There are two reasons why this is beneficial: 1. github.com/google/go-cmp is more annoying to use for comparing data structures when there are interfaces to compare. Sure, there's a recipe for teaching it to compare errors, but how about making the errors trivially comparable instead? 2. if we want to send errors over the network, JSON serialization works but we cannot unmarshal the resulting string back to an error, so how about making this representation trivial to serialize (we are not going this now, but we need this property for websteps and it may be sensible to try to avoid to have duplicate code because of that -- measurex currently duplicates many tracex functionality and this is quite unfortunate because it slows development down) Additionally, if an error is a string: 3. we can very easily use a switch for comparing its possible values with "" representing the absence of errors, while it is more complex to do the same when using a nullable string or even an error (i.e., an interface) 4. if a type is not nullable, it's easier to write safe code for it and we may want to refactor experiments to use the internal representation of measurements for more robust processing code For all these reasons, let's internally use strings in tracex. The overall aim here is to reduce the duplicated code between pre and post-measurex measurements (see https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2035). |
