I'm not sure if it's better to use test_when_finished with rm or just && rm -rf tmp at the end of the test in case someone wants to look at the output.test_when_finished is better here, since it means later tests can run and provide useful information about how bad a regression is. Cleanup commands requested using test_when_finished are not run when a test being run with --immediate fails, so you can still inspect output after a failed test.Hello Jonathan, Thanks for the explanation.
