If cancelled during data transmission, #349 adds code to ensure that the connection automatically gets cancelled.
Add inerted test to ensure that cancellation before sending data does not result in a cancellation.
Add support for custom addressing by supplying a TsapPair to the PLC.
CPU, Rack and Slot properties are still present to preserve backwards
compatibility and to support alternate functionality based on the PLC
type.
- Add netcoreapp3.1 target framework, allowing this to run on linux and macos as well.
- Switch windows snap7 DLL to 64bit version 1.4.2. This also improves UnitTest stability (reduces false positives) on the CI (including appveyor)
- Changing the port used for S7NetTests when communicating with Snap7 to a value > 1000 allows tests to run on Linux without elevated privileges.
This is very fragile with time-dependent cancellation, but I don't know of a better way without messing with the code to be tested.
Seems to only work when the test is run as a single run, not when running the whole test suit.
- Do not allow null string to be passed, raise ArgumentNullException.
- Do not allow string whose ASCII representation is longer than the reserved length, since this currently leads to silent data loss.
- Always write the full binary data length of 2 + reservedLength, since that is what the binary representation of that string is in S7 memory, even if some tail bytes are unused by the current string.
I also suspect that S7WriteMultiple would have chocked on that last bit, but I am not sure. There aren't any tests for writing multiple Dataitems right now.
Adjust tests accordingly. Mostly add some tail bytes where necessary, and assert on exceptions where this is now required.
- Adds true support for 64bit double / LReal datatype.
- Set old Types.Single and Types.Double to obselete. Both class names use .NET types instead of S7 type names, contrary to all other types.
- Remove already obsoleted conversion from DWord to Real. Why is this even necessary?
For users caring about converting from DWord, they can still convert to single. But unless we get LWord support, there won't be a direct conversion to double/LReal.
- Adjust unit tests by removing rounding, testing directly double read/writes.
There is quite a bit of breaking changes at least in the automated Struct and object functions which automatically translate .NET types to appropriate S7 types.
My consideration was that if we ever want to support 64bit types, there is no way against breaking those existing incorrect conversions from 64bit .NET double to 32 bit S7 Real variables.
These unittests fail intentionally as the issue discussion has not reached
a consesual solution. Any solution should pass the unittests added in this commit.
