Descrizione
### Describe the bug
While running the test suite with `go test ./...`, the `TestDeleteContext` test fails because it tries to write/read a config file at `./testdata/local.config`. However, the `cmd/testdata` directory does not exist in a fresh clone, causing the test to fail with:
```
open ./testdata/local.config: no such file or directory
```
This makes the test dependent on a manually existing local directory instead of being fully self-contained.
### Expected behavior
`go test ./...` should pass on a fresh clone without requiring the `cmd/testdata` directory to already exist. The test should create any temporary files or directories it needs during execution.
### Actual behavior
The test suite fails in `TestDeleteContext`:
```
--- FAIL: TestDeleteContext (0.00s)
context_test.go:44:
Error: Received unexpected error:
open ./testdata/local.config: no such file or directory
```
### How to Reproduce?
1. Clone the repository fresh: `git clone https://github.com/microcks/microcks-cli.git`
2. Change into the directory: `cd microcks-cli`
3. Run the test suite: `go test ./...`
4. Observe the failure in `cmd/context_test.go` at `TestDeleteContext`.
### Microcks version or git rev
_No response_
### Install method (`docker-compose`, `helm chart`, `operator`, `docker-desktop extension`,...)
_No response_
### Additional information
**Root cause.** `cmd/context_test.go` declares a hardcoded path:
```go
const testConfigFilePath = "./testdata/local.config"
```
and then calls `os.WriteFile(testConfigFilePath, ...)`. `os.WriteFile` does not create parent directories, and `.gitignore` excludes `**/testdata/**`, so the `cmd/testdata/` directory does not exist on a clean clone.
**Proposed fix.** Use Go's `t.TempDir()` so the test creates an isolated, auto-cleaned temporary directory on every run:
```go
testConfigFilePath := filepath.Join(t.TempDir(), "local.config")
```
This makes the test self-contained, removes the dependency on repository-local folders, and prevents state leakage between consecutive runs.
I would like to work on this issue if the maintainers agree with the proposed approach. I can send a small PR that updates the test to use `t.TempDir()`.

Direzione di ricerca
Inizia in cmd/context_test.go, da TestDeleteContext, e verifica come viene usato testConfigFilePath. Esegui go test ./... per riprodurre il fallimento dovuto all'assenza di cmd/testdata, quindi verifica che il test utilizzi una posizione temporanea isolata e passi in un checkout nuovo senza directory locali del repository.
