This commit message is the same across probe-cli, probe-desktop, and probe-android. With the changes contained in the enclosed diff, I'm starting to add support for torsf for android and for desktop. When smoke testing that torsf was WAI, I also noticed that its progress messages in output are too frequent. We may want to do better in a future version when we'll be able to read `tor`'s output. In the meanwhile, make the progress messages less frequent and indicated the maximum runtime inside of the messages themselves. This improved message, albeit not so nice from the UX PoV, should at least provide a clue that we're not stuck. Reference issue: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1917
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.
