在调试模式下运行Fitnesse

Question

I used to use Fitnesse daily years ago, but forgot how to run tests in debug mode (or have stack trace information be output) - does anyone know?

I recall being able to configure it either as a flag when running/starting up fitnesse.jar, or as a URL parameter (eg http://localhost:8090/FitLibraryWeb.MyTest?test&debug=true )

Answer 1

要在.Net中调试fixture，我通常在C＃fixture代码中添加Debugger.Break（）

Answer 2

Add the following line just before the your test target location

!|debug|

For further details, refer to Michael Sorens' excelent article , the most comprehensive article on Fitnesse debug techniques.

Answer 3

Your thinking of using RunnerW.exe as opposed to the Runner.exe.

If you change your test runner to be RunnerW a pop-up window will appear with a 'go' button on it, and will not start the fitnesse test until you hit it.

Before hitting go you can attach to any process (via 'Attach To Process' in the debug menu if your using VS) and the execution will pause at the break points set.

Note : You must have the same build being used by FitNesse as the code you are debugging.

You can also attach to a remote process, using the Remote Debugger.

Also, if you attach the the RunnerW.exe process, you can debug the fixtures themselves.

Answer 4

Although my prefered development solution has already been pointed out on Rustin's DebugBreak() suggestion , and alternate solution is to invoke RunnerW.exe , which requires adding the following line to your target Fitnesse test page

[[Press me to start in remote debug mode][?responder=test&remote_debug=true]]

Please, bear in mind that I am assuming your test page already defines REMOTE_DEBUG_RUNNER pointing to RunnerW.exe , as stated in Fitnesse guide's Customizing Test Execution section

For the sake of simplicity, I will present a sample fit test header.

So, here is how to Remote Debug using Visual Studio :

1. Make sure you fitnesse test page starts with the following lines

 !define TEST_RUNNER {FitSharp\\Runner.exe} !define REMOTE_DEBUG_RUNNER {FitSharp\\RunnerW.exe} [[Press me to start in remote debug mode][?responder=test&remote_debug=true]] The rest of your test specification goes here 

2. In Visual Studio , set target code breakpoint
3. On fit test page, click on Press me to start in remote debug mode , defined above. This starts the RunnerW.exe process (winform app called Fitsharp ) which will wait for 30 seconds (I am not sure).
4. In Visual Studio > Debug menu > Attach to process , locate RunnerW.exe and press Attach button.
5. On Fitsharp window ( RunnerW.exe process), click GO button and you are on your way.

As pratical solution, I use the following strategy:

1. I create static page called SetupEngine and add the 3 lines stated on previous step 1.
2. On the top of every test page , I just put the following header, so I don't have to repeat those 3 lines.

!include .SetupEngine

Note that . (dot) on .SetupEngine (which is a path) refers to your Fitnesse root page. You may have to adjust it.

I had this ideia when I was referring to Fitnesse.UserGuide's remote debug section

Hope it helps

Answer 5

I haven't had to do it in a while, but the current documentation that comes with FitNesse indicates that you are close. You should be using remote_debug instead of debug .

The best thing is to start with the documentation that comes with your copy of FitNesse, as it matches what you are running. If you are running on port 8080, then the following link should work: http://localhost:8080/FitNesse.UserGuide.DebugingFixtureCode .

Assuming you are using Java, these instructions should help. If you are using a different language I am not sure I can help.
