lwip http server, can't read from socket

Postby engelant » Sun Oct 30, 2016 5:29 pm

So today I tried to create a litte http server, but I got stuck when reading from the accepted sockt. I don't know if this is directly esp related, but the lwip examples from the internet are supposed to work.

When I connect via netcat:

But I can type and send whatever I want, read() or recv() won't get it.
nc 192.168.2.111 80
Ok, here you go
GET / HTTP/1.0

I suppose for me an working example of listen -> accept -> read with esp32 would be sufficient, so any ideas are welcome.
Thanks.

I think Sprite has mentioned that he saw some problems with his esphttpd as well, with the latest code. I'll relay your example to our issue tracker in the morning.

Howdy. Not familiar with these "netconn" APIs but I have had good luck using the "sockets" API. Is there a reason that you want to use netconn over sockets?

Hi kolban,
actually I tried using the socket interface before
socket -> bind -> accept
but also was unable to read, it seems to just block and does not return.
If you happen to have an example of how it's supposed to work I'd be happy if you share it.
I'm using the current esp-idf and dependencies from git (last pulled a few hours ago).

Your code works for me.

EDIT: oops you're right it hangs after pulling the latest changes to esp-idf. Works on cbb26c9.

FYI, we have figured out the issue and a fix should hit master today or tomorrow.

Thankfully I was tinkering with areas outside of networking this weekend but at the end of the day, I was also trying to get an HTTP server working on an ESP32 (happened to be using JavaScript but that is also based on sockets). I found that the code was not seeing any incoming accepts (just as this thread was saying) and had forgotten about this thread. I think what I'm hearing here is that in the ESP-IDF over the weekend, the accept API (or some internals) had stopped working?

In my real-world work, when we have an issue that is liable to affect large numbers of folks, we have a "status" web page that we can go to see if there are "known issues" that I should be cognizant off. Breaks in code happen ... no issues there and ESP-IDF is pre 1.0 and hence all is open season and we have a stable 0.9 as needed.

That said ... I'm wondering if there isn't a place where we can keep a list of "known things that are broken" that are ideally categorized. The github issues list is great for reporting issues ... but that is as much a clearing house and tracking environment as anything and not particularly consumable for "This function is broke".

For my own curiosity, is there an automated regression suite associated with ESP-IDF? If yes, how often is it run? How long does it take to run? Does it produce reports that might form the basis of a "this function failed" report?

Neil,
we have an automated test suite which has two parts:
  • Compilation tests, build system tests, and a few unit tests which can run on the PC. Run for every commit, takes ~5 minutes to run.
  • Integration tests which involve real esp32 devices connected to a PC. Run for each commit on master branch, or, if triggered manually, for any given branch. Full suite takes slightly more than an hour to run (although this can be easily improved because there are many tests and they can run in parallel)
We currently have a lot of tests which are failing because of missing or broken functionality. Normally test failure in master branch would prevent code from being deployed to Github. We have decided that we need to keep delivering previews of new features even if some parts of the system don't work as expected yet. Therefore, as a temporary measure, we push to Github even if something in master branch is broken. QA team is working through test failures, creating issues for failing cases, and is adding them to "known failing" list. This is expressed by adding a hat symbol next the test name in test config files.

The idea about "status page" is a very sound one. By next week we should have an internal dashboard which will show current test status, and progress over time (which test has been failing all the time, which has just started failing). This dashboard can be easily made public, at least for master branch. I'll put this on our QA team plan.

Edit: here's how this status may look (based on the generated test reports):

Thanks to explain and share your internal process
I really like the idea of integration test / automatic tests on PC & real hardware (test driven process) a bit like how it is done for some critical projects in aeronautic (but in your case in a most efficient way) or like explained in Agility Process..., congratulations keep the good work.
