How to set temp_path?

[ranebrown]

What is the correct way to set temp_path when using to_temp_file? Ideally it would be a fixed path with a unique filename matching the current buffer name. Wasn't really clear from the docs.

Setting to_temp_file = true will also assign the path to the temp file to params.temp_path

temp_path isn't something you'd set yourself – rather, what the documentation is trying to say is that sources created using generator_factory can access the path to the temporary file at params.temp_path if needed.

Setting to_temp_file = true automatically generates a temp file using this code every time the source runs (and immediately deletes it to prevent issues with stale files).

I see. The reason I was wanting to set it was because the linter is running in a docker container and the file needed to be in a mounted volume. I think I got it working via stdin though. Thanks for the response.
