Temporary files are not purged

[Turgon37]

We are running bower behind a nexus registry

I notice that temporary files are not purged once the assets are downloaded

To reproduce with bower version 1.0.4

1. use a bowerrc like this

user@helper02 ~/web/tmp/test $ cat .bowerrc 
{
  "registry" : {
    "search" : [ "https://registry.example.com/repository/bower-proxy/" ]
  },
  "resolvers" : [ "bower-nexus3-resolver" ]
}

2. run bower install

bower install --force

3. notice that temporary files are not removed

user@helper02 ~/web/tmp/test # ls -l /tmp/tmp-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper  295882 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-251786HLa5n7RL5K
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper 2414926 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-25179YcOMMoIXwcY
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper 4176288 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-2517JQK1uwzbw5Hv
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper 2366973 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-2517KuIMgaEteczj
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper  189823 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-2517OE4dfVxsy8De
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper  428166 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-2517R2zA2GwZ72V1
-rw-r--r-- 1 helper helper  428166 juil. 23 14:40 /tmp/tmp-2517SvBwONOTaAW9

I've found an issue that can be related with tmp module bower/bower#345

How can we debug this ?

Does that not happen when you don't use NXRM?

[Turgon37]

no, without nxrm, the temporary folder path is /tmp/[linux username]/bower the the folder is empty at the end of the download process

Hello, do you have any news about this ?

[joedragons]

@Turgon37 I don't have any info, I can tell you that Sonatype mostly monitors issues.sonatype.com for issues not github. I've been advocating we just disable the issues and say that in various projects but not full luck so far. You might try filing there too.

Bower is deprecated now, I close this because I don't use bower anymore
