Provide user credentials about workshopper HOT 10 OPEN

Still relevant. I can help with design, not with code, since now in Ruby :-P

from workshopper.

To enable this feature variable DYNAMIC_USER_NAME has to be defined.

User name will be USER_NAME variable suffixed with an auto-incrementing number.

If NUM_USERS variable is provided, the system will throw error when the generated number reaches the limit.

Password is static defined through the USER_PASSWORD variable.

from workshopper.

I would rather get these values in new variables, and make it possible to reassign to the existing ones.

Something like:
DYNAMIC_USER_NAME=user%02d (format for the number)

The previous format would allow to have the number formatted to 2 digits, 3 digits, ... depending on the size of the workshop.

And then, in the regular vars for the workshop, we could use, re-assignment:
USER_NAME={{DYNAMIC_USER_NAME}}

PASSWORD for the time being, as it's being static, would be possible kept as it is.

These would prevent breaking changes when the option is activated.

I like the idea with formatting, and IMHO OK to enforce it, so that

if DYNAMIC_USER_NAME is defined then USER_NAME is going to behave as a template as per

https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/Kernel.html#method-i-sprintf

with one argument being passed in.

from workshopper.

DYNAMIC_USER_NAME var would be both the format for generating usernames and also the generated username?

Why do we need to cap the number of usernames generated?

from workshopper.

DYNAMIC_USER_NAME is just a marker to enable the behaviour

USER_NAME has the format

You do not have to, if NUM_USERS is not provided or is 0 then it will go till it OOMs.

I don't think NUM_USERS is needed to be implemented. It should just act as a counter. How many users are available is not really relevant to workshopper.

Would that be implemented using an embedded db?

@siamaksade we already have it, have just reused it.

@marekjelen, what do you mean? If this is still relevant? Yes. If there's been test? No, but if it's testable I'll go ahead and give feedback
