The lib/tests/tmpdir.hpp setup does not clean up old entires

[eivindjahren]

We have ran into a problem on our jenkins instances that tmp is filled up. The tmpdir setup should probably clean up older entries as to not contribute to the problem.

Do you mean remove all other folders under ".../ecl_test" that have a creation timestamp older than, say, 1 day?

[eivindjahren]

@mortalisk Should probably do the same thing that pytest does as to not create confusion:

Keep temporary files of runs under /tmp/ecl_test_of_${USER/}. Keep temporary files of at most three runs and name them
/tmp/ecl_test_of_${USER}/ecl_test_${i}/. If you have done 50 test runs as user jenkinsuser it should then have the following folders:

• /tmp/ecl_test_jenkinsuser/ecl_test_48/
• /tmp/ecl_test_jenkinsuser/ecl_test_49/
• /tmp/ecl_test_jenkinsuser/ecl_test_50/

This means tmpdir.hpp should figure out which is the largest and smallest ecl_test_${i}$ in /tmp/ecl_test_${USER} currently, delete the smallest one, create /tmp/ecl_test_jenkinsuser/ecl_test_$[i+1}/ and yield that to the test.

You could do it by created timestamp so you don't need to regex or otherwise interpret the numbers.
