We are not using them anymore. The only nettest still using the legacy netx implementation is tor, for which setting these fields is useless, because it performs each measurement into a separate goroutine. Hence, let us start removing this part of the legacy netx codebase, which is hampering progress in other areas. Occurred to me while doing testing for the recent changes in error mapping (https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505).
Directory github.com/ooni/probe-engine/experiment
This directory contains the implementation of all the supported experiments, one for each directory. The OONI spec repository contains a description of all the specified experiments.
Note that in the OONI spec repository experiments are called nettests. Originally, they were also called nettests here but that created confusion with nettests in ooni/probe-cli. Therefore, we now use the term experiment to indicate the implementation and the term nettest to indicate the user facing view of such implementation.
Note that some experiments implemented here are not part of
the OONI specification. For example, the urlgetter
experiment is not in the OONI spec repository. The reason why
this happens is that urlgetter is an experiment "library" that
other experiments use to implement their functionality.
Likewise, the example experiment is a minimal experiment that does nothing and you could use to bootstrap the implementation of a new experiment. Of course, this experiment is not part of the OONI specification.
