Method Detail

getRoot

public File getRoot()

Returns the root folder. Exposing this offers some back compatability with JUnit4's TemporaryFolder so test cases which are used to invoking getRoot() on a JUnit4 rule can adopt the same approach with this TemporaryFolder. In addition, this may be useful where you want to use the root folder itself without creating files or directories within it.

Note: the extension is responsible for creating/managing/destroying the root folder so don't bother trying to clean it up yourself and don't expect that anything you do to it will survive post-test-cleanup.

Returns:

the root folder
