RepositorySimulator: add trackers/counters for downloaded files #1682
Description
Activity
I will work on it.
basically my idea was that
- repositorysimulator keeps lists of requests (I guess one for metadata, one for targets makes sense). It adds an item to list every time a request is made
- tests can at any time check that the list is what they expect
- tests can also clear the list when they want
- the format of the lists should be whatever makes most sense for the test code (urls? metadata role names? 🤷)
- added 6 commits that reference this issue

Description of issue or feature request:
There is a need in some test cases to check whether Updater requested the correct files from the repository.
For a concrete use case see #1666.
One option used in #1666 is to use
unittest.mockand "wrap"RepositorySimulator._fetch_*methods which does the job but does make the tests less readable.Therefore as an alternative, proposed by @jku #1666 (review), checking that the expected files are downloaded from remote can be done by adding some download counters into
RepositorySimulatorwhich would be cleaner and more maintainable
