Description

Right now, autochecker doesn't clean up after itself when it finishes running all the tests.

  • os.tmpdir() contains one copy per nodejs version and commit version of the project.
  • Docker containers are also not cleaned up.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate where temporary files are created in os.tmpdir() and how Docker containers are spawned. Identify the locations that need cleanup and propose a method to clean up after all tests complete.
