> CLI: Delete infoset file if there is an error
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-2387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2387
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI
> Reporter: Steve Lawrence
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> The CLI -o option specifies an output file that Daffodil should write the
> infoset to (or unparse data to). If there is an error during parse/unparse
> (e.g. non-backtrackable parse error, SDE) this file is not deleted which can
> cause confusion. Especially since in some cases the file could have a partial
> infoset/data.
> We might want to consider deleting the output file that we create if there is
> an error to prevent possible confusion. Note that we need to be careful about
> when we delete it. For example, say the file already existed when we ran
> Daffodil. In this case Daffodil will truncate the file to zero bytes and then
> write the output. But if there is an error, do we want to delete it if it
> already existed? Or maybe we just leave it truncated it to zero bytes (I.e.
> should we delete a file we didn't create?)
