Test device doesn't show with discover or whois

[vakker]

If I create a test device (similarly to how it's done in conftest.py:

import BAC0

bacnet = BAC0.lite()

device_app = BAC0.lite(port=47809, deviceId=101)

ip = device_app.localIPAddr.addrTuple[0]
boid = device_app.Boid

test_device = BAC0.device(f"{ip}:47809", boid, bacnet, poll=10)

print(bacnet.discover(networks='known'))
print(bacnet.whois())

Then it prints the physical devices that I have connected to the network, but not the virtual one. Is this intended?

Yes. Because whois use broadcast on port 47808 by default. And the other device is on port 47809 (because there would be a port clash...) If you want to test whois, you could use two interfaces orc configure 2 IP in your NIC.

@ChristianTremblay great, thanks!
