Overview

In TempDirectory's cleanup logic, while walking the temp directory, the file walker may fail to visit a file that has been removed by another thread or process. In this case, JUnit should ignore the NoSuchFileException, because there's nothing to clean up.

I have observed such failures when using JGit to manage repositories in temporary directories. JGit uses lock files that it cleans up in background threads. JGit and JUnit will race to delete the lock file, and the JUnit TempDirectory cleanup fails when JGit wins that race.

I considered what an automated test for this new behavior would look like. I could add a clear-box test that uses high-level concurrency objects to make sure that the test can delete a file between the time that the SimpleFileVisitor lists the temp directory and the time that the SimpleFileVisitor attempts to delete the file, but this would require adding new seams to TempDirectory that are inconsistent with the existing tests for that type. Would you accept this change without adding new test coverage?
