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
cmake --build . --target afp_temp_dir_handle_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 Get Entry ID From Name

afp_entry_id_smoke can also exercise the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP request:

NCP 0x2222/35/04  AFP Get Entry ID From Name

Use --from-name to select this subfunction. The current mars_nwe implementation supports the same verified path-backed smoke mode as AFP Get Entry ID From Path Name: pass a raw SYS:-style path with directory handle 0 and base Entry ID 0.

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

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

A successful reply prints the same 32-bit AFP Entry ID format as the path-name probe. Server-side diagnostics currently mark stat-derived temporary IDs with fallback; real base-entry-id-relative lookup still depends on persistent CNID/AppleDouble mapping.

AFP Get Entry ID From NetWare Handle

afp_entry_id_smoke can also exercise the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP request:

NCP 0x2222/35/06  AFP Get Entry ID From NetWare Handle

Use --from-handle to select this subfunction. The smoke test opens the requested file through libncp in the same connection, passes the returned 6-byte NetWare file handle to the AFP request, and closes the file after the AFP reply. This is important because NetWare file handles are connection-local: --dir-handle N and file-handle values copied from server logs or unrelated helper processes are not stable inputs for this request.

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

./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke --from-handle -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC/pmdflts.ini
./tests/linux/afp_entry_id_smoke --from-handle -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC/ohlogscr.bat

Successful replies print the resolved volume number, 32-bit AFP Entry ID, and fork indicator. The current implementation reports the data fork (fork=0) and server diagnostics mark the returned Entry ID as fallback when it is derived from Unix stat(2) data rather than persistent CNID, AppleDouble, or libatalk metadata:

AFP Entry ID From NetWare Handle path=SYS:PUBLIC/pmdflts.ini volume=0 entry_id=0x23c8787d (600340605) fork=0
AFP Entry ID From NetWare Handle path=SYS:PUBLIC/ohlogscr.bat volume=0 entry_id=0x260437f6 (637810678) fork=0

AFP Get Entry ID From NetWare Handle: handle=1 volume=0 unix='/var/mars_nwe/SYS/public/pmdflts.ini' entry=0x23c8787d fallback
AFP Get Entry ID From NetWare Handle: handle=1 volume=0 unix='/var/mars_nwe/SYS/public/ohlogscr.bat' entry=0x260437f6 fallback

The concrete fallback Entry IDs vary with filesystem metadata. Persistent CNID/AppleDouble/libatalk-backed identity, parent Entry ID derivation, and AFP resource-fork handle semantics remain future Mac-namespace work; the current smoke coverage only verifies the conservative read-only data-fork mapping.

AFP Alloc Temporary Directory Handle smoke test

afp_temp_dir_handle_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP request:

NCP 0x2222/35/11  AFP Alloc Temporary Directory Handle

The request layout is the AFP volume number, base AFP Entry ID, path length, and AFP-style path. The current mars_nwe implementation supports the same conservative path-backed subset as the Entry ID and File Information probes: pass a raw SYS:-style path and keep volume/base Entry ID at zero. Pure Entry-ID-relative allocation is still rejected with Invalid Path until persistent CNID/base-ID lookup exists.

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

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

A successful reply prints the allocated temporary NetWare directory handle and the effective-rights mask returned by the server. The smoke helper immediately deallocates the handle with the normal NetWare Deallocate Directory Handle call before closing the connection, so the handle value is only useful inside that client connection and must not be copied into later tests or server logs.

Runtime-verified output and server diagnostic shape:

AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle path=SYS: dir_handle=2 rights=0xff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle path=SYS:PUBLIC dir_handle=2 rights=0xff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle path=SYS:SYSTEM dir_handle=2 rights=0xff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle path=SYS:BURST dir_handle=2 rights=0xff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle: vol=0 entry=0x00000000 path='SYS:' dir_handle=2 rights=0x1ff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle: vol=0 entry=0x00000000 path='SYS:PUBLIC' dir_handle=2 rights=0x1ff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle: vol=0 entry=0x00000000 path='SYS:SYSTEM' dir_handle=2 rights=0x1ff
AFP Alloc Temporary Dir Handle: vol=0 entry=0x00000000 path='SYS:BURST' dir_handle=2 rights=0x1ff

The AFP reply carries the one-byte access-rights field consumed by the smoke helper, so the client prints 0xff. The server diagnostic logs the internal NetWare effective-rights mask before that AFP reply narrowing, so a fully privileged directory can appear as 0x1ff in mars_nwe.log.

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 Open File Fork smoke test

afp_open_file_fork_smoke sends the WebSDK-documented NetWare AFP open fork request:

NCP 0x2222/35/08  AFP Open File Fork

The first mars_nwe implementation is deliberately conservative. It supports raw SYS:-style path requests with volume/base Entry ID zero, opens only the AFP data fork, and only for read access. On success the server returns the normal six-byte NetWare file handle shape used by AFP handle APIs plus the current data-fork length. The smoke helper immediately closes the returned NetWare file handle in the same connection.

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

./tests/linux/afp_open_file_fork_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC/pmdflts.ini
./tests/linux/afp_open_file_fork_smoke -S MARS -U SUPERVISOR -P secret SYS:PUBLIC/ohlogscr.bat

A successful reply prints the returned NetWare handle, the requested fork, the read access mode, and the data-fork length. A verified runtime smoke run against the standard DOS utility files produced:

AFP Open File Fork path=SYS:PUBLIC/pmdflts.ini handle=1 fork=0 access=0x01 fork_len=8161
AFP Open File Fork path=SYS:PUBLIC/ohlogscr.bat handle=1 fork=0 access=0x01 fork_len=1296

The matching server log records the path-backed open and the same data-fork lengths:

AFP Open File Fork: vol=0 entry=0x00000000 fork=0 access=0x01 path='SYS:PUBLIC/pmdflts.ini' handle=1 fork_len=8161
AFP Open File Fork: vol=0 entry=0x00000000 fork=0 access=0x01 path='SYS:PUBLIC/ohlogscr.bat' handle=1 fork_len=1296

The exact handle number is connection-local and must not be reused across processes. The exact fork_len depends on the backing file contents. Resource fork opens (--fork 1), write access (--access 2), and Entry-ID-only open remain negative/TODO coverage until persistent CNID/base-ID lookup and AppleDouble resource-fork semantics are available.

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, resource-fork, or Entry-ID-only negative tests.

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.
