"FileUtils#deleteDirectoryOnExit(File)" does not work
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: IO-276
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-276
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Commons IO 1.4
Reporter: Nobuhiko KAMIKAWA
Priority: Minor
I called this method, but the target directory was not deleted.
The source of this method is as follows.
----------
private static void deleteDirectoryOnExit(File directory) throws
IOException {
if (!directory.exists()) {
return;
}
cleanDirectoryOnExit(directory);
directory.deleteOnExit();
}
----------
In other words, this method calls "java.io.File#deleteOnExit" in order of
"grandchildren -> children -> parent" for files of the target directory
hierarchy.
There is following mention in javadoc of "java.io.File#deleteOnExit".
----------
Files (or directories) are deleted in the reverse order that they are
registered.
----------
Therefore, I think the calling order of "java.io.File#deleteOnExit" should be
reverse.
How will be it?
