> 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.
