Update version of FitNesse for .NET.

This time a command-line and MSBuild runners are included: fitnesse4net-bin.zip 8.3Mb

After experimenting a bit more with FitNesse I managed to make it run .NET assemblies with about 15Kb of source code injected directly into FitNesse internals . It not tested much so probably some bugs will need to be fixed, but it is able to run demo .NET assemblies without any problems. The main purpose was proof of concept, to see if it will work at all and try to develop a MSBuild tasks allowing to run all tests using command-line.

What is included:

DemoTest1 page contains the following text:

!contents
!|script|DemoProject.MultiplierBy2|
 |input|2|
 |run|
 |check|output|4|
 !|script| DemoProject.MultiplierBy2|
 |input|2|
 |run|
 |check|output|5|

The file content.txt in FitNesseRoot/ is used to find a list of assemblies to be referenced, looks like this:

!path ..\DemoProject\bin\Debug\DemoProject.dll

After run of run-test-suite.cmd the following output should be printed and the target/ directory should contain results of the tests as html.

Loading assembly ..\DemoProject\bin\Debug\DemoProject.dll ...

Running test suite FrontPage.DemoSuite ...

Running test FrontPage.DemoSuite.DemoTest1 ...

Test results: 3 right, 1 wrong, 0 ignored, 0 exceptions

Running test FrontPage.DemoSuite.DemoTest2 ...

Test results: 4 right, 0 wrong, 0 ignored, 0 exceptions

Contents of FitNesse.proj:

msbuild-run-test-suite.cmd:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe FitNesse.proj /t:RunSlimTest

msbuild-run-test.cmd:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe FitNesse.proj /t:RunSlimTestSuite

run-test-suite.cmd:

..\bin\FitNesse4Net.exe --run-test-suite=FrontPage.DemoSuite --work-directory=.\src\DemoProject.Tests --target-directory=.\target

run-test.cmd:

..\bin\FitNesse4Net.exe --run-test=FrontPage.DemoSuite.DemoTest1 --work-directory=.\src\DemoProject.Tests --target-directory=.\target

start-server.cmd:

start ..\bin\FitNesse4Net.exe --port=8080 --work-directory=.\src\DemoProject.Tests

stop-server.cmd:

..\bin\FitNesse4Net.exe --shutdown --port=8080

After FitNesse4Net.exe is started without arguments, usage help will be printed to the console. Many options are similar to those provided by Java fitnesse.jar but some are new like --shutdown, --run-test-suite, --run-test

Note: after run of start-server.cmd - it will generate a lot of other files in your FitNesseRoot.

After FitNesse4Net.exe is stared, a list of possible options will be printed to the console. Many options a similar to those provided by Java fitnesse.jar but some are new like --shutdown, --run-test-suite, --run-test

TODO: check if it will work as a test runner from FitNesse wiki (currently it will say that runner is not found if you try to run tests from the fitnesse wiki).
