From dbaaef7dbfe3a932279c2d77f056a30575cc97cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Daniel=20P=2E=20Berrang=C3=A9?= Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:57:29 +0000 Subject: tests/functional: automatically clean up scratch files after tests MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The build/tests/functional subdirectories are consuming huge amounts of disk space. Split the location for scratch files into a 'scratch' sub-directory, separate from log files, and delete it upon completion of each test. The new env variable QEMU_TEST_KEEP_SCRATCH can be set to preserve this scratch dir for debugging access if required. Reviewed-by: Alex Bennée Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
