x-execute-socket-smoke-tests

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates black-box smoke tests against the application's TCP socket server using a standalone Java client that speaks the real wire protocol with proper message framing (length-prefix header). Tests verify connectivity, message exchange, error handling for malformed messages, and persistent connection behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated end-to-end smoke testing of TCP socket interfaces across environments
• Supports Kubernetes port-forwarding for orchestrated environments (the --k8s flow) and multiple scenarios (echo, request-approved, request-denied, malformed, persistent, all)
• Validates framing, payload processing, error handling, and connection lifecycle
• Configurable host/port and scenarios via command line

Quick Start

Run the command /x-execute-socket-smoke-tests to run all configured test scenarios against the target server, optionally using --host and --port to target a different host.
