  org.iternine.jeppetto.testsupport.FileSystemFixtureSupport

public class FileSystemFixtureSupport
extends Object

This prvoides a convenient way to manage files for unit tests. It allows for creating a per-test directory structure that can be used for temporary data as well as load directory/file structures using zip archives. To use: Create a FileSystemFixtureSupport. You can either specify a root directory or a name prefix to use when creating the temporary directory. Your test can create new directories using createDirectory() or load pre-built zip archives of directory structures into the temporary directory. In your test's @Before method, you can cleanup the files/directories created during the test through the teardown() method. You can also delete the temporary directory by calling the destroy() method from an @AfterClass method. Once this is called, the fixture support cannot be used.
