for test cases
VERSION
version 1.16
SYNOPSIS
A very simple echo server with logging of requests by each client:
use strict;
use POE;
use Test::POE::Server::TCP;
POE::Session->create(
package_states => [
'main' => [qw(
_start
testd_connected
testd_disconnected
testd_client_input
)],
],
);
$poe_kernel->run();
exit 0;
sub _start {
# Spawn the Test::POE::Server::TCP server.
$_[HEAP]->{testd} = Test::POE::Server::TCP->spawn(
address => '127.0.0.1',
port => 0,
);
return;
}
sub testd_connected {
my ($heap,$id) = @_[HEAP,ARG0];
# A client connected the unique ID is in ARG0
# Create a blank arrayref for this client on *our* heap
$heap->{clients}->{ $id } = [ ];
return;
}
sub testd_client_input {
my ($kernel,$heap,$sender,$id,$input) = @_[KERNEL,HEAP,SENDER,ARG0,ARG1];
# The client sent us a line of input
# lets store it
push @{ $heap->{clients}->{ $id }, $input;
# Okay, we are an echo server so lets send it back to the client
# We know the SENDER so can always obtain the server object.
my $testd = $sender->get_heap();
$testd->send_to_client( $id, $input );
# Or even
# $sender->get_heap()->send_to_client( $id, $input );
# Alternatively we could just post back to the SENDER
# $kernel->post( $sender, 'send_to_client', $id, $input );
return;
}
sub testd_disconnected {
my ($heap,$id) = @_[HEAP,ARG0];
# Client disconnected for whatever reason
# We need to free up our storage
delete $heap->{clients}->{ $id };
return;
}
Using the module in a testcase:

use Test::POE::Server::TCP;
plan tests => 5;
my @data = (
'This is a test',
'This is another test',
'This is the last test',
);
POE::Session->create(
package_states => [
'main' => [qw(

