David: First of all, thanks for asking. :-) Based on what I know so far, the design flexibility sounds useful. It does not sound to me like Needless...
Thanks for your reply Patrick. Funny you should bring up "blank", as that is already implemented (not released) along with "null" and "error" keywords (so now...
Right now we are both extending fixtures and using TypeAdapters, although for different purposes. I need to do a little research and see if we can get the same...
Hi, As far as I can tell, FIT creates new fixture in SetUp and than new ones for each of test tables. Based on experience with xUnit framework, I expect FIT to...
Hi, I need to append a cell to a row in a test table from my fixture. I managed to do so with this ugly code: String tags[] = { "td" }; cells.tag = "<td>"; //...
I had a similar experience when I first encountered FitNesse, but I think it stemmed (in my case) from an erroneous desire for FIT to work just like my tried...
Hi there! I was trying to implement RowFixture example in C#. I wrote a test sample just like that one comes with FitNesse. The class (Item) that I was testing...
The current release of .NET fitnesse doesn't support properties. There is a version in CVS that does - and this will be in the next release which should happen...
... Yup, you really don't need much more than that. 'parts' and 'more' are allowed to be null so you can use this convenience constructor rather than the ones...
There is an odd little workaround you can use right now to actually use the getter side of properties in your fixtures, though you must still refer to them...
In the next release (coming this week or the following) properties will be fully supported (get or set values). In fact, you’ll now be able to set and get...
Ok, about the whole TypeAdapter issue.... The way it works now is fairly clunky, and reading through the code is irritating at best :) I haven't taken the...
Hi, David. I apologize for not replying to you sooner. I left on vacation after releasing Fit RC1 and I have very limited email access. My perspective is...
Kay, You can use symbols to pass values between fixtures. http://www.fitnesse.org/FitNesse.SymbolsInFixtures is an example of how to do that. In your case, you...
I have a row fixture which inspects a large set of name-value pairs. There is a subset of this data that all the pairs have the same name, and I cannot know...
The first column of a RowFixture is assumed to contain unique keys. Since it sounds like you have duplicate keys, RowFixture is not what you want to use. You...
Thank you Alain and David. What you suggested is working for me now! !|ImportExtractionFile| ... !|CheckSubmittedPersons|submissionId| ... I'm overriding...
Am I correct to assume that one file may have several entries that are all associated with one submissionId? If so, then this is a perfectly fine good ...
Have you thought about having a RowFixture that uses an ADO.NET DataTable? The columns in the HTML table that FIT uses for such a RowFixture could be the...
Thanks for the suggestion Chris. I'll have to give it some thought. My instinct is that it sounds more "unit test"y than "acceptance test"y. Unless you were...
My current project is a mobile device (PDA) project that requires synchronizing boatloads of data from a primary data source for viewing offline. This...
Thanks for the explanation. Your dilemma is clear and so are the benefits of a DataTableFixture for your particular problem. I can tell you that we're doing a...
CG, Thanks for the suggestion. I've added a story to add a friendly error message in the case of ClassCastException. Thanks for the props too. Micah Martin ...
There may be a quick solution. Create a AdoDataTableRowFixture that inherits from RowFixture. It cycles through the DataColumns of each DataRow in the...
