Has anyone implemented Fitnesse for Appian on a Linux environment? I have set up both Jenkins and Fitness running on Ubuntu 14.04 and everything is running smoothly thus far but would like to avoid any issues that may come up. I was worried the ubuntu browser (firefox) may be buggy with Appian since it is not supported but it seems to be running well.

    Hi forrestr. I reinstalled XVFB, firefox and i am able to run Fitnesse test outside Jenkins. But when i use Xvfb plugin and start fitnesse through Jenkins its giving no display specified error. But from the logs i can confirm that the fitnesse is started and the DISPLAY environment variable is also set properly. But if i start fitnsse seperately and choose the option "Fitnesse Already Running" option in Jenkins and provide necessary configuration without using Xvfb plugin i am able to run Fitnesse test cases successfully through Jenkins.

    Hi Priya,

    I am facing a similar problem. I installed fitnesse in a linux machine and I am trying to run a fitnesse script from the browser. In the execution log i am getting the below error.

    Standard Error:

	at org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.FluentWait.<init>(FluentWait.java:96)

    I have installed XVFB and X11.

    If I open a terminal and execute "/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox" "-marionette" "-foreground" "-no-remote" "-profile" "/tmp/rust_mozprofile.4lCUxy8nhgNs"  manually, it works fine and I can see a ton of logs being written. 

    I have also set the DISPLAY environment variable in the .bash_profile. Still it shows "no DISPLAY environment variable specified", when i Test from browser.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hi Priya, 

    I have XVFB running in the background.

    [root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep Xvfb
    root 7571 0.0 0.0 112704 956 pts/8 S+ 14:10 0:00 grep --color=auto Xvfb
    root 21070 0.0 0.4 218644 19340 pts/0 Sl 12:40 0:00 /usr/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24


    Can you please give an example on how to start Fitnesse with XFVB command.

    Regards,

    You Can start XVF and Fitnesse in the same command prompt. Run the below two commands before starting the fitnesse server
    Xvfb :99 &
    export DISPLAY=:99

    or you can start fitnesse server with teh following command as prefix
    xvfb-run startfinesse.bat
