The code compiles using the examples using spm and MacOS X

[TyrfingMjolnir]

swift build && ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx10.10/debug/PerfectTemplate

I have tried just about all the examples on the page, however all of them behave exactly the same as typing: echo -n and hitting enter in the terminal. I know FileMaker is set up correctly as I can use both curl and FX.php against the FileMaker server.

$ cat Sources/PerfectTemplate/main.swift
import PerfectHTTP
import PerfectHTTPServer
import PerfectSMTP
import PerfectFileMaker

let fms = FileMakerServer( host: "127.0.0.1", port: 8180, userName: "username", password: "password" )

print( fms )

fms.layoutInfo( database: "db", layout: "layout {
	result in
	guard let layoutInfo = try? result() else {
                print( "No result" )
		return // error
	}
	let fieldsByName = layoutInfo.fieldsByName
	for ( name, value ) in fieldsByName {
		print( "Field \( name ) = \( value )" )
	}
}

Building and running the code:

     ]
   )
	]
)

also tried to set up netcat to no avail

let fms = FileMakerServer( host: "127.0.0.1", port: 8180, userName: "username", password: "password" )

And listening as below:

nc -l -p 8180

No output.

If there was errors I could correct myself, when there is apathy I'm having a hard time.

Sometimes when I think a bit and read the actual code; opposed to copy / paste and expect it to work, I understand the examples are incomplete; adding

let a = fms
print( a )

executes; still does not give any reply from FileMaker 16 Server, works fine with netcat however.

I wrote this short note to give you a quick start

Trying again on another server and workstation; this is the query generated by PerfectFilerMaker, exposed by netcat:

$ nc -l 8081
POST /fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8081
Authorization: Basic d2ViOndlYg==

Hello - Performing any action with Perfect-FileMaker is an asynchronous activity. The way your main.swift looks structured there, the process will launch, issue the request and then run off the end end exit; so the "result" callback will never be called.

To experiment and see if this is indeed the cause, put a sleep at the end. Like so:

You should then see the expected request output.
