Consider creating a fake for `GenericNeXusWorkflow` #121

Open SimonHeybrock opened 1 month ago

SimonHeybrock commented 1 month ago

Usage in a unit test:

def test_loki():
    wf = LokiWorkflow(nexus_workflow=FakeGenericNeXusWorkflow())
    wf.compute(IofQ[SampleRun])

This would allow for bypassing file I/O as well as dealing with large data (or having to create small files). The challenge is that unless instrument parameters are reasonable the workflow may fail or return data that is not verifiable, e.g., if all data is in unphysical regions.
