PlaceOS Driver

The framework for running drivers on PlaceOS.

Requirements

• libssh2 required for SSH support

Transport selection

Only the transports a driver declares are compiled into the binary, based on the discovery settings in the driver class body:

Starting a module with a role the driver was not compiled for raises at module start, for example: driver was not compiled with HTTP transport support, declare 'uri_base' in the driver to enable it.

All transports can be forced into a binary with the -Dplaceos_all_transports compiler flag, by setting the PLACEOS_ALL_TRANSPORTS env var at build time, or by calling PlaceOS::Driver.load_all_transports after requiring the library. The test-harness sets the env var on its build service, as DriverSpecs launches every driver against a mock raw TCP server (role: 1) plus a mock HTTP server, regardless of the transports the driver uses in production.
