    Hi, thanks for your question.

    We typically tried to release FitNesse a week or two after a new Appian version is released. We are aware that some customers that some customers need to have the release sooner. Going forward, we will release FitNesse as soon as a new Appian version is rolled out.

    Thanks.

  • in reply to Vincent Wang

    A new update has been released with the fixes. 

  • v20.2.1 Release Notes
    • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed a bug regarding clicking on card layouts

  • Is it possible to release new FitNesse updates by the time when new Appian version are rolled out? The issue is that we always have to wait for a new FitNesse update before we upgrade an environment with a new Appian version.

  • in reply to Vincent Wang

    Thanks . Appreciate your help. Any idea when this will be released?

    Furthermore, we are very surprised that we as customer came across this issue. Can it be that it has not been tested by Appian? But if it has been tested by Appian, where could we have read about the incompatibility? As a result we have applied a fix to an environment which now is 'broken' (to a certain extend).

    Hi  

    Thanks for reaching out. 

    We are aware that the recent change broke some of the FitNesse scripts. We are working on making a minor release.

  • in reply to Stephan Clemens

    Echoing this concern. The hotfix appears to have broken record type link indexing (since they're cards) as well, which stops our tempo-based application scripts pretty early. Any plans for an updated version soon?

  • Dear ,

    Could it be that the latest hotfix (20.2 Hotfix Package C) broke SiteFixture.clickOnCard('foo')?

    We applied the hotfix to our UAT environment and it turns out that in UAT the clickOnCard method stopped working for linked cards. Could be related to AN-163121 (Linked cards are now properly included in the list of links dialog when using assistive technologies.)?

    We tried with FF and Chrome. In the environments we've not patched, our tests run perfectly fine. Whereas the tests fail in our patched UAT environment. Compare and deploy does not show any application object discrepancies between the environments.

    Let me know if you have questions.

    Thanks,
    Stephan
