RFE add option to print absolute paths to found tests about fmf HOT 5 CLOSED

this has to be solved very carefully. as discussed with @psss , this is very connected with virtual testcases, what has another location of self itself and what test: key means,
for this purpose this is connected with beaker, that there is directory and you don't care that in test: key there is for examle ./runtest.sh or make run what will do the same.
but in case there should be something usefull than just non-emty string, close to true value

partially solved by: #16

from fmf.

Yes, we need to make very clear how the path will be detected and how tests will be executed. There's is an initial draft of the proposed attributes on the Fedora wiki:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CI/Metadata

Anyway, I think the new --format feature should probably cover this use case. See examples:

http://fmf.readthedocs.io/en/devel/examples.html#format

What do you think, Jakub?

from fmf.

the best solution could be: add this new prefix, what leads to ivoked test (dirname + basename) #19 with this format feature

from fmf.

Using the new --format option together with the Tree.root attribute this can be done:

> fmf examples/wget/ --key test --format '{}/{}/{}\n' \
  --value 'root' --value 'data.get("path") or name' --value 'data["test"]'

Path can be used to specify directory if it differs from the object name:

description: Check recursive download options
tags: [Tier2]
test: runtest.sh
path: wget/recursion

The results looks like this:

/home/psss/git/fmf/examples/wget/download/test/runtest.sh
/home/psss/git/fmf/examples/wget/recursion/runtest.sh
/home/psss/git/fmf/examples/wget/recursion/runtest.sh
/home/psss/git/fmf/examples/wget/protocols/ftp/runtest.sh
/home/psss/git/fmf/examples/wget/protocols/http/runtest.sh
/home/psss/git/fmf/examples/wget/protocols/https/runtest.sh

Closing as this general solution should cover the requested use case.
