Subject: 30.0.93: make-nearby-temp-file works like make-temp-file on my system
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2025 07:25:37 +0000

Hi,

I am using
GNU Emacs 30.0.93 (build 8, x86_64-apple-darwin20.6.0, NS appkit-2202.70 
Version 11.7.1 (Build 20G918)) of 2025-01-23
and I get

(make-nearby-temp-file "gofmt" nil ".go")
"/var/folders/5v/lnm0b8z940327w8v82hxsn6c0000gn/T/gofmt9rXqIN.go"

where I expect a file in my default directory.
Here, make-nearby-temp-file works  almost like make-temp-file.
(discovered when "stealing" the gofmt function from 
https://github.com/dominikh/go-mode.el)

Is this also a bug on other systems than mine?

Best regards -- Gerard

This is not a bug: for files on local (i.e. not remote) filesystems,
make-nearby-temp-file is the same as make-temp-file.  This is
described in its doc string.

If you want to create a local temporary file in default-directory,
call make-temp-file with its first argument PREFIX an absolute file
name in default-directory:

  (make-temp-file (expand-file-name default-directory) ... )
