Warn when deleting symlinks that point outside temp dir

[marcphilipp]

This is a follow-up on a discussion we had about #4301.

Deliverables

• Document that symlinks in temp dirs are deleted but not their targets (if they reside outside of the temp dir)
• Log a warning for every symlink that is deleted but points to a target outside the temp dir

I understand that version 5.12.0-RC2 is scheduled for release this Friday.
Since there are no contributors, it could delay your timeline, I’d like to help resolve this issue as quickly as possible if I can. 🚀

Additionally, could you provide any additional information that might help in addressing this issue?

Thanks for the offer! However, it's already done in my head (meaning that I "only need to write it down") and since, as you've pointed out, we don't want this to delay the release, I'll take a stab myself. I should probably have assigned myself right away.

Not at all!

I really appreciate how much you care about the community.
I have no doubt that your decision is the best choice for the JUnit 5 project.

I will focus on the work I'm currently working on.

I've learned a lot thanks to you.
Looking forward to your amazing work! 🚀
