Setting up FitNesse for .NET with SliM

Basic steps for setting up FitNesse for .NET with the wiki stored under source control. Review all code that you copy and paste from this page because it may need to be modified for your situation.

1. Create a simple fixture:
   

   public class IsFitNesseCorrectlySetup
   {
       public int Value { get; set; }
   
       public int GetValueDoubled()
       {
           return Value * 2;
       }
   }
   

2. Download FitNesse and SliM, and save these into separate folders under your third party folder in source control (everything here is presumed to be under source control).
3. Create this .cmd file for testers to use (presumes TFS; will need to be modified for other source control systems):
   

   @echo off
   setlocal
   "%VS100COMNTOOLS%\..\IDE\TF.exe" get "%~dp0.." -r
   "%VS100COMNTOOLS%\..\IDE\TF.exe" checkout "%~dp0FitNesseRoot" -r
   C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe "%~dp0..\Solution\Solution.sln" /p:configuration=release
   set FitNessePort=8084
   start /min /d "%~dp0..\ThirdParty\FitNesse" java -jar fitnesse.jar -p %FitNessePort% -d "%~dp0." -r FitNesseRoot
   start http://localhost:%FitNessePort%/
   endlocal

4. Launch FitNesse and add the following to the root page (modifying paths to match your folder structure):
   

   !*****> Configuration
   !define TEST_SYSTEM {slim}
   !path .dll
   !define COMMAND_PATTERN {%m -r fitSharp.Slim.Service.Runner,..\..\ThirdParty\FitSharp\fitsharp.dll %p}
   !define TEST_RUNNER {..\..\ThirdParty\FitSharp\Runner.exe}
   *****!

5. Add a normal page (not a test page) called SetUp at the top level of your suite, and put the following in it to let FitNesse know which namespaces to find your fixtures in:
   

   !|import|
   |Your Fixture DLL namespace|

6. Create a test page with this test:
   

   !|Is FitNesse correctly set up|
   |Value   |Get value doubled?  |
   |2       |4                   |
   |23      |46                  |
   |100     |200                 |
   |200     |399<_<401           |

   Run the test, which should pass.

Note that these files in the FitNesse wiki should not be checked in to source control:

• *.zip
• ErrorLogs\**
• files\testResults\**
• RecentChanges\**
