ssl-auto-ref-ci-client

This folder contains a sample client that connects to the CI interface of an autoRef and the game-controller.

Protocol

The communication is established with a bidirectional TCP connection. Messages are encoded with Protocol Buffers. Each message is preceded by an uvarint containing the message size in bytes, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Delimiting+Protobuf+Messages for details.

The protobuf format can be found in ../../proto/ssl_autoref_ci.proto.

The default port is 10013.

Sample client

The sample client, that is included in this folder, can be used to test the connection. It can be run with

go run cmd/ssl-auto-ref-ci-client/main.go

Pass it the -h parameter to get the available options.

Test with TIGERs AutoRef

# Run GC in CI mode
ssl-game-controller -timeAcquisitionMode ci

# Run autoRef in active CI mode (headless)
docker run --net host -ti tigersmannheim/auto-referee -c -a -hl

# Alternatively: Run autoRef in active CI mode with UI (Linux only)
docker run --net host -e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -ti tigersmannheim/auto-referee-vnc -c -a

# Run test client
go run cmd/ssl-auto-ref-ci-client/main.go

# Send a FORCE_START via GC-UI and check if ball_left_field is detected
