DD 42: Wallet Dev Experiments
#############################
Summary
=======
This design document defines new ``taler://`` URIs to cause synthetic errors
or special states in the wallet that can then be rendered by the UI.
Motivation
==========
UIs need to handle various (error-) states and responses of wallet-core. It's
not easy to cover all of these states and responses manually. Some of them are
hard to reach or simulate without an elaborate test setup.
Requirements
============
The implementation of synthetic errors should be as separate from production
code as possible, to avoid making the normal code paths unreadable.
Proposed Solution
=================
Special taler:// URIs
---------------------
* ``taler://dev-experiment/$STATE_ID``
* ``taler://pay/...?dev-experiment=``
Special http(s):// URIs
-----------------------
* ``http(s)://*.dev-experiment.taler.net/``
* URLs for this subdomain are handled specially by the
wallet's HTTP layer and return fixed / mocked responses
instead of making real requests.
