The framework for running drivers on PlaceOS.
- libssh2 required for SSH support
Only the transports a driver declares are compiled into the binary, based on the discovery settings in the driver class body:
| Declaration | Transports compiled |
|---|---|
tcp_port 1234 |
TCP + SSH |
udp_port 1234 |
UDP |
uri_base "https://..." |
HTTP + websocket |
| none of the above | logic only |
Starting a module with a role the driver was not compiled for raises at module start, for example: driver was not compiled with HTTP transport support, declare 'uri_base' in the driver to enable it.
All transports can be forced into a binary with the -Dplaceos_all_transports compiler flag, by setting the PLACEOS_ALL_TRANSPORTS env var at build time, or by calling PlaceOS::Driver.load_all_transports after requiring the library. The test-harness sets the env var on its build service, as DriverSpecs launches every driver against a mock raw TCP server (role: 1) plus a mock HTTP server, regardless of the transports the driver uses in production.
