Overview ¶
Package devmaster keys a test binary.
cek needs a master key before the first database opens, and it does not go looking for one — a process that could not resolve a key opens nothing rather than writing plaintext. A production process resolves it through credz.Boot, from KMS. A test process has no KMS, so it mints its own.
Importing this package for its side effect is how a test binary says that:
import _ "github.com/hanzoai/cloud/internal/devmaster"
It is stated once here rather than in a TestMain per package, because it is one fact about test binaries and not seventy independent decisions.
It does nothing outside a test binary. An import that reached production could otherwise key a real deployment with a master that dies with the process — every database written under it unreadable on the next boot, and nothing on fire until then.
