test names and suite files

[Herb Schilling]

Hi,

  Thanks to help from Steve Byan, I am off and running with suite 
files.  I still have one problem.

  Let's say I have the following suite files:

=============
~/test_suite.qms ( I know it's dumb to have a single suite in a suite 
but for the purposes of this e-mail.... )
=============

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE test PUBLIC "-//Software Carpentry//QMTest Test V0.1//EN" 
"http://www.software-carpentry.com/qm/xml/test.dtd">

<suite>
<suite_id>tests.test_suite</suite_id>
</suite>

=====================
~/tests.qms/test_suite.qms
=====================

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE test PUBLIC "-//Software Carpentry//QMTest Test V0.1//EN" 
"http://www.software-carpentry.com/qm/xml/test.dtd">

<suite>
<test_id>tests.test_memory</test_id>
<test_id>tests.test_objects</test_id>
</suite>


I can successfully run  tests from ~ using

	cd ~
	qmtest run test_suite

or
	cd ~
	qmtest run tests/test_suite

but when I go into the tests directory, I can't run the test suite 
because the suite file contains test id paths relative to ~. So this:

	cd ~/tests
	qmtest run test_suite

doesn't work.

I could remove the "tests." from  ~/tests/test_suite.qms so that I 
could run the suite from the ~/tests directory but then running the 
suites from ~ would be broken! Is there any hidden feature of QMtest 
around this?

Thanks!
