# GeViServer API - Testing Guide

**Status:** ✅ Implementation Complete
**Date:** 2026-01-12

---

## What Was Implemented

### ✅ Backend (Python/FastAPI)

1. **GeViServer Service** (`src/api/services/geviserver_service.py`)
   - Python wrapper around GeViProcAPI.dll using ctypes
   - Connection management (connect, disconnect, ping)
   - Message sending to GeViServer
   - Error handling with detailed messages

2. **FastAPI Router** (`src/api/routers/geviserver.py`)
   - 14 REST endpoints for GeViServer operations
   - Full Swagger documentation
   - Request/response models with examples

3. **Registered in main.py**
   - Router accessible at `/api/v1/geviserver/*`

### ✅ Frontend (Flutter/Dart)

1. **API Constants** (`lib/core/constants/api_constants.dart`)
   - All GeViServer endpoint constants added

2. **Remote Data Source** (`lib/data/data_sources/remote/geviserver_remote_data_source.dart`)
   - Flutter wrapper for all GeViServer endpoints
   - Uses existing DioClient
   - Type-safe method signatures

---

## Testing Steps

### Step 1: Start GeViServer

```bash
# Open Command Prompt
cd C:\GEVISOFT
geviserver.exe console
```

**Expected Output:**
```
GeViServer starting...
Server ready and listening...
```

**Keep this window open!**

---

### Step 2: Start Backend API

```bash
# Open new Command Prompt
cd C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api
python -m uvicorn src.api.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

**Expected Output:**
```
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000
INFO:     Application startup complete
```

**Logs should show:**
- ✅ Redis connected (or warning if not available)
- ✅ SDK Bridge connected (or warning if not available)
- ✅ Startup complete

---

### Step 3: Open Swagger UI

**URL:** `http://localhost:8000/docs`

**You should see new section:**
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue 1: GeViProcAPI.dll Not Found

**Error:**
```json
{
  "detail": "Failed to load GeViProcAPI.dll: [WinError 126]"
}
```

**Solution:**
```bash
# Copy DLL to Python directory or add to PATH
copy C:\GEVISOFT\GeViProcAPI.dll C:\Windows\System32\
```

Or update `dll_path` in `geviserver_service.py`

---

### Issue 2: Connection Failed - Unknown User

**Error:**
```json
{
  "detail": "Connection failed: connectRemoteUnknownUser"
}
```

**Solutions:**
1. Check GeViServer is running (`geviserver.exe console`)
2. Verify credentials (default: admin/admin)
3. Check GeViServer configuration

---

### Issue 3: Not Connected

**Error:**
```json
{
  "detail": "Not connected to GeViServer"
}
```

**Solution:**
- Call `POST /geviserver/connect` first
- Check `GET /geviserver/status` to verify connection

---

### Issue 4: Import Error

**Error:**
```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'routers.geviserver'
```

**Solution:**
- Restart uvicorn server
- Check file is saved in correct location
- Verify no syntax errors in geviserver.py

---

## Testing from Flutter App

### Using DioClient Directly

```dart
import 'package:geutebruck_app/data/data_sources/remote/geviserver_remote_data_source.dart';
import 'package:geutebruck_app/core/network/dio_client.dart';

// Get data source
final dioClient = getIt<DioClient>();
final dataSource = GeViServerRemoteDataSource(dioClient: dioClient);

// Connect
final connectResult = await dataSource.connect(
  address: 'localhost',
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'admin',
);

print('Connected: ${connectResult['success']}');

// Cross-switch video
final switchResult = await dataSource.crossSwitch(
  videoInput: 7,
  videoOutput: 3,
  switchMode: 0,
);

print('Switched: ${switchResult['success']}');

// Disconnect
await dataSource.disconnect();
```

---

## Next Steps

Once basic testing passes:

1. **Create Repository Layer** (`lib/data/repositories/geviserver_repository.dart`)
2. **Create Use Cases** (`lib/domain/usecases/connect_to_geviserver.dart`)
3. **Create BLoC** (`lib/presentation/blocs/geviserver_connection/`)
4. **Create UI Screens** (`lib/presentation/screens/geviserver/`)
5. **Integrate with Action Mappings** - Execute configured actions
6. **Add State Queries** - Enumerate video inputs/outputs
7. **Add Event Handling** - Listen for GeViServer notifications
