Currently resmoke writes to the /data directory. Specifically /data/db but maybe other locations also.

steve.gross@mongodb.com I think it is low priority because this was triggered by the linked BF which we closed as gone away. However this is a reasonable thing for people to expect resmoke to be able to do so it makes sense to keep it as a request.

steve.gross@mongodb.com There were failures associated with the linked PR that made it not work.

 

The following might be slightly wrong but is what I remember:

When setting resmoke to the current directory in evergreen using an absolute path the mongo shell complained because the path was over 100 characters. This is maybe something we can fix but I could not find where the code was for this when I looked last.
When setting resmoke to the current directory in evergreen using a relative path some of the mongo code broke for tests which caused other failures.

 

So one of these two things need to be fixed before this ticket is done.
