FitNesse with Selenium using Generic Fixture

Selenium-RC is the solution for tests that need more than simple browser actions and linear execution. Selenium-RC uses the full power of programming languages to create more complex tests like reading and writing files, querying a database, and emailing test results.

You’ll want to use Selenium-RC whenever your test requires logic not supported by Selenium-IDE. What logic could this be? For example, Selenium-IDE does not directly support

• condition statements
• iteration
• logging and reporting of test results
• error handling, particularly unexpected errors
• database testing
• test case grouping
• re-execution of failed tests
• test case dependency
• screenshot capture of test failures

FitNesse with Selenium using Generic Fixture

Create a start script for Selenium and Fitnesse

Open text file and Copy the following code into it and save the text file as Selenium.vbs

Function IsProcessRunning( strServer, strProcess )

   Dim Process, strObject

   IsProcessRunning = False

   strObject   = "winmgmts://" & strServer

   For Each Process in GetObject( strObject ).InstancesOf( "win32_process" )

       If UCase( Process.name ) = UCase( strProcess ) Then

           IsProcessRunning = True

           Exit Function

       End If

   Next

End Function

sServer = "."      ' "." for local machine

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set objEnv = objShell.Environment("Process")

Selenium = "java -jar selenium-server.jar -browserSessionReuse -proxyInjectionMode"

If( IsProcessRunning( sServer, Selenium ) = False ) Then

   objshell.CurrentDirectory =_

"C:\Program Files\Selenium\selenium_1_0_3\selenium-server-1.0.3"

   result = objshell.Run  ( Selenium, 5, true )

End If

Wscript.Quit

Open text file and Copy the following code into it and save the text file as Fitnesse.vbs

Function IsProcessRunning( strServer, strProcess )

   Dim Process, strObject

   IsProcessRunning = False

   strObject   = "winmgmts://" & strServer

   For Each Process in GetObject( strObject ).InstancesOf( "win32_process" )

       If UCase( Process.name ) = UCase( strProcess ) Then

           IsProcessRunning = True

           Exit Function

       End If

   Next

End Function

sServer = "."      ' "." for local machine

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set objEnv = objShell.Environment("Process")

FitNesse = "java -cp fitnesse.jar fitnesse.FitNesse -p 8000"

If( IsProcessRunning( sServer, FitNesse ) = False ) Then

   objshell.CurrentDirectory  = "C:\Program Files\Fitnesse"

   f = objshell.Run  ( FitNesse, 6, false )

End If

Wscript.Quit

Download and Install Generic Fixture

You must have FitNesse framework installed on your computer and FitNesse server must be running on the computer where Generic Fixture is being installed.

You can download 

Download the jar file genericfixture.jar containing full source code and compiled classes from Generic Fixture Sourceforge Site. Included classes have been generated using Sun’s JDK 1.5 Java compiler. Should you need to build Generic Fixture with any other JVM then make sure to put fitnesse.jar and fitlibrary.jar (provided in all the Fitnesse releases) in your CLASSPATH.

Install the Generic Fixture

Save genericfixture.jar somewhere on your computer where FitNesse server is running. Then simply add genericfixture.jar in your classpath on FitNesse Wiki. eg:

!path /path/to/download/dir/genericfixture.jar

Run startup script

Run the startup scripts Selenium.vbs and Fitnesse.vbs files which will start the both the servers.

Now you are about to run your own fitnesse scripts.......
