Can't save file to temp folder.

[Zeka]

Hi.

I'm trying to save an xls file to temp folder

....
$writer = IOFactory::createWriter($spreadsheet, 'Xls');
$wireTempDir = wire('files')->tempDir('testname' . time());
$writer->save($wireTempDir->get() . "featuredemo.xls");

The issue is that $wireTempDir return the path to temp folder like 

D:/laragon/www/p/app/site/assets/cache/WireTempDir/.testname1531040249/0/

But it creates only .testname1531040249 folder without subfolder '0'.

Am I missing something?

The subfolder will be created, and you most likely are saving your file to the temp directory. You can check this with file_exists() after the file is saved in your script.

But I believe what is happening is that subfolder and temp file are removed by the destruct() method of WireTmpDir during PHP shutdown.
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php#language.oop5.decon.destructor

If you want the file to persist after the destruction of the WireTmpDir object then it looks like the WireTmpDir::setRemove() method is what you want.

$wireTempDir->setRemove(false);
