envPaths('app').temp get its wrong, suggests nonexistent parent dir

[mikelpr]

it suggests /tmp/$USER/app-nodejs, but /tmp/${USER} doesn't exist on openSUSE nor Fedora and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR would be more appropriately the user specific temp dir and should be defined by now on pretty much all Linux distros

I don't think it exists on any Linux distribution. This package does not guarantee the directory exists. It standardises on good places to store stuff cross-platform. The username is included in the path for uniqueness.

Applications should use this directory for communication and synchronization purposes and should not place larger files in it, since it might reside in runtime memory and cannot necessarily be swapped out to disk.

This is problematic as you can put any sized files in a normal temporary directory.
