Conversation
…n Windows The default Windows temp dir sits on a network-backed disk that is 4-6x slower at small-file writes than the local SSD behind RUNNER_TEMP. pytest's tmp_path and uv's scratch files honor TEMP, so point it there for the rest of the job. Measured on apify/actor-templates#907. No-op on Linux and macOS.

On Windows runners,
python_unit_testsnow setsTMPandTEMPtoRUNNER_TEMPfor the rest of the job. The default temp dir is on a network-backed disk that is 4-6x slower at small-file writes than the runner's local SSD. pytest'stmp_pathand uv's scratch files both honorTEMP, so they land on the fast disk. Measured in apify/actor-templates#907. Nothing changes on Linux or macOS.This workflow runs the Windows legs of crawlee-python, apify-sdk-python, apify-client-python and apify-shared-python. apify/actions#41 is the same change for the pnpm side.
