I've encountered an issue in how absolute file paths are handled that are passed to the -D, --db-location flag.
Bug 🐛
https://github.com/sensepost/gowitness/blob/master/storage/db.go#L52 is missing logic to appropriately handle absolute file paths, for example:

Ability to specify absolute file paths to the -D, --db-location argument.
Solution
I've implemented a helper function that fixes the issue and added some unit tests for verification.
Passing Tests
Tested it with two trial runs that garnered the desired functionality.

Test cases are passing:
