Allow to configure a default value for <range> in report command

[chrko]

This addresses #394 which was recently opened by me.

TODOs:

• test(s)
• extend documentation

[lauft]

Thanks for your contribution. I will review it as soon as possible.

Btw.: Do you still plan to add tests? They were on your TODO-list...

[chrko]

@lauft Depends :D I haven't checked the testsuite yet how much effort this will be to test. If you consider this ready to merge, I would create a dedicated issue / pull request and start to work on a test case.

There is no hurry, so I would prefer to have this PR complete with tests. I will try to come up with some pointers, else feel free to ask.

I starting with the following approach to use self.t.faketime(…) to ensure always a consistent output, but this fails due the fact that faketime is not installed inside the docker container(s) yet. Any hint how to proceed?

Do not use faketime, but instead relative datetimes. For example, see test/delete.t:46. In your example above, I would say you do not need to use the line self.t.faketime(...) at all.

Note that self.t.add_default_extention(...) installs from test/test_extensions which only contains ext_echo (and which may be unsuited as it only returns test works). Copy debug.py from ext into this directory to use it for testing.
