RFE add option to print absolute paths to found tests

[hegerj]

Currently when searching for tests fmf returns relative paths:

# fmf /root/tests/ --brief --key test --filter component:libselinux
tests/upstream-tests/selinux/libselinux/setenforce
tests/upstream-tests/selinux/libselinux/getsebool

What I would like to see would be absolute paths:

# fmf /root/tests/ --brief --key test --filter component:libselinux --absolute_path
/root/tests/upstream-tests/selinux/libselinux/setenforce
/root/tests/upstream-tests/selinux/libselinux/getsebool

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

[psss]

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?

[jscotka]

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

[psss]

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.
