  • Adds jumpstarter-driver-netsim — a new driver for controlling Android netsim virtual radios (Bluetooth Classic, BLE, WiFi, UWB) via the netsim REST API
  • Exposes device listing, radio toggle, raw patching, device reset, and pcap capture management (start/stop/download)
  • Includes full CLI via Click with subcommands: devices, device, radio, patch, reset, capture {list,start,stop,get}, status
  • Capture toggle uses netsim CLI binary as workaround for broken REST PATCH in netsim ≤0.3.100

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Netsim driver package for virtual radio control through the Netsim HTTP API and CLI. The change includes driver and client APIs, CLI commands, tests, package integration, exporter configuration, and documentation.

Changes

Netsim driver

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package registration and exporter wiring
python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/pyproject.toml, python/pyproject.toml, python/packages/jumpstarter-all/pyproject.toml, python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/examples/exporter.yaml, docs/source/reference/package-apis/drivers/*
Adds package metadata, driver registration, workspace integration, dependency inclusion, exporter configuration, test configuration, and documentation registration.
Netsim driver HTTP and capture operations
python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/driver.py
Implements validated device, radio, capture, reset, and status operations through HTTP and the Netsim CLI.
Client API and CLI commands
python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/client.py
Adds NetsimClient, response parsing, Click commands, capture downloads, and status output.
Driver, client, and live validation
python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/*_test.py, python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/conftest.py
Tests driver operations, client operations, CLI behavior, error handling, capture workflows, and live Netsim integration.
Netsim usage documentation
python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/README.md
Documents setup, configuration, CLI and Python usage, architecture, supported radios, reset behavior, and API references.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 38e10

Pcap downloads currently buffer the complete capture in both the exporter and client, so large captures may increase memory use and potentially fail; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to stream the data.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with radios, quick and bright,
Netsim devices hop through virtual light.
Captures start and stop on command,
Tests guard each path across the land.
The new driver joins the stack—
With docs and signals in its pack!

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5

Inline comments:
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/driver.py`:
- Around line 75-79: Reject unsupported state values instead of treating them as
disabled: add shared validation for explicit enabled and disabled aliases,
raising NetsimError for anything else, and reuse it in set_radio and the
capture-setting method. Update driver_test.py at lines 58-64 and 150-154 to
cover invalid radio and capture states.
- Around line 66-72: Encode device_name and chip_id with safe="" before
constructing Netsim URL paths, applying the encoded values across patch_device
and the related device/chip request methods in driver.py (66-72, 75-79, 82-85,
88-91, and 103-105). Add regression coverage in driver_test.py (46-50) using a
device name requiring escaping, and verify the request target preserves it as
one path segment.

In `@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/README.md`:
- Line 4: Update the first “Android netsim” link so its target references
Netsim-specific REST API documentation; if that documentation is not
appropriate, relabel the anchor to accurately describe the existing Cuttlefish
environment-control destination.
- Around line 19-20: Update the prerequisites in the README to document the
netsim radio flags required by the examples: include --netsim=true or explicitly
list the separate WiFi, Bluetooth, and UWB flags supported by the target
Cuttlefish version, while retaining the REST API requirement.

In `@python/pyproject.toml`:
- Line 27: Reorder the Netsim registration alphabetically in both manifests: in
python/pyproject.toml lines 27-27, place jumpstarter-driver-netsim before
jumpstarter-driver-network in [tool.uv.sources]; in
python/packages/jumpstarter-all/pyproject.toml lines 26-26, place
"jumpstarter-driver-netsim" before "jumpstarter-driver-network" in the
dependency list.

In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/driver_live_test.py`:
- Around line 93-106: Update test_ble_off_stops_rx so BLE is restored to "on" in
a finally block after it is disabled, covering assertions and polling timeouts
while preserving the existing test checks.
- Around line 3-4: Move pytest_addoption registration for --live-netsim-host and
--live-netsim-port from driver_live_test.py into the package conftest.py so
pytest recognizes the options during startup. Update the README’s live-test
command to use the supported make test-jumpstarter-driver-netsim entry point
with both options.

In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/jumpstarter_driver_netsim/driver.py`:
- Around line 125-132: Update the subprocess call in the capture toggle methods
to catch subprocess.TimeoutExpired and OSError, translating both into
NetsimError while preserving the existing nonzero-return handling. Add coverage
for CLI timeout and launch failures, including an invalid netsim_cli.

In `@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-netsim/README.md`:
- Around line 96-108: Remove the undocumented move, create, and delete-chip
examples from the Netsim README unless the client implements them. If retaining
them, add and test matching NetsimClient methods, including move_device, and
corresponding NetsimClient.cli() handlers so each documented command works.

I think this looks good, but I do wonder if it would be better to actually tunnel the HTTP API over Jumpstarter? I think there are pros/cons of each approach. The main I pro I see with this current approach is that we can make the client thin and keep all heavy operations on the exporter side which is nice, but it does increase complexity as well.
