Is there an API in the standard library (or in a package) to create a temporary directory and remove it after a code block is executed?
No “remove”, but for “create temporary directory”, see https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Filesystem.html#%28def._%28%28lib._racket%2Ffile..rkt%29._make-temporary-file%29%29
There’s a pending PR that makes the interface a bit nicer
What you pointed to is make-temporary-file, but I want to create a directory to create several files in it and want the directory to be removed automatically after the code block. :slightly_smiling_face:
Well, it can also create a directory!
The name is misleading
Hence the above PR which tries to make things less misleading
Ah, I see. Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:
Thanks @ryanc and @djholtby! Turns out all three methods (vector of hashes, hash of hashes, hash keyed by keys->nat) perform similarly well. Vector of hashes is possible because I know one key is going to be a natural number. I thought of doing hash of hashes, but I had an unfounded fear of an extra hash-ref.
Yes, having make-temporary-file create a directory when copy-from-file is 'directory is quite unexpected. I didn’t even see or remember that from when I read the documentation of make-temporary-file a week or two ago.

My Racket is suddenly connecting to Neil’s website, although my system OpenSSL still can’t; only recent versions can. I can’t get any version of OpenSSL to connect to <https://expired-r3-test.scotthelme.co.uk/> without error.
Is the package server still having problems connecting?
Judging from https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/csv-reading, I think it’s OK now.
But also, the package website is behaving weird lately. My package is built at pkg-build, but the doc is weirdly not shown in the package website. So I don’t know if there are any staling issues
Hm. Well how mysterious. I give up. OpenSSL is beyond me.
