php - Wordpress and Wordpress-test-lib not getting added to tmp folder

I’ve installed the wpcli and php unit testing to my imac and the wordpress and wordpress-test-lib files were added to my tmp folder as they should have. I used this to install the setup.

bash bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root <mypassword> localhost latest

I wanted to reinstall everything to make sure I had the process down so I could show others. However, after deleting the files from the tmp folder and reinstalling using the terminal command bash bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root <mypassword> localhost latest wordpress and wordpress-test-lib folders are getting added to my /var/folders/xq/zdm3rwn.... folder, but the wp-latest.php file is installing in the tmp directory correctly.

How can I correct this problem with the other folders not being placed in the tmp directory or is there another work around I'm missing? Or is this not a problem and I just need to adjust another file to point to the right directory now.

Here is the return info from terminal after running the install...

enter code hereActually come to find out after further testing, these new set of folders, wordpress and wordpress-test-lib, that are now in the new directory /var/folders/xq/zdm3rwn.... do indeed still work properly for the unit testing.

Hope that helps someone else wondering about this same issue. In all the docs for these installs that I have seen they all mention the /tmp/ directory which seems to work the first time you install, but if you delete those file (which after more research I found I should not have done) then on my imac the installs went to this new tmp folder as I mentioned.
