Comments on: How to test AJAX sites with FitNesse and Selenium RC http://gojko.net/2008/02/14/ajax-selenium-fitnesse/ Building software that matters Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:12:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dimitre http://gojko.net/2008/02/14/ajax-selenium-fitnesse/comment-page-1/#comment-108947 Dimitre Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:11:44 +0000 http://gojko.net/2008/02/14/ajax-selenium-fitnesse/#comment-108947 Thank you. I read the articles and they make a lot of sense. I was just starting to get excited around Silenium so the Sine of death by UI testing was just on time. I guess it's just that people forget the word Abstraction when they start moving toward testing "concrete" things and this plays them a trick. The !- -! escape is a nice work-around. I was hoping for something like being able to populate a folder with real .htm files and to just point fitnesse to that folder so that I don't have to manually escape the html source. A colleague of mine wrote a utility tool for .net (http://fit-gui.sourceforge.net/) which I found very convenient but I want to use Java and couldn't find something similar. May be I'll try to rewrite his tool in Java. Thank you. I read the articles and they make a lot of sense.

I want to create the HTML tables directly in some html editor and then supply a path to the file. Thank you very much Hi Gojko,

is there a way to feed fitnesse .html files instead of the wiki text? I want to create the HTML tables directly in some html editor and then supply a path to the file.

Thank you very much

I suggest googling for selenesse, this is a mashup of selenium and fitnesse. Hi Geekay,
