Overwrite orphans too

[nedtwigg]

I've got this in my build.gradle, works great...

test {
	if (System.env['CI'] == null) {
		systemProperty "updateSnapshot", ""
	}
}

.. except when I remove or rename tests, because I get orphan snapshot errors. Then I've got to manually mess around with .snap and .snap.debug files again.

Is there an updateSnapshot mode which also automatically removes orphans?

I had an issue sitting around for a very long time concerning this exact issue
#45

I recall there being some difficulties though. When the application runs it has no context from where the source files are actually located. I think maybe a separate tool would be needed to cleanup the orphan snapshot files.

Oh, I think wha you are having trouble with is different from my above comment. I would think that this should be possible. In fact I thought that that was already happening.

If you'd like an example, here's a commit where ./gradlew test will fail with ERROR: Found orphan snapshots (even on a dev machine where updateSnapshot is set)

And in the very next commit, ci will pass after removing the orphans
