Access a file as a path, without a loader #22

I was looking at using DataToolkit to manage external data in package tests, and was wondering if it's possible to have it return a file path or something? I need the file path specifically to point my package to it.

The rest of the data management tools are pretty slick!

Absolutely! Give this pattern a shot: open(dataset("..."), DataToolkit.FilePath).path

FYI once a6bb5a9bcd7e91d2e97c167305c1d6c28efdcf1e makes it into the next release, you'll be able to open a DataSet to a FilePathsBase.AbstractPath :slightly_smiling_face:
