Getting Started With Source
First, acquire the source from github:
- Find a place you’d normally store source code. I use ~src, not original, I know.
- Type the following command while in that directory:
git clone git://github.com/unclebob/fitnesse.git- Note, this creates a directory called fitnesse
Next, build the source:
You can actually skip to the next step if you’re feeling lucky.
- Just to be sure, build FitNesse and run the unit tests
> cd fitnesse
> antNotes
- You’ll need at least JDK 1.5 and ant 1.7 (or have junit task already available)
- Occasionally some of the unit tests might fail (they don’t always, there are still a few synchronization problemsin the tests)
- The default ant task also runs the FitNesse tests used to test FitNesse, so you’ll need to either leave port 8080 open or define an environment variable, FITNESSE_TEST_PORT, with the port you want have the acceptance test execution use.
Build the Distribution
- Type the following:
> ant build_distribution- Note, this builds a file called fitnesse
.zip
Unzip It
- Unzip the fitnesse
.zip file anywhere (I use ~/) - This creates a directory called fitnesse
Run It
- cd to the directory where you extracted the zip file
- Type:
Unix
> sh run.sh -p 8080DOS
> run.bat -p 8080
