Thanks for all the feedback @spmallette, I have implemented all of your
suggestions. Please let me know if there are any further tweaks which would be
helpful.
> Refactor SimpleSocketServer to be accessible to all GLV's
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP-2819
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2819
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: driver
> Reporter: Cole Greer
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently there is a large gap in the testing capabilities of the java driver
> compared to the other GLV's. Part of this gap is the java driver has
> SimpleSocketServer which provides a useful platform to write tests which
> require specific response behaviour from the server. Having such a tool for
> all of the GLV's would allow for testing of many more potential failure cases
> as well as taking a step towards standardizing the testing approach for all
> GLV's.
> This work can be divided into 2 main parts.
> Part One: Decoupling SimpleSocketServer from the java driver. This is the
> most disruptive part of the proposed changes. This has already been discussed
> [here|https://lists.apache.org/thread/vd7w43xjzvc5rr0135gql9mxhdlcltr9] on
> the dev list but I will summarize. To avoid having all the GLV's depending on
> the java driver, SimpleSocketServer and it's related classes should be
> extracted to a new module gremlin-tools/gremlin-socket-server. Unfortunately
> the socket server still relies on the following classes in gremlin driver:
> tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.message.*
> tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.ser.*
> tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.MessageSerializer
> tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.Tokens
> To avoid a cyclic dependency between gremlin-driver and
> gremlin-socket-server. these classes should be moved to another new module
> gremlin-util which will house any classes which are to be shared between the
> driver and server. Moving these classes to a new module and package will
> break import lines and will need to be left until 3.7. If this added testing
> capability is desired in 3.5 a potential solution is to move the classes to
> the gremlin-util module, but leave them in the gremlin.driver package. In
> initial tests this seems to work without issue although it is an unusual way
> to structure the code and should not be considered a long term solution.
> The second part of this refactor is to reconfigure the newly extracted
> gremlin-socket-server to be usable by all of the GLV's. My initial thoughts
> are to dockerize the server and have the container run during the testing
> phase of the GLV's. There is still some consideration to be done as to how
> the GLV's should best interact with this server. Currently Junit will start
> and stop the server for each individual test, each test has direct access to
> the server object and can control it as needed. The GLV's will not have the
> same direct control over the server. Any control options or behaviour needed
> will either need to be encoded in the server itself as custom behaviour
> triggered by specific request ID's or control through some external wrapper
> or interface around the server. There is still consideration needed as to how
> this should be done. Any comments on desired functionality or behaviour would
> be greatly appreciated.
