[Ari Perkkiö]

During test run Vitest needs to create coverage/.tmp where raw coverage results from tests are stored. After the coverage report has been generated it removes the .tmp directory.

I think we could check if coverage directory is completely empty after that, and then delete that one as well.

[Michal Srb]

That's a good solution. It might be even better to store the .tmp in node_modules so the coverage folder doesn't pop into and out of existence in people's editors.

[Ari Perkkiö]

I think we would like to keep these results close to coverage report directory so using node_modules by default might not work.

Though that's already possible from userland with npx vitest run --coverage --coverage.reporter=text --coverage.reportsDirectory=node_modules/.vitest-coverage for example.
