Getting exception: Could not complete testing: fitnesse.slim.SlimError: Error SLiM server died before Header Message could be read. Unable to start test system 'slim': fitnesse.slim.SlimError: Error SLiM server died before Header Message could be r

Hi Team,

As i am a beginner to FitNesse, need some help. If someone can suggest how to resolve this or what is going wrong here, will be appreciated. So I am trying to connect to the appian cloud test environment but getting the exception "Could not complete testing: fitnesse.slim.SlimError: Error SLiM server died before Header Message could be read. Unable to start test system 'slim': fitnesse.slim.SlimError: Error SLiM server died before Header Message could be read".
I have provided the details as mentioned in the hint(marked in red) in the script table and have made changes in the user properties file as myusername=password (in the "login with username " , have provided my actual user id that i used to login to the test env, just before pasting it here have changes it to my_username), still getting the exception.
NOTE : I have not created any fixture for this script. Do I need to ?



This is regarding the appian cloud connectivity where i am getting stuck, but for sample test i am getting the correct result.

So , please help me out here.

    Hello, this is a common error caused by when TESTING_HOME is incorrect. Modify the fitnesse.properties file in the root directory of the FitNesse package so that field FitNesseRootDir is set to the actual directory of the project.

  • Hi Alex, I face the same issue mentioned in the thread, error slim error died.....

    Want to understand what exactly this mean "Modify the fitnesse.properties file in the root directory of the FitNesse package so that field FitNesseRootDir is set to the actual directory of the project.", 

    does this mean change C:\FitNesseForAppian\fitnesse-for-appian-24.2.0\fitnesse.properties to set a value for 'FitNesseRootDir='?

    Hi Abhishek, 

    What resolved the slim issue on your end? I am also beginner and blocked at this step so want to understand.
