Linux NCP smoke tests

This directory contains optional Linux-side integration tests for endpoints that are easier to exercise from a Unix host than from the DOS test utilities.

The tests use the ncpfs/libncp client library. They are not built by default because they require the host ncpfs development headers/library and a running NetWare-compatible server.

Build with:

cmake -DMARS_NWE_BUILD_LINUX_TESTS=ON ...
cmake --build . --target afp_entry_id_smoke
cmake --build . --target afp_file_info_smoke
cmake --build . --target afp_scan_info_smoke

AFP Entry ID smoke test

afp_entry_id_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP request:

NCP 0x2222/35/12  AFP Get Entry ID From Path Name

It uses libncp's NWRequestSimple() path, so it goes through the same client transport stack as other Linux ncpfs utilities.

Example:

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC

The test accepts NetWare-style VOL:PATH arguments. By default it sends the supplied SYS:-style path directly with directory handle 0, matching the verified mars_nwe smoke-test path. --alloc-handle is available only for follow-up debugging of the separate directory-handle allocation path, and --dir-handle N expects a handle that is valid in the current connection.

Useful smoke cases for a standard MARS-NWE SYS volume are:

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:SYSTEM
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:BURST

A successful reply prints the request path, directory handle, and returned 32-bit AFP Entry ID. Server-side diagnostics currently mark stat-derived temporary IDs with fallback; that means the endpoint is reachable, but persistent CNID/AppleDouble entry-id storage is still future Mac-namespace work.

If the server was built without the optional Netatalk/libatalk backend, the endpoint is expected to return invalid namespace. To treat that as a successful negative smoke test, use:

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke --allow-invalid-namespace -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC

For path-resolution negative tests, use --allow-invalid-path to accept the expected 0x9c Invalid Path completion.

AFP File Information smoke test

afp_file_info_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP file information requests:

NCP 0x2222/35/05  AFP Get File Information
NCP 0x2222/35/15  AFP 2.0 Get File Information

It uses the same libncp NWRequestSimple() transport path as the Entry ID smoke test and sends raw SYS:-style path requests with directory handle 0. The server replies with the read-only AFP file information record currently implemented by mars_nwe: Entry ID, Parent ID, attributes, data/resource fork lengths, offspring count, fixed long/short names, and access rights.

Useful smoke cases for a standard MARS-NWE SYS volume are:

./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:SYSTEM
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:BURST

# AFP 2.0 variant using the same path-backed read-only reply
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke --afp20 -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke --afp20 -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke --afp20 -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:SYSTEM
./tests/linux/afp_file_info_smoke --afp20 -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:BURST

The AFP 2.0 mode is selected with --afp20. It has been verified against the same SYS:, SYS:PUBLIC, SYS:SYSTEM, and SYS:BURST paths and currently exercises the same path-backed read-only reply as the older call. The current implementation fills fields that can be derived from Unix stat(2) and the optional libatalk helper wrappers. Server-side diagnostics mark stat-derived temporary Entry IDs with fallback; Parent ID, persistent CNID/AppleDouble IDs, and fuller Finder Info/resource-fork semantics remain future Mac-namespace work.

If the server was built without the optional Netatalk/libatalk backend, use --allow-invalid-namespace for the expected negative test. Use --allow-invalid-path for path-resolution negative tests.

AFP Scan File Information smoke test

afp_scan_info_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP scan request:

NCP 0x2222/35/17  AFP 2.0 Scan File Information

It scans one directory entry per request using the same read-only AFP file information record as afp_file_info_smoke. The test sends raw SYS:-style path requests with directory handle 0 and uses the returned next_last_seen AFP Entry ID as the continuation token for the next call.

Useful smoke sequence for a standard MARS-NWE SYS:PUBLIC directory:

./tests/linux/afp_scan_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_scan_info_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret --last-seen 0x23c8787d SYS:PUBLIC
./tests/linux/afp_scan_info_smoke --allow-empty -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret --last-seen 0x260437f6 SYS:PUBLIC

The concrete Entry IDs vary by filesystem metadata and are currently marked as fallback in server diagnostics when they are derived from stat(2) rather than persistent CNID/AppleDouble metadata. The verified smoke path walks multiple entries in SYS:PUBLIC by feeding each returned next_last_seen value into the next request.

If the server was built without the optional Netatalk/libatalk backend, use --allow-invalid-namespace for the expected negative test. Use --allow-invalid-path for path-resolution negative tests, and --allow-empty when a scan continuation is expected to reach the end of the directory.
