S7 integration-test fixture — python-snap7 (Docker)
python-snap7 Server class
wrapped in a pinned python:3.12-slim-bookworm image. Docker is the
primary launcher; the native-Python fallback under
../PythonSnap7/ is kept for contributors who prefer
to avoid Docker locally.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
Dockerfile |
python:3.12-slim-bookworm + python-snap7>=2.0 + the server shim + the profile JSONs |
docker-compose.yml |
One service per profile; currently only s7_1500 |
server.py |
Same Python shim the native fallback uses — copy kept in the build context |
profiles/*.json |
Area-seed definitions (DB1 / MB layouts with typed seeds) |
Run
From the repo root:
docker compose -f tests\ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.S7.IntegrationTests\Docker\docker-compose.yml --profile s7_1500 up
Detached + stop:
docker compose -f tests\...\Docker\docker-compose.yml --profile s7_1500 up -d
docker compose -f tests\...\Docker\docker-compose.yml --profile s7_1500 down
Endpoint
- Default:
localhost:1102(non-privileged; sidesteps Windows Firewall prompt + Linux's root-required bind on port 102). - Override with
S7_SIM_ENDPOINTto point at a real S7 CPU on:102. - The driver's S7DriverOptions.Port flows through S7netplus's 5-arg
Plc(CpuType, host, port, rack, slot)ctor so the non-standard port works end-to-end.
Run the integration tests
In a separate shell with the container up:
cd C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\lmxopcua
dotnet test tests\ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.S7.IntegrationTests
Snap7ServerFixture probes localhost:1102 at collection init + records
a SkipReason when unreachable, so tests stay green on a fresh clone
without Docker running.
What's encoded in profiles/s7_1500.json
DB1 (1024 bytes) + MB (256 bytes) with typed seeds at known offsets:

Seed types supported: u8, i8, u16, i16, u32, i32, f32,
bool (with "bit": 0..7), ascii (S7 STRING).
Known limitations
From the snap7.server.Server docstring upstream:
"Legacy S7 server implementation. Emulates a Siemens S7 PLC for testing and development purposes. [...] pure Python emulator implementation that simulates PLC behaviour for protocol compliance testing rather than full industrial-grade functionality."
Not exercised here — needs a lab rig:
- S7-1500 Optimized-DB symbolic access
- PG / OP / S7-Basic session-type differentiation
- PUT/GET-disabled-by-default enforcement
See docs/drivers/S7-Test-Fixture.md
for the full coverage map.
Native-Python fallback
../PythonSnap7/ has the same server.py + profile
JSON launched via local Python install (pip install python-snap7).
Kept for contributors who prefer native.
