   Where can I find the version of the DoFixture that supports the following features…

   Some other shortcuts
   In order to write tests for a large .Net project more efficiently, I
   developed a few extensions for .Net Fit/FitNesse library:
    numeric comparisons >, >=, < and <= can be used in cells for checks
    Nullable types like int? and bool? work properly
    !blank keyword can be used to check if a string is not blank
    symbols (<<name) can be used as fixture parameters. Fixture will get the symbol value
   directly.
    Fixtures can handle object arguments (not just string arguments) with protected ArgsObjects
   array
   Those patches are not part of standard FitNesse distribution, but are free to use, and can be
   downloaded from http://gojko.net/fitnesse.

   Hi MUlmer,

   the patches are now obsolete. nullable type support was built into the main branch of fitnesse.net a while ago. Regarding blanks and numeric comparisons, you can load support for that using the Cell Handler Loader table.. Here’s an example that enables symbols:

   !|Cell Handler Loader|
   |load|SymbolSaveHandler|FitLibrary|
   |load|SymbolRecallHandler|FitLibrary|
   

   You can get objects from arguments using the GetArgumentInput method (see http://syterra.com/FixtureArguments.html).

   This is very good information. I would suggests adding information of the DomainAdapter idea in the latest FitLibrary and SuiteFixture. These work together well to allow you to have one fixture and talk more directly to domain objects.

   I just heard about a Generic Fixture for FitNesse at http://genericfixture.wiki.sourceforge.net/.
   It seems to have only a Java implementation currently.
   Has anyone done similar work (or adapted that Generic Fixture) for use with FitNesse .NET?

6. # gojkoon 22 Jun 2008 at 10:38 pm

   Hi Kevin,

   There is no equivalent of generic fixture for .NET as far as I know.

7. # Wes W.on 25 Jun 2008 at 12:05 pm

   Kevin,

   The DomainAdapter in FitLibrary allows something similar to the GenericFixture you mentioned. It does not completely remove the ability in most complex cases for some ‘fixture’ code but it greatly reduces it and does not require a tester to know class names. The DomainAdapter is available in both .Net and Java versions of FitLibrary. It also offers several ways to do conversion from the strings in the test to your domain objects.

   I’m building an automatic acceptance test tool leveraging Fitnesse. Because of troubles in latest test suites, i decided to send you this message, hope that i could get a solution.

   Our undertest application is a heavy GUI built in Java. To run it manually, we need a JVM with -Xms128M -Xmx256M. As we need to verify the business value via GUI, it ’s mandatory
   to get the references of graphical widgets. To do that, i start the targeted application in method of a subclass of DoFixture

   public class MyOwnDoFixture extends DoFixture{

   public void startGUI(){

   Runnable r=new Runnable(){
   public void run(){
   MyMainClassInJarArchive.main(new String[0]); // We need to invoke it in a thread, not process. To get referecences of graphical widgets, the runnable r and MyOwnDoFixture
   // must be run in the same JVM
   }
   };
   new Thread(r).start();

   …….

   }

   public void traceAllComponents(){
   …..
   }

   }

   My wiki page contains following scripts

   |MyOwnDoFixture|

   |startGUI|

   |traceAllComponents|

   …..

   This implementation worked well with lighter application ( the same undertest application, but some modules are disabled), which requires less than 64 M of Java heap to run

   With the latest application, the graphical interface is partly frozen and crashed-prone.

   I used JConsole to see what happened in backgroud. When I start the Fitneese server at the port 8288, a JVM is instantiated to run the main method of the class Fitnesse. When I clicked on the ‘Test’ button in my wiki page, a new JVM is instantiated ( its connection on JConsole is : …. FitServer 8288 1 ( the counter of clicks on Test button) ). The default java heap size of this JVM is always 64M, and i don’t know how to customize it. That cause a critical problem as the undertest app is run in a JVM with 64M of java heap.

   I want to know if there is anyway to customize the java heap size of the last JVM ( what i need to put in config, what code snippet need to be amended )

    Tests are executed in a separate process, starting fitserver. to pass arguments to that process, see http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.CustomizingTestExecution

    Hi Gojko,

    In the gallery the .NEt tests do not work out of the box. On the main page of the .NEt suite the classpath must change from ..\bin\*.dll to dotnet2\*.dll

    When will C++ version of FIT be added to fitnesse?

14. # gojkoon 07 Feb 2009 at 4:22 pm

    Tomwang,

    As far as I know, there is a C++ test runner that integrates with FitNesse already.

15. # Ryanon 13 Mar 2009 at 2:54 am

    Gojko, would it be possible for you to add SLIM examples? In particular being able to download an executable Fitnesse wiki that demonstrates .NET support with SLIM would really be helpful.

16. # gojkoon 13 Mar 2009 at 10:16 am

    Yep, i planned to do that… not high on my list of priorities, though. You can see my slim presentation for a few examples though.
