Print relative paths instead of absolute path #2295

Open nandanvasudevan opened 3 years ago

nandanvasudevan commented 3 years ago

Description The console output for catch2 is really messy with absolute paths. An option to get the path printed as relative path would be amazing!

Additional context Current output

/home/nandanv/code/sources/.../test/src/sensors/test_temperatureSensor.cpp:99

I suggest

test/src/sensors/test_temperatureSensor.cpp:99

The user may specify what portion of the path should be truncated if required. I think doxygen does something similar.

I agree with this. It makes the console output more readable.

I can give it a shot if someone would guide me on where or how to begin.
