feature request: dummy store

[scoopex]

Trocla should provide a dummy store which accepts but ignores store operations and returns dummy values for any get operation for test automation.

This is useful if you:

• use manually created values in trocla which fail in a test environment because they are fetch by (i.e. offical ssl certificates)
• have to test a high number of hosts (performance)
• you do not want to to configure and preload a test storage for testing purposes

It seems that you just have to implement a new store in lib/trocla/stores/.

Do you have any hints?

So trocla supports loading stores, that are external to trocla. See Storage backends. What you need to do:

1. Write a class that inherits from Trocla::Store and implements all the required methods, as well as the behavior you want. Basically:

   class MyStore < Trocla::Storage
   #your stuff
   end

2. Store that class e.g. in /etc/trocla/mystore.rb
3. Your storage configuration then should look like:

   store: MyStore
   store_require: /etc/trocla/mystore.rb

done.

Thanks, i wrote a trivial dummy store for my purposes. I will test this in my environment.

let me know if something doesn't work or if you have improvements regarding the documentation, I would welcome PRs! :-) Otherwise I would close this, as it's all done.