_sock_up
_sock_fail
_sock_in
_sock_err
testd_connected
testd_disconnected

DESCRIPTIONTest::POE::Server::TCP is a POE component that provides a TCP server
framework for inclusion in client component test cases, instead of
having to roll your own.
Once registered with the component, a session will receive events
related to client connects, disconnects, input and flushed output. Each
of these events will refer to a unique client ID which may be used in
communication with the component when sending data to the client or
disconnecting a client connection.
CONSTRUCTOR
"spawn"
Takes a number of optional arguments:
'alias', set an alias on the component;
'address', bind the listening socket to a particular address;
'port', listen on a particular port, default is 0, assign a random port;
'options', a hashref of POE::Session options;
'filter', specify a POE::Filter to use for client connections, default is POE::Filter::Line;
'inputfilter', specify a POE::Filter for client input;
'outputfilter', specify a POE::Filter for output to clients;
'prefix', specify a different prefix than 'testd' for events;
The semantics for "filter", "inputfilter" and "outputfilter" are
the same as for POE::Component::Server::TCP in that one may provide
either a "SCALAR", "ARRAYREF" or an "OBJECT".
If the component is "spawn"ed within another session it will
automatically "register" the parent session to receive "all"
events.
METHODS
"session_id"
Returns the POE::Session ID of the component.
"shutdown"
Terminates the component. Shuts down the listener and disconnects
connected clients.
"send_to_client"
Send some output to a connected client. First parameter must be a
valid client id. Second parameter is a string of text to send. The
second parameter may also be an arrayref of items to send to the
client. If the filter you have used requires an arrayref as input,
nest that arrayref within another arrayref.
"send_to_all_clients"
Send some output to all connected clients. The parameter is a
string of text to send. The parameter may also be an arrayref of
items to send to the clients. If the filter you have used requires
an arrayref as input, nest that arrayref within another arrayref.
"client_info"
Retrieve socket information of a given client. Requires a valid
client ID as a parameter. If called in a list context it returns a
list consisting of, in order, the client address, the client TCP
port, our address and our TCP port. In a scalar context it returns
a HASHREF with the following keys:
'peeraddr', the client address;
'peerport', the client TCP port;
'sockaddr', our address;
'sockport', our TCP port;
"client_wheel"
Retrieve the POE::Wheel::ReadWrite object of a given client.
Requires a valid client ID as a parameter. This enables one to
manipulate the given POE::Wheel::ReadWrite object, say to switch
POE::Filter.
"disconnect"
Places a client connection in pending disconnect state. Requires a
valid client ID as a parameter. Set this, then send an applicable
message to the client using send_to_client() and the client
connection will be terminated.
"terminate"
Immediately disconnects a client conenction. Requires a valid
client ID as a parameter.
"pause_listening"
Stops the underlying listening socket from accepting new
connections. This lets you test whether you handle the connection
timing out gracefully.
"resume_listening"
The companion of "pause_listening"
"getsockname"
Access to the POE::Wheel::SocketFactory method of the underlying
listening socket.
"port"
Returns the port that the component is listening on.
"start_listener"
If the listener fails on "listen" you can attempt to restart it
with this.
INPUT EVENTS
These are events that the component will accept:
"register"
Takes N arguments: a list of event names that your session wants to
listen for, minus the 'testd_' prefix.
Registering for 'all' will cause it to send all TESTD-related
events to you; this is the easiest way to handle it.
"unregister"
Takes N arguments: a list of event names which you don't want to
receive. If you've previously done a 'register' for a particular
event which you no longer care about, this event will tell the
POP3D to stop sending them to you. (If you haven't, it just ignores
you. No big deal).
"shutdown"
Terminates the component. Shuts down the listener and disconnects
connected clients.
"send_to_client"
Send some output to a connected client. First parameter must be a
valid client id. Second parameter is a string of text to send. The
second parameter may also be an arrayref of items to send to the
client. If the filter you have used requires an arrayref as input,
nest that arrayref within another arrayref.
"send_to_all_clients"
Send some output to all connected clients. The parameter is a
string of text to send. The parameter may also be an arrayref of
items to send to the clients. If the filter you have used requires
an arrayref as input, nest that arrayref within another arrayref.
"disconnect"
Places a client connection in pending disconnect state. Requires a
valid client ID as a parameter. Set this, then send an applicable
message to the client using send_to_client() and the client
connection will be terminated.
"terminate"
Immediately disconnects a client conenction. Requires a valid
client ID as a parameter.
"start_listener"
If the listener fails on "listen" you can attempt to restart it
with this.
OUTPUT EVENTS
The component sends the following events to registered sessions. If you
have changed the "prefix" option in "spawn" then substitute "testd"
with the event prefix that you specified.
"testd_registered"
This event is sent to a registering session. ARG0 is the
Test::POE::Server::TCP object.
"testd_listener_failed"
Generated if the component cannot either start a listener or there
is a problem accepting client connections. ARG0 contains the name
of the operation that failed. ARG1 and ARG2 hold numeric and
string values for $!, respectively.
If the operation was "listen", the component will remove the
listener. You may attempt to start it again using
"start_listener".
"testd_connected"
Generated whenever a client connects to the component. ARG0 is the
client ID, ARG1 is the client's IP address, ARG2 is the client's
TCP port. ARG3 is our IP address and ARG4 is our socket port.
"testd_disconnected"
Generated whenever a client disconnects. ARG0 was the client ID,
ARG1 was the client's IP address, ARG2 was the client's TCP port.
ARG3 was our IP address and ARG4 was our socket port.
"testd_client_input"
Generated whenever a client sends us some traffic. ARG0 is the
client ID, ARG1 is the data sent ( tokenised by whatever
POE::Filter you specified ).
"testd_client_flushed"
Generated whenever anything we send to the client is actually
flushed down the 'line'. ARG0 is the client ID.
