FitNesse For Appian Driver Issue

I had the same error:

The driver executable does not exist: C:\FitNesseForAppian\null\lib\drivers\chromedriver.exe

After a few workarounds the issue was resolved. This was done by the following:

1. Set the TESTING_HOME to fitnesse-for-appian-22.2. The file's contents are shown below:

2. configs > custom.properties file:

### INSTALLATION PROPERTIES ###
# Populate with location of this project's Home Directory. Home Directory is the unzipped directory.
automated.testing.home=C:\\fitnesse-for-appian-22.2

download.directory=C:\\Users\\dimitris.kazantzis\\Downloads
download.mime.types=application/xml,text/plain,text/xml,image/jpeg,image/png

# When set to true, login will login to Tempo News, ignoring any path in the URL after /suite
login.to.base.url=false

### CHROME ###
# Leave blank if installed in default location of: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe
# For MacOS or Linux/Unix, update with location of Chrome binary
chrome.browser.home=C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe
# Leave blank if using the Windows driver included in TESTING_HOME\\lib\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe
# For MacOs or Linux/Unix, update with correct driver in TESTING_HOME/lib/drivers, e.g. /TESTING_HOME/lib/drivers/chromedriver-mac
# Download new or additional drivers at sites.google.com/.../downloads
chrome.driver.home=C:\\fitnesse-for-appian-22.2\\lib\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe

The initial error occurred when I included the contents of both files (fitnesse-for-appian-22.2 and Automated Testing-22.2) under the same TESTING_HOME. Therefore, I would suggest separating the two folders and using only fitnesse-for-appian-22.2 as the TESTING_HOME.

Hi Vincent.

A little more experimentation has solved the issue, thanks for the pointers.

The documentation at https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/97/automated-testing-with-fitnesse-for-appian contains the line 'automated.testing.home to be TESTING_HOME (e.g. C:\FitNesseForAppian)', which to me suggests that the home can be anything as long as TESTING_HOME is defined in the config.

It would appear that something is hardcoded that breaks this standard though, as I finally got it to work ONLY when I had C:\FitNesseForAppian as the root folder, or as you say above, if the root contains \FitNesseForAppian.

A subtle point I know but its taken a while to resolve owing to the confusion.

Thanks again for your help though!

It looks like you have created a folder called FitNesse inside your C drive
So you will need to set the automated.testing.home to C:\\FitNesse\\FitNesseForAppian

Could you also manually verify that there is a FitNesseForAppian folder inside your C:\\FitNesse folder?

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for responding...

I've got the chrome.driver.home blank as per the instructions (I'm using the default driver location), but when I tried coding the path directly I did use escaped backslashes.

My custom properties file is below. Note that I've altered the automated.testing.home since I posted the screenshot, but I still get the same /null/ segment inserted into the drivers URL.

('ve also tried adding C:\\FitNesse\\ to see if that helped, but no)

------------------------------

automated.testing.home=C:\\FitNesse

FITNESSE_FOR_APPIAN_VERSION=v19.2
download.directory=C:\\FitNesse\\Downloads
download.mime.types=application/xml,text/plain,text/xml,image/jpeg,image/png

# When set to true, FitNesse tests will login to Tempo News, ignoring any path in the URL after /suite
login.to.base.url=false

This could be due to windows format for "\", can you share what you put for chrome.driver.home in the custom properties file?
