#13489: openTempFile fails when the template parameter contain a path separator -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: harendra | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 8.0.1 libraries/base | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Poor/confusing Unknown/Multiple | error message Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- If the template string contains a path separator, for example "a/b" then openTempFile just fails with a message which does not even indicate what the problem might be. It displays the following message: {{{ mod: /tmp/: openTempFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) }}} It can either provide a better error message, saying that path separator is not allowed or if it is legal to allow a path separator then it should create that path in the temp dir. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13489 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
