Verify MeshcomWebDesk changes
Build & launch (isolated — does not touch the real node or data)
dotnet build MeshcomWebDesk/MeshcomWebDesk.csproj
# Isolated instance: local UDP loopback, throwaway data/log dirs.
# NOTE: Kestrel ignores the Urls env var (appsettings wins) → app listens on http://0.0.0.0:5162.
$env:Meshcom__ListenIp="127.0.0.1"; $env:Meshcom__ListenPort="17999"
$env:Meshcom__DeviceIp="127.0.0.1"; $env:Meshcom__DevicePort="17998"
$env:Meshcom__DataPath="<tempdir>\data"; $env:Meshcom__LogPath="<tempdir>\logs"
dotnet run --project MeshcomWebDesk --no-build
A SocketException (10054) right after start is the ICMP echo of the
registration packet sent into the void — harmless, the service keeps running.
Inject test stations (simulates a MeshCom node)
Send UDP JSON packets to 127.0.0.1:17999. Formats (see MeshcomUdpService.ParseMessage):
pos {"type":"pos","src":"DL1AAA-1","lat":51.05,"lat_dir":"N","long":9.55,"long_dir":"E","rssi":-108,"snr":-4.0}
msg {"type":"msg","src":"DL2BBB-2","dst":"*","msg":"Hello","rssi":-95,"snr":6.5}
tele {"type":"tele","src":"DL1AAA-1","temp1":21.5,"hum":60,"qnh":1013.2}
- Relayed packet: comma path in
src → "src":"ORIGIN-1,RELAY-12" (index 0 = origin).
- Own position:
pos with src == Meshcom:MyCallsign (appsettings: DH1FR-2).
alt is in feet (APRS convention), converted to metres.- A
msg (not pos/tele) without relay path sets DirectLinkConfirmed → direct map line.
lat:0, lon:0 = no GPS fix (ignored).
Drive the UI
Playwright (chromium) against http://127.0.0.1:5162. Useful hooks on /map:
window.meshcomMap.jumpToCallsign('DL1AAA-1') — opens a marker popup (search path);
clicking marker labels directly fails (pointer-events: none on .aprs-wrap).- Relay segments:
document.querySelectorAll('.leaflet-overlay-pane path')
(each segment = halo + coloured line, so 2 paths per segment).
- Direction arrows:
.relay-arrow; marker dots/labels: .aprs-dot / .aprs-label.
- Wait ~4 s after load: Blazor circuit + 400 ms marker debounce.
Gotcha: the map page is @rendermode InteractiveServer — a plain HTTP GET only
proves routing; JS behaviour needs the browser.
