1. add eof channel to event emitter and use this channel as signal that we shouldn't be sending anymore instead of using a pattern where we use a timer to decide sending has timed out (because we're using a buffered channel, it is still possible for some evetns to end up in the channel if there is space, but this is not a concern, because the events will be deleted when the channel itself is gone); 2. refactor all tests where we assumed the output channel was closed to actually use a parallel "eof" channel and use it as signal we should not be sending anymore (not strictly required but still the right thing to do in terms of using consistent patterns); 3. modify how we construct a runner so that it passes to the event emitter an "eof" channel and closes this channel when the main goroutine running the task is terminating; 4. modify the task to signal events such as "task goroutine started" and "task goroutine stopped" using channels, which helps to write much more correct tests; 5. take advantage of the previous change to improve the test that ensures we're not blocking for a small number of events and also improve the name of such a test to reflect what it's testing. The related issue in term of fixing the channel usage pattern is https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1438. Regarding improving testability, instead, the correct reference issue is https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1903. There are possibly more changes to apply here to improve this package and its testability, but let's land this diff first and then see how much time is left for further improvements. I've run unit and integration tests with `-race` locally. This diff will need to be backported to `release/3.11`. |

OONI Probe Client Library and CLI
The Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) is a non-profit free software project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in documenting Internet censorship around the world.
This repository contains core OONI tools written in Go:
-
the CLI client (cmd/ooniprobe);
-
the test helper server (internal/cmd/oohelperd);
-
the mobile library (pkg/oonimkall);
-
and all the related support packages (inside internal).
Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file.
User setup
Please, follow the instructions at ooni.org/install/cli
to install ooniprobe. If we do not support your use case, please let us know. Once
ooniprobe is installed, try ooniprobe help to get interactive help.
Reporting issues
Report issues at github.com/ooni/probe.
Please, make sure you add the ooni/probe-cli label.
Build instructions
ooniprobe
Be sure you have golang >= 1.17 and a C compiler (Mingw-w64 for Windows). You can build using:
go build -v ./cmd/ooniprobe
This will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.
Android bindings
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
./mk android
to build bindings for Android. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) pushed to the Maven Central package repository. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
iOS bindings
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
./mk ios
to build bindings for iOS. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) added to GitHub releases. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
miniooni
Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:
go build -v ./internal/cmd/miniooni
This will generate a binary called miniooni in the current directory.
oohelperd
Oohelperd is the test helper server. Compile using:
go build -v ./internal/cmd/oohelperd
This will generate a binary called oohelperd in the current directory.
Specifications
Every nettest (aka experiment) implemented in this repository has a companion spec in the ooni/spec repository.
Contributing
Please, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Updating dependencies
go get -u -v ./... && go mod tidy
Releasing
Create an issue according to the routine release template and perform any item inside the check-list.
We build releases using ./mk, which requires GNU make. Try
the ./mk help|less command for detailed usage.
