Replace std::vector<uint8_t> with std::array on the stack for the receive buffer and std::span<const uint8_t> for packet listener callbacks. This eliminates a 508-byte heap allocation on every loop() iteration, reducing heap fragmentation on long-running devices. The callback signature changes from std::vector<uint8_t>& to std::span<const uint8_t>, which preserves API compatibility for user lambdas using data.size(), data.data(), data[i], and range-for. The trigger/automation type remains std::vector<uint8_t> so that deferred actions (e.g. delay) safely own their data. The listener lambda converts span to vector at the trigger boundary. PacketTransport::process_() now takes std::span<const uint8_t> directly, with implicit conversion from std::vector for other transports.
Tests for ESPHome
This directory contains some tests for ESPHome.
At the moment, all the tests only work by simply executing
esphome over some YAML files that are made to test
whether the yaml gets converted to the proper C++ code.
Of course this is all just very high-level and things like unit tests would be much better. So if you have time and know how to set up a unit testing framework for python, please do give it a try.
When adding entries in test_.yaml files we usually need only
one file updated, unless conflicting code is generated for
different configurations, e.g. wifi and ethernet cannot
be tested on the same device.
