removal cleanup: remove off-chain storage
Tested, it and it seems to work, but maybe I'm over-engineering it... Are there any better ideas on how to implement it without sticking a whole fake pallet into the runtime? |

Tests?
I've done manual testing. I could automate that, but that seems to be overkill for a disposable fake pallet that will only fire once. Besides, I'm not even sure that this is the right way to do what I want to do, and I'm still waiting for someone to come and say, "you're doing it totally wrong, see how it should be" 🙂 |
What was your process for testing it, could you post a summary of the results? Regarding the approach, I wonder if it's possible to use a runtime migration rather than a pallet? If not, probably deserves an issue. |
I've spun up a zombienet, then applied runtime upgrade with However, this approach has some significant drawbacks. First, I'm sticking a whole fake pallet into the runtime just to remove several values from offchain storage. I'd expect an easier mechanism for that, but I didn't find one. That pallet has to be removed afterward. Second, until it is removed, it will fire an offchain worker every next block. It will do close to nothing (get the block number from on-chain storage; check we're not at that block; exit), but still, it's completely unneeded overhead. Unfortunately, regular migration doesn't work here, as the offchain storage can only be accessed from an offchain worker, not from the runtime itself. That's the problem I'm trying to overcome with this fake pallet, and I'd be glad to hear that there's some cleaner solution for that. |

I'm not a FRAME expert, but if it's tested to work, sounds good to me :)
