pytest 3.9.1 - tmpdir_factory not creating symlink to latest run #4179
Description
hi,
on previous pytest (3.8.2 and earlier) when using a tmpdir_factory fixture it was creating subsequent directories for each of runs in pytest-of-$USER and a symlink to most recent one like this:
foobar@foobar:~$ ll /tmp/pytest-of-foobar/
total 56
drwxr-xr-x 5 foobar foobar 4096 Oct 17 09:23 .
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 36864 Oct 17 09:23 ..
drwxr-xr-x 14 foobar foobar 4096 Oct 17 09:19 pytest-0
drwxr-xr-x 4 foobar foobar 4096 Oct 17 09:20 pytest-1
drwxr-xr-x 4 foobar foobar 4096 Oct 17 09:24 pytest-2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 foobar foobar 30 Oct 17 09:23 pytest-foobar -> /tmp/pytest-of-foobar/pytest-2
On latest pystest (3.9.1) the symlink is not getting created - which is a HUUUUUGE issue for me.
