Running an ooni nettest with our ooniprobe.conf specifying that tor should be started and a DataDir should be used which is currently empty, as well as specifying that geoip lookups should be used (with a data dir which already has the geoip data file) we get the following:

If we then try running again, now that the Tor DataDir is populated with descriptors, we get:

and we get the same as the last one if we specify in the config to not include IP or use geoip.
