Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2349:
-------------------------------------

bq. We won't create this "temp tempDir" up-front right?

we do a mkdir just in ant for this parent dir: e.g. instead of build/test its 
build/test/A or build/test/K
works like a charm, no test-fixing :)


> Tests should use unique temporary directories

> We cannot safely use parallel tests (LUCENE-1709) because some test classes 
> try to use temporary directories with the same name.
> So if these two happen to run at the same time, they conflict.
> For example TestIndexReader has code like this:
> {code}
> File dirFile = new File(TEMP_DIR, "testIndex");
> {code}
> But TestCompoundFile has similar code:
> {code}
> File file = new File(TEMP_DIR, "testIndex");
> {code}
> If both these classes run at the same time, there will be problems.
> If we want to use parallel tests safely, we have to fix this use of the 
> static TEMP_DIR which does not include any unique name of the test.
> Ideally we can do this without changing a lot of test code, especially 
> backwards.
