Rules simulator does not support multi-location updates.

[mckoss]

There is no way to write a test for a multi-location update in the simulator since all writes are to an atomic location and sequential.

Expect a way to test a multi-location write scenario.

A couple ideas of ways to implement this:

• With no change to API - but treat successive writes (between succeeds or fails statements) as a multi-location update.
• Add a .update({"path-1": <value-1>, "path-2": <value-2>); API.
• Add explicit grouping command around multi-location updates:

.beginUpdate()
  .at(<path>)
  .write(<data>)
  .at(<path>)
  .write(<data>)
.endUpdate()
.succeeds(<reason>)

I'm leaning to the last approach as being most consistent with the current testing API.

hey @mckoss I was wondering if there was any progress on this?

I'm itching to get back to more work on Bolt and address the outstanding PR's I have in flight. I'm hopeful and can return to working on this in the next few weeks - I've been working on some other projects for the last few months.

Hello, Any update on this ? we are using updates all over the places in our JS code, and could need a way to test the rules. perhaps using "patch" ???

I really need this as well, any updates?
