Add SAE J1939 vehicle network protocol support

[Copilot]

• Prior work (TP tests, interop vcan tests, flake8 fixes, codespell fixes, etc.)
• Fix failing tests 087 and 088 (EPERM on sendto() in CI):
  • Root cause: sender sockets were created with default promisc=True, which sets SO_J1939_PROMISC=1. The Linux kernel rejects sendto() on promiscuous J1939 sockets with EPERM (promiscuous = receive-only).
  • Fix: pass promisc=False to sender sockets in tests 087 and 088; only receiver sockets need promiscuous mode.
  • Also fix: J1939_NO_PGN fallback value in j1939.py was 0x40000 — corrected to 0x40000000 (matches Linux linux/can/j1939.h).
  • Also fix: replaced _socket.J1939_NO_PGN (unavailable on Python < 3.9) with module-level J1939_NO_PGN constant.

proper type the field

Can the ThreeByteField be used?

[polybassa]

or XThreeByteField

[Copilot]

Replaced J1939LEPGNField with the built-in XLE3BytesField (commit 0669a54). The custom class was a duplicate of XLE3BytesField — both encode a 3-byte little-endian value and display it in hex — so the entire class and the Field import are now removed.

in python 3.7 this is unknown.

check at which python version this socket.CAN_J1939 is defined and provide it for older versions.

[Copilot]

Fixed in commit 3c1a7c7. All J1939 socket constants (CAN_J1939, J1939_*, SO_J1939_*, SCM_J1939_*) were added to CPython in 3.9. They are now all defined using getattr(socket, 'NAME', fallback) with the kernel-defined integer fallbacks from linux/can/j1939.h, so the module loads cleanly on Python 3.7/3.8. NativeJ1939Socket was updated to use the module-level constants instead of socket.* attributes.

create more unit test for this communication commands.

Also create interoperability unit tests, where a J1939 Socket send data do a NativeCanSocket and vice versa, so that the interoperability of long messages is given.

[Copilot]

Done in commit 1c7bf4e.

Extended TP unit tests (13 new non-vcan tests, section "TP Communication Commands – extended unit tests"):

• J1939_TP_CM_RTS: default field values (ctrl=16, max_packets=0xFF, 8-byte wire size), PGN little-endian encoding, max_packets round-trip
• J1939_TP_CM_CTS: reserved bytes 0xFFFF, next_packet round-trip
• J1939_TP_CM_ACK: reserved byte 0xFF, 8-byte wire size
• J1939_TP_CM_ABORT: reserved byte defaults, all 14 defined reason codes
• J1939_TP_DT: default 0xFF padding, 3-packet session reassembly
• J1939_TP_CM.dispatch_hook: empty bytes, None, unknown ctrl bytes
• Complete BAM exact wire bytes, RTS/CTS/ACK handshake wire bytes

Interop vcan tests (2 new vcan_socket needs_root tests):

• NativeJ1939Socket sends a 20-byte payload → NativeCANSocket collects 4 raw CAN frames, verifies TP.CM BAM structure and TP.DT sequence/payload
• NativeCANSocket sends manually-crafted TP.CM BAM + 3× TP.DT CAN frames → NativeJ1939Socket receives the kernel-reassembled message and verifies payload/PGN/SA

All 84 non-vcan tests pass.

fix the failing unit tests

Fixed in commit 7ec77bd. The CI failures were all flake8 violations introduced with the previous commit:

• E501 in j1939_spn_db.py / j1939_pgn_db.py — added both files to per-file-ignores in tox.ini (same pattern as manuf.py / volkswagen/definitions.py; the long lines are unavoidable for inline data entries)
• F401 unused imports in j1939_utils.py — removed Tuple, J1939, J1939_NO_ADDR, J1939_PGN_ADDRESS_CLAIMED, J1939_PGN_REQUEST, spns_for_pgn, Packet
• E241/E231 spacing in the NAME decode dict in j1939_utils.py — removed the manual alignment padding
• E501 long comment/docstring lines in j1939.py and j1939_utils.py — wrapped to ≤ 88 chars
• F401 unused warning import in j1939.py — removed

flake8 scapy/ now exits 0 and all 136 tests still pass.

@copilot Fix the failing unit tests

Fixed in commit d56c2cf. Two root causes were addressed:

1. codespell failures in j1939_spn_db.py: added bund (containment wall — legitimate J1939 term) and gage (SAE engineering spelling of gauge) to the codespell ignore list; fixed Dependant → Dependent.

2. vcan tests 087/088: the senders were bound with src_addr=0x00/0x0A. The Linux kernel J1939 stack returns EADDRNOTAVAIL for unicast source addresses that haven't gone through address claiming — the send() was silently returning 0. Changed both senders to J1939_IDLE_ADDR (0xFE), which the kernel always permits without prior claiming. Updated the test 087 SA assertion accordingly.

@copilot two tests still fail with permission denied errors. Maybe only execute those tests with the tag "needs_root"

@copilot two tests still fail with permission denied errors. Maybe only execute those tests with the tag "needs_root"

Fixed in commit de9368d.

Root cause: both sender sockets were created with the default promisc=True, which calls setsockopt(SOL_CAN_J1939, SO_J1939_PROMISC, 1). The Linux kernel treats a promiscuous J1939 socket as receive-only and rejects sendto() with EPERM. The receiver sockets correctly keep promisc=True.

Two additional fixes in the same commit:

• J1939_NO_PGN fallback value corrected from 0x40000 → 0x40000000 (matching linux/can/j1939.h)
• Test now uses the module-level J1939_NO_PGN constant instead of _socket.J1939_NO_PGN (not available on Python < 3.9)
