LIBRARY IN DEVELOPMENT, NOT READY TO USE

Random Filesystem Changer

This library provides a way to randomly change a directory in order to mimic filesystem changes. The idea is to use this to stress test components in applications that operate on filesystem changes. It runs on a separate process, to attempt to mimic typical conditions of concurrent reads and writes.

Installation

npm install @catdawg/randomfschanger

Usage

'''

const randomfschanger = new RandomFSChanger(tmpDir.name, { seed: 1234, // random seed, to replicate the same file changes workerCount: 4 // how many workers will be independently writing on the filesystem, to test load. });

randomfschanger.start(); // wait for the changer to work await randomfschanger.stop(); // waits for confirmation from the changer that it actually stopped. '''

Tests

npm run dist - fork.js needs to be generated. npm test
