Sometimes, InputApi users need to create temporary files, write to them and
pass them to another process, like this:
with input_api.tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() as f:
f.write('foo')
input_api.subprocess.check_output(['/path/to/script',
'--reading-from', f.name])
While this works fine on Unix, on Windows subprocess cannot open and read
the file while we have it open for writing.
To work around this, we now offer a CreateTemporaryFile() that wraps a call
to tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False), and we then take care of
removing all files created this way at the end of a presubmit run.
The idea is for users to do something like this:
with input_api.CreateTemporaryFile() as f:
f.write('foo')
f.close()
input_api.subprocess.check_output(['/path/to/script',
'--reading-from', f.name])
with the temporary file being removed automatically in a transparent fashion
later.
