Allow for "leading" part specification of task id

[yarikoptic]

Similar to how git, docker (and reproman) matches IDs, it would be great if you could allow for partial match whenever it is not ambiguous:

$> qme get shell-8a
Database: filesystem
ERROR shell-8a does not exist in the filesystem database

$> ls -l ~/.qme/database/shell/shell-8a*
-rw------- 1 yoh yoh 467 May 29 14:36 /home/yoh/.qme/database/shell/shell-8afeb65e-64fc-4f3a-8d9b-dc270d54bc27.json

so qme could just figure out full ID and report for it. That is where dynamic completions of argcomplete could also come very handy

So search wouldn’t suffice here?

[yarikoptic]

think docker, git -- you can search/show full id, but you never use it really. It is a great convenience IMHO. With search you need first to search, cut/paste, run target command

[vsoch]

Good point - what I'll do is first check for an exact match, then check for a partial, and only return the result if there is one partial match.

Okay here is an example, showing do a partial search for an existing, one for a prefix not existing, and one for a search that returns more than one result:

$ qme ls
Database: sqlite
1  shell-38f2535a-e38f-4bc4-8667-9c43726b1e7e   ls
2  shell-de58f61b-81da-467c-981c-497f7ae8556b   echo Hello Moto
3  shell-c231699a-4c3e-43f0-961f-2829d16d588c   echo Hello Another Moto
4  shell-9238cace-6cec-40cd-8e8d-b7d817217e2c   
5  shell-784bf5bd-9d48-4972-9acd-98ee1f7f0099   echo hello
6  shell-5031c6a1-ca4c-4f05-8131-db3e88f08e6b   I am echoing a thing
7  shell-1c2f96eb-0769-41d2-a691-fc1bf1c691b8   I am echoing a thing
8  shell-93af2d3e-ed4d-43fd-9f4e-8f1ca2d83750   I am echoing a thing
9  shell-645df5bd-ebb6-4d8d-ac80-57eda01cdf4f   I am echoing a thing
10 shell-217968a5-4515-43fa-b311-a9a28f3cfbed   I am echoing a thing
11 shell-2df8f75d-c659-4cbc-a7d2-7e18aae5f474   
12 shell-9817744f-77ae-4e8b-ac2e-2e326bc11d7b   echo hello

Just one exists

$ qme get shell-3
Database: sqlite
{
    "executor": "shell",
    "uid": "shell-38f2535a-e38f-4bc4-8667-9c43726b1e7e",
    "data": {
        "pwd": "/home/vanessa",
        "user": "vanessa",
        "timestamp": "2020-05-22 10:17:24.162844",
        "output": [

            "Templates\n",
            "Videos\n"
        ],
        "error": [],
        "returncode": 0,
        "pid": 2421,
        "cmd": [
            "ls"
        ],
        "status": "complete"
    },
    "command": "ls"
}

More than one exists

$ qme get shell-2
Database: sqlite
More than one task found for shell-2

None exist

$ qme get shell-28888
Database: sqlite
Cannot find task shell-28888
