   1 # OCPP2 Mock Server
   2
   3 This project includes an Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) version 2.0.1 mock server implemented in Python.
   4
   5 ## Prerequisites
   6
   7 This project requires Python 3.7+ and [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) to install the required packages:
   8
   9 ```shell
  10 poetry install
  11 ```
  12
  13 ## Running the Server
  14
  15 To start the server, run the `server.py` script:
  16
  17 ```shell
  18 poetry run task server
  19 ```
  20
  21 The server will start listening for connections on port 9000.
  22
  23 ## Running the server with command sending
  24
  25 You can also specify a command and a period duration with the --request and --period options respectively when running the server. The server will then send your chosen command to the connected client every period seconds.
  26
  27 ### GetBaseReport Command
  28
  29 To run the server and send a GetBaseReport command every 5 seconds, use:
  30
  31 ```shell
  32 poetry run task server --request GetBaseReport --period 5
  33 ```
  34
  35 ### ClearCache Command
  36
  37 To run the server and send a ClearCache command every 5 seconds, use:
  38
  39 ```shell
  40 poetry run task server --request ClearCache --period 5
  41 ```
  42
  43 Please be mindful that these commands were examples according to the provided scenario, the available commands and their syntax might vary depending on the ocpp version and the implemented functionalities on your server.
  44
  45 ## Overview of the Server Scripts
  46
  47 ### Server.py
  48
  49 The server script waits for connections from clients. When a client connects, the server creates a new instance of the `ChargePoint` class. This class includes methods for handling various OCPP messages, most of which return a dummy response.
  50
  51 The server script uses the `websockets` and `ocpp` libraries to facilitate the implementation.
  52
  53 ## Development
  54
  55 ### Code formatting
  56
  57 ```shell
  58 poetry run task format
  59 ```
  60
  61 ### Code linting
  62
  63 ```shell
  64 poetry run task lint
  65 ```
  66
  67 ## Note
  68
  69 Primarily, this software is intended for testing applications. The server script don't adhere to the full OCPP specifications and it is advised not to use them in a production environment without additional development.
