Hello,
We have tried to connect Appian URL in fitnesse , however could not complete testing due to slim error. Kindly help us to resolve the issue and guide us to proceed with Appian connectivity.
Also, please let us know if Java version 17 and above will work for fitnesse, appian connectivity. Since there is mentioned java 11 only supported in fitnesse page.
We are stuck in project activity due to above issue and unable to proceed. Urgent help is appreciated.
Error Message
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.

Could you please check if you have connectivity, and also Fitnesse configuration? Check testing_home variable in custom.properties file please.
Hi David,
Thank you for your comment. The issue was resolved.
I am new to the Appian for Fitnesse, I face the same exact issue, what could I be doing wrong? I am stuck at this step.
Hi!!!
Check testing_home variable in custom.properties file, and verify that points to the correct path.
Thanks for the quick response, yes, automated.testing.home=C:\FitNesseForAppian\fitnesse-for-appian-24.2.0
Anything else would be missed?
Do you see any more error in logs?
This is common error caused by when TESTING_HOME is incorrect. Modify the fitnesse.properties and custom-properties file in the root directory of the FitNesse package so that field FitNesseRootDir is set to the actual directory of the project.
In Fitnesse.properties file below are set, same error.
#The directory in which FitNesse looks for top level pages.FitNesseRootDir=C:\FitNesseForAppian\fitnesse-for-appian-24.2.0FitNesseRoot=log.level=DEBUG
How to check the log files?
at search-ms:displayname=Search%20Results%20in%20fitnesse-for-appian-24.2.0&crumb=location:C%3A%5CFitNesseForAppian%5Cfitnesse-for-appian-24.2.0\LogFiles?
I have that file with no value in both properties
and all the configuration done in custom.properties....
David, before no values, from your previous message fitness.properties I have interrupted as set to the actual project directory to the FitnesseRootDir.
I will clear those two values.
When I search Appian community for the below error, the same was mentioned to set Ffitnesse.properties and set FitNesseRootDir to the actual directory of the project. What is actual director exactly mean, is it where the Appian is stored or where test scripts stored?
Never mind! the issue got resolved after fixing the Testing_Home path to use '\\' instead of'\' in the path value. Thank you for your support though, appreciate it.
