I have a test which tries to start an embedded mysql.
It tries to write a socket file to Files.createTempFile(null, ".sock") which returns with the following error:
mysql start failed with error: [ERROR] The socket file path is too long (> 103): /private/var/tmp/_bazel_user/1c8ed8d84f6cb79483aa3cc4da758c86/bazel-sandbox/2478112867584790357/execroot/some_workspace/_tmp/dfebe48cda4dfdc8739653efedfa4933/394798020705754292.sock.
I worked around it by re-pointing java temp dir to /tmp using jvm_flags but this doesn't work when I try to use sandboxing since I guess the test isn't allowed to write there.
I've tried setting a symbolic link from the java code (like so Files.createSymbolicLink(Paths.get("/tmp/foo"),Paths.get(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"))) but this doesn't seem to help.
I've also tried setting the output_base but that didn't help either.
Would really appreciate pointers and tips since I currently can't run my tests under sandbox and so can't parallelize them.
