in JUnit 4 too, but it was pretty harmless there (the deletion failed, and just silently left junk on the filesystem, whereas in Jupiter it fails the test). By using a shared temp directory, we can delay the deletion till after the end of the entire class, and won't have to try something dirty like explicitly interrupting the thread, which would be arguably cleaner. I've updated the PR with this approach..
