Description
The AFP testsuite contains several utilities aimed at testing AFP servers. They’re broadly divided into
conformance tests, benchmarking, and helpers.
Most of the tools in the afptest family follow the same general usage pattern and parameters. You set the
AFP protocol revision (-1 through -7), then the address and credentials of the host to test (which can be
localhost). Some tests require a second user and second volume to be define. Yet another set of tests
must be run from localhost, and the local path to the volume under test to be provided. Single tests or
test sections can be executed with the -f option. Available tests can be listed with the -l option.
Please refer to the helptext of each tool for the precise use of each option.
Return codes
Each test within a testsuite returns one of the following return codes:
• 0 PASSED
• 1 FAILED
• 2 NOT TESTED - a test setup step or precondition check failed
• 3 SKIPPED - unmet requirements for testing
Note that a NOT TESTED result is treated as a failure of the entire test run, but SKIPPED is not.
The spectest and logintest shall return the same results whether they are run against a Mac AFP server or
Netatalk.
Conformance tests
afp_spectest makes up the core of the AFP specification test suite, with several hundred test cases. It
is organized into testsets, divided by the AFP commands tested, or by preconditions for testing. For
instance, the tier 2 (T2) tests need to be run on the host with the -c option indicating the path to the
shared volume. There are also read-only and sleep tests that need to be run separately.
afp_logintest is a testsuite for DSI sessions and authentication.
Benchmarking
afp_lantest is a file transfer benchmarking tool for AFP servers, inspired by HELIOS LanTest, which runs
a batch of varied file transfer patterns.
The afp_speedtest is a benchmark testsuite for read, write and copy operations. It can be run using
either AFP commands or POSIX syscalls, in order to test netatalk speeds against other file transfer
protocols.
Helpers
afparg is an interactive AFP client that takes an AFP command with optional arguments. This can be used
for troubleshooting or system administration. Run afparg -l to list available commands.
fce_listen is a simple listener for Netatalk’s Filesystem Change Event (FCE) protocol. It will print out
any UDP datagrams received from the AFP server.
Testing a Mac AFP server
This suite of tools were designed primarily to test Netatalk AFP servers, however they can also be used
to test a native Mac OS AFP server hosted by an older Mac OS X or Classic Mac OS system.
Launch the test runner with the -m option when testing a Mac AFP server. When running in Mac mode, the
test runner will report tests with known current or historical differences between Mac and Netatalk.
If Mac and Netatalk differ, or if Mac results differ between versions:
header.dsi_code -5000 AFPERR_ACCESS
MAC RESULT: -5019 AFPERR_PARAM -5010 AFPERR_BUSY
Netatalk returns AFPERR_ACCESS when a Mac return AFPERR_PARAM or AFPERR_BUSY
When Mac and Netatalk previously returned different results but now behave the same way:
Warning MAC and Netatalk now same RESULT!
Examples
Configure environment
Below is a sample configuration for running the APF spec tests.
• 2 users: user1, user2 with the same password
• 1 group: afpusers
• user1, user2 assigned to afpusers group
• clear text UAM + guest UAM
Arrange two empty directories. Some tests will fail if there are residual files in the test directories.
drwxrwsr-x 5 user1 afpusers 176 avr 27 23:56 /tmp/afptest1
drwxrwsr-x 5 user1 afpusers 176 avr 27 23:56 /tmp/afptest2
Set afp.conf as follows:
[Global]
uam list = uams_clrtxt.so uams_guest.so
[testvol1]
ea = sys
path = /tmp/afptest1
valid users = @afpusers
volume name = testvol1
[testvol2]
ea = sys
path = /tmp/afptest2
valid users = @afpusers
volume name = testvol2
Running tests
Run the afp_spectest for the “FPSetForkParms_test” testset with AFP 3.4.
% afp_spectest -h 127.0.0.1 -p 548 -u user1 -d user2 -w passwd -s testvol1 -S testvol2 -c /srv/afptest1 -7 -f FPSetForkParms_test
===================
FPSetForkParms_test
-------------------
FPSetForkParms:test62: SetForkParams errors - PASSED
FPSetForkParms:test141: Setforkmode error - PASSED
FPSetForkParms:test217: Setfork size 64 bits - PASSED
FPSetForkParms:test306: set fork size, new size > old size - PASSED
Run the afp_lantest benchmark using AFP 3.0.
% afp_lantest -h 192.168.0.2 -s testvol1 -u user1 -w passwd -3
