Running .NET fitserver under Vista

Using fitnesse, running fitserver.exe under Vista, fails with the message

   java.lang.Exception: FitClient: communication socket was not received on time

which is caused by:

   Unhandled Exception: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used

This is because the socket.connect call in fitserver.cs is expecting an IPv6 connection under Vista.

The binaries to fix this problem can be downloaded from : http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/fitnesse/files/ and downloading the file  Vista-fitnessedotnet.zip .

The modified fitserver.cs file is included in the download. The binaries are built using the FitLibrary from http://sourceforge.net/projects/fitnessedotnet/ - svn - revision 17

However, only fit.dll needs to be replaced in your fitnesse/dotnet directory(provided you have built your binaries with .NET 2.0).

The modification does NOT work for .NET 1.1

At http://www.vlagsma.com/fitnesse you can now find the FitBook Examples for:

.NET 1.1, .NET 2.0 and Jre 1.5, each with 2 versions of the FitLibrary.

The tests in the test suite follow the chapters in the book.

Individual test pages contain references to the book Tables and Fixture listings, and clickable links to the relevant fixture and application code.

The examples are downloadable in six combinations of development environment and fitlibrary version.

Each .NET version contains C# , Visual Basic.Net and J# versions of the examples.

The .NET 2.0 dowloads contain examples of Windows Forms and Web forms testing using NUnitForms and Selenium RC.

The Java versions containing the original examples in Java can also be downloaded here.

The relevant FitLibrary documentation is included, slightly refactored, to allow for more than one version in the same fitnesse wiki.

The required fit & fitlibrary binaries are part of the download.

All downloads can exist side-by-side in the same fitnesse, with simple selection and navigation provided.

The examples can run on Windows or Linux (and probably, although not tested, on Unix).

On Linux the .NET 1.1 examples run successfully if mono 1.1 is installed.

All examples work with both the fitnesse version 31 July 2005 and the latest version of 19 July 2006.

The pages (VbNet, CsNet & JsNet) containing symbolic links to TestSuite have been updated for compatibility with the latest fitnesse version.

The FitBook Examples have been upgraded with two new versions:

Both versions have implementations of the fixtures for Chapters 13 thru 16 of the FitBook, covering more aspects of the RentAParty software for VB, C# and J#.

V3 uses the new FitLibrary .NET sources now (June 2006) being maintained on SourceForge at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fitnessedotnet

V2 uses the existing Fit dotnet and FitLibrary.NET sources found on

http://fit.c2.com and

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fitlibrary respectively.

This site covers my .NET port of the examples in the 'FitBook'
