Fitnesse RestFixture on Linux

Question

I've been using the RestFixture in Fitnesse to test a REST service which is running under Tomcat. When Fitnesse is run on Linux (Redhat to be precise) the fixture doesn't pass any querystrings to Tomcat (the log entries prove this). However, the exact same fixture running through Fitnesse on a Windows machine works as expected.

Has anyone else tried this combination of operating system and fixture and had any experiences that may help?

Alternatively does anyone know of any good ways of bulk-testing REST services (in a way that a non-developer can create new tests).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I've just run across what appears to be this issue myself. I haven't tried on Windows but RestFixture is fairly definitely not populating my query parameters.

In fact, there's an issue on the RestFixture list about it.

Answer 2

Hi, the one described was in fact a bug. It is fixed in the trunk and it will be available in the next release coming at the end of April 09.
