I’m trying to open a tcp socket from my Roku 3 for the purpose of reporting test results (instead of using the native debug console)
I’ve copied the example for roStreamSocket - but it doesn’t work, at all.
'Run tests on brstest
function main()
print "MAIN...."
messagePort = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
connections = {}
buffer = CreateObject("roByteArray")
buffer[512] = 0
tcpListen = CreateObject("roStreamSocket")
tcpListen.setMessagePort(messagePort)
addr = CreateObject("roSocketAddress")
addr.setPort(54321)
tcpListen.setAddress(addr)
tcpListen.notifyReadable(true)
tcpListen.notifyWritable(true)
x = tcpListen.listen(4)
if not tcpListen.eOK()
print "Error creating listen socket"
stop
end if
while True
event = wait(0, messagePort)
if type(event) = "roSocketEvent"
print "GOT HERE"
changedID = event.getSocketID()
if changedID = tcpListen.getID() and tcpListen.isReadable()
newConnection = tcpListen.accept()
if newConnection = Invalid
print "accept failed"
else
print "accepted new connection " newConnection.getID()
newConnection.notifyReadable(true)
newConnection.setMessagePort(messagePort)
connections[Stri(newConnection.getID())] = newConnection
end if
else
' Activity on an open connection
connection = connections[Stri(changedID)]
closed = False
if connection.isReadable()
received = connection.receive(buffer, 0, 512)
print "received is " received
if received > 0
print "Echo input: '"; buffer.ToAsciiString(); "'"
' If we are unable to send, just drop data for now.
' You could use notifywritable and buffer data, but that is
' omitted for clarity.
connection.send(buffer, 0, received)
else if received=0 ' client closed
closed = True
end if
end if
if closed or not connection.eOK()
print "closing connection " changedID
connection.close()
connections.delete(Stri(changedID))
end if
end if
end if
end while
print "Main loop exited"
tcpListen.close()
for each id in connections
connections[id].close()
end for
end function
Is what I have in my main.brs - and it listens, and I seem to be able to telnet to the port - but it reports no connection event, nor does it report any data sent to it - and the event isn’t of type string, but of type function
I’m not sure why it didn’t work for you. I ran your code (unmodified), then typed telnet 192.168.0.6 54321 followed by hello. The debug output from the code (on port 8085) showed:
------ Compiling dev 'Socket Test' ------
------ Running dev 'Socket Test' main ------
MAIN....
GOT HERE
accepted new connection 87031814
GOT HERE
received is 1
Echo input: 'h'
GOT HERE
received is 1
Echo input: 'e'
GOT HERE
received is 1
Echo input: 'l'
GOT HERE
received is 1
Echo input: 'l'
GOT HERE
received is 1
Echo input: 'o'
Each character typed was echoed back to the telnet console on port 54321.
What output are you seeing from the debugger on port 8085?

Are you literally running just the above code, or are you running in a larger context with some other code?
If the latter, make sure you don’t have a function/sub named ‘event’ somewhere.

Oooh, that’s a good one! It throws us at the name scoping question, doesn’t it.
I tried to make a web server in the Roku Application. I used the above code is below here.
Here It crashes after Print Start While Loop.
sub init()
? "Start Main()"
m.port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
connections = {}
buffer = CreateObject("roByteArray")
buffer[512] = 0
tcpListen = CreateObject("roStreamSocket")
tcpListen.SetMessagePort(m.port)
addr = CreateObject("roSocketAddress")
addr.setPort(54321)
? "addr.IsAddressValid() : " addr.IsAddressValid()
tcpListen.setAddress(addr) ' Here Automatic set 0.0.0.0 IP
tcpListen.notifyReadable(true)
tcpListen.notifyWritable(true)
x = tcpListen.listen(5)
if not tcpListen.eOK()
? "Error creating listen socket"
STOP
end if
while true
? "Start While Loop"
msg = Wait(0, m.port)
? "msg : "msg
? "Type(msg) : " Type(msg)
if (Type(msg) = "roSocketEvent")
? "GOT HERE"
changedID = msg.getSocketID()
if changedID = tcpListen.getID() and tcpListen.isReadable()
newConnection = tcpListen.accept()
if newConnection = invalid
? "accept failed"
else
? "accepted new connection " newConnection.getID()
newConnection.notifyReadable(true)
newConnection.SetMessagePort(m.port)
connections[StrI(newConnection.getID())] = newConnection
end if
else
' Activity on an open connection
connection = connections[StrI(changedID)]
closed = false
if connection.isReadable()
received = connection.receive(buffer, 0, 512)
? "received is " received
if received > 0
connection.send(buffer, 0, received)
else if received = 0 ' client closed
closed = true
end if
end if
if closed or not connection.eOK()
? "closing connection " changedID
connection.close()
connections.delete(StrI(changedID))
end if
end if
end if
? "End While Loop"
end while
? "Main loop exited"
tcpListen.close()
for each id in connections
connections[id].close()
end for
? "End Main()"
end sub
I tried to Run this code in Roku Premiere +. I also Read the namming Scope. But I dont know why it doesn’t work. you have any idea about this.
