[FEATURE]: control max-depth for directory traversal
Please describe your feature
Similar to #1809 we should have a configurable option on command line such as --max-depth
and configuration value max-depth
that can control the level of directories to traverse when using the walk_tree method, by default max_depth=None
is set which will traverse entire directory tree
https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/blob/0804a13b31491f3657a0444b64e8c19b89ab3525/buildtest/utils/file.py#L170-L177
I think this feature would be useful when one wants to traverse level 1 which is only files within a directory and not all sub-directories.
This feature would be useful let's say one wants to build all buildspecs in tutorials/*.yml
and user just does buildtest --max-depth=1 bd -b tutorials/
Suggest potential solution
The configuration value would be defined as follows
system:
generic:
max-depth: 1
Note that if its defined in configuration this will be the default behavior and one would either update or remove the value if they want the default behavior or set it on the command line.
The max-depth
must be an integer and >=0
