             Summary: unit test rule method "withTempWorkingDir()" can cause code to malfunction
                 Key: GEODE-4244
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-4244
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: management
            Reporter: Bruce Schuchardt


We have a number of unit test Rules that offer a withTempWorkingDir() method that supposedly changes the current working directory of the JVM to a temporary folder.  This method merely sets the system property "user.dir" to that directory's path - it does not change the actual working directory of the process.

Because of this any file/io using paths relative to the current working directory may malfunction because they refer to the actual current working directory and not user.dir.

The withTempWorkingDir() methods need to have a warning about this.
