FitNesse 配置文件

Question

I'm using FitNesse as a functional testing framework. I'm running into trouble when FitNesse runs code that needs configuration.

If I need to get a connection string from the configuration file, I can get it to work by adding it to the FitServer.exe.config. However, I don't like that solution. I would like FitNesse to load my own configuration file, namely TheNameOfMyApp.dll.config.

Is this possible?

Sure, easy to do. I'm assuming you're using the dotnet or dotnet2 test runner. I'm using the dotnet2 test runner, and here's how I've got it set up:

First, when you,define your COMMAND_PATTERN. include -c suite.config, For instance: I have the following in root:

!define COMMAND_PATTERN {%m -c suite.config %p}
!define TEST_RUNNER {..\..\bin\Debug\FitServer.exe}

suite.config goes in the same dir as fitnesse.jar:

<suiteConfig>
    <fit.Settings>
        <appConfigFile>..\..\MyProjectFolder\fitnesse\MyProjectName.config</appConfigFile>
    </fit.Settings>
    <fit.Assemblies>
    </fit.Assemblies>
    <fit.FileExclusions>
        <add>^\.svn$</add>
    </fit.FileExclusions>
    <fit.Namespaces>
    </fit.Namespaces>
    <fit.CellHandlers>
    </fit.CellHandlers>
    <fitlibrary.CellHandlers>
    </fitlibrary.CellHandlers>
</suiteConfig>

MyProjectName.config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="keyname" value="something" />
    </appSettings>

</configuration>

You can make things easier for yourself if you use an absolute path for the appConfigFile. I started off with an absolute path, got things working, then switched to a relative path by trial and error.

Note that I'm running my test runner from a non-standard location, which will affect the relative path in suite.config. The path is relative to your TEST_RUNNER location, NOT to suite.config or fitnesse.jar.

Answer 2

yes it is possible but an awful load of work. you need to define a test-project where you have your tests in it and a "wrapper"-project where you have the functionality of providing the tests with data and configuration settings.
