Hello. I am trying to configure Fitnesse for Appian, but I keep getting errors when trying to run the test example (see above). We think it may be related to my custom.properties file. Can you help me resolve this? Thank you.
Hi davidh790,
To download you must be logged in and you must be associated with a Customer or Partner account.

Oh look, if I comment, I can see the download link. That makes tons of sense.
Why can I not download this from here? Why do I have have to click through two links to get to the SAME PAGE, but it has the download link at the top?
Hi, I got FitnesseForAppian installed with version 19.2 and I see issue with get form title, verify milestone interface. Is there any issue raised to fix this? Looks like the issue is with Xpath and not sure any one noticed it?
marieh Hi there. Apologies for the late response. My team is now responsible for supporting FitNesseForAppian and I have worked on it extensively this quarter.
As for the first part of your question, yes we do accomodate new Appian releases. We release a FitNesseForAppian version alongside every Appian release with support for all the new features!
For the second part of your question, we don't have an explicit method for selecting an item from the hierarchyBrowserFieldColumns but our methods are pretty general so a similar method might work. We can investigate that for you. We have several validation methods. You can CTRL + F for "validation" in the CheatSheet within the tool and see if any of them work for you. "verifyFieldContainsValidationMessage" might work for your needs.
Let us know if you have any more questions and we can try to help you out
Is this going to be updated in order to accommodate for the new appian releases. Like being able to select an item from the hierarchyBrowserFieldColumns or validate instructional text?
