default for TEXTTEST_CHECKOUT should be current working directory

[Emily Bache]

This is not so much a bug as a feature request. If you start TextTest without specifying a checkout, or if the checkout set in the config file is a "short name" that isn't defined anywhere, TextTest fails with an error message along the lines of:

Rejected Application myapp - could not create absolute checkout from relative path 'myapp'

In this case, I would like TextTest to use the current working directory. This would be helpful for people who keep their tests in the same checkout as the code it is testing. They wouldn't necessarily need to have a personal config file where "short name" is associated with an absolute path - they could just start texttest from within the checkout and have it run the tests from there.

Otherwise, I have to tell people to start texttest like this:

cd myapp
texttest.py -c $PWD

This works, but it would be more convenient to start it with no arguments.

Checked in a fix for this. Can make a pre-release on request if you're keen to try it out.
