The WebSocketMessage struct was causing a lint error due to invalid xml:",any" tag.
Investigation revealed this struct was unused in actual WebSocket parsing - the
ParseWebSocketEvent() function works directly with WebSocketEvent struct.
Changes:
- Removed unused WebSocketMessage struct and its GetEventType() method
- Removed corresponding tests
- WebSocket functionality verified working (all tests pass)
- Actual parsing uses WebSocketEvent which has proper XML tags
This resolves the SA5008 lint warning while maintaining full WebSocket functionality.
Major additions:
- Fixed WebSocketMessage XMLName struct tag issue
- Implemented remaining official API endpoints:
* POST /name (SetName) - Set device name
* GET /bassCapabilities (GetBassCapabilities) - Check bass support
* GET /trackInfo (GetTrackInfo) - Track information (duplicate of now_playing)
New features:
- BassCapabilities model with validation and helper methods
- SetName method for device naming
- GetTrackInfo method for track information
- Full CLI support for all new endpoints
- Comprehensive test coverage (503 lines of tests)
Testing results:
- All unit tests pass ✅
- bassCapabilities works on SoundTouch 10 ✅
- trackInfo may not be supported on all models (timeout on SoundTouch 10)
- SetName not tested on real hardware (to avoid changing device name)
