The current structure of the
*registry.Factory
registry is that we register an experiment like this:Then, when we're setting options, we're modifying the
config
directly with code like this:Finally, we pass the modified config to a new experiment when we're creating it:
This means that, if we run two back experiments that both require options, we're going to always reuse the same option structure. This feels wrong. We should instead construct a new factory each time, so we start from empty options:
This diff applies this very simple mechanical change.
Note that so far we were ~good with the current codebase because we don't use options much and generally we invoke each experiment just once per run. This is going to change with OONI Run v2 and richer input. Therefore, it makes sense to tackle this issue now in the context of ooni/probe#2607.
