FitNesse.Slim Table Table Tutorial and a few minor features 27

Posted by Brett Schuchert Sun, 19 Apr 2009 04:45:00 GMT

Finally, the last in the table series is ready for prime time: http://schuchert.wikispaces.com/FitNesse.Tutorials.TableTables.

So what’s next? What do you want to see in additional tutorials?
  • New FitNesse.Slim features
  • Acceptance Test Staging
  • ...
During this past week I added a few things into FitNesse (very small things compared to what others are doing). When the next release happens (or if you build from source):
  • If you create a page whose name ends in “Examples”, FitNesse will set its type to Suite.
  • If you create a page whose begins with or ends with “Example” (in addition to “Test”), FitNesse will set its type to Test.
  • The SetUp and TearDown links are back. They add a SetUp or TearDown page as a child of the page you are currently viewing. So if you wanted to add a SetUp/TearDown for a suite, go to the suite page and click SetUp or TearDown.
  • By default, when you build from source, ant starts FitNesse on port 8080 to run acceptance tests. This can be a problem if you, like me, typically keep FitNesse running on port 8080. You can set an environment variable, FITNESSE_TEST_PORT, and the ant build.xml will pick up that environment variable and use the port specified instead.

Enjoy!
