UTCP Socket Plugin (UDP/TCP)

This plugin adds UDP and TCP communication protocols to UTCP 1.0.

Running Tests

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.10+
• pip
• (Optional) a virtual environment

1. Install core and the socket plugin in editable mode with dev extras:

pip install -e "./core[dev]"
pip install -e ./plugins/communication_protocols/socket[dev]

2. Run the socket plugin tests:

python -m pytest plugins/communication_protocols/socket/tests -v

3. Run a single test or filter by keyword:

# One file
python -m pytest plugins/communication_protocols/socket/tests/test_tcp_communication_protocol.py -v

# Filter by keyword (e.g., delimiter framing)
python -m pytest plugins/communication_protocols/socket/tests -k delimiter -q

4. Optional end-to-end sanity check (mock UDP/TCP servers):

python scripts/socket_sanity.py

Notes:

• On Windows, your firewall may prompt the first time tests open UDP/TCP sockets; allow access or run as admin if needed.
• Tests use pytest-asyncio. The dev extras installed above provide required dependencies.
• Streaming is single-chunk by design, consistent with HTTP/Text transports. Multi-chunk streaming can be added later behind provider configuration.
