I am setting up FitNesse Acceptance tests for a SignalR hub application. The tests were executing and succeeding earlier this week.

Now I am getting an exception in the FitNesse execution window: 

WARNING: An error occured while fulfilling user request [fitnesse.http.HttpExcep
tion: The request string is malformed and can not be parsed]

        ... 4 more

In the wiki browser it shows as:

Testing was interrupted and results are incomplete. Test Pages: 0 right, 0 wrong, 0 ignored, 0 exceptions     Assertions: 0 right, 0 wrong, 0 ignored, 0 exceptions (21.689 seconds)
Could not complete testing: java.lang.Exception: FitClient: external process terminated before a connection could be established.

The tests run C# applications that subscribe to events on SignalR, post changes through a Rest API and verify that the expected messages are received.

I tried updating the Rest API and the Push API. I updated the FitNesse software to the latest version.

I am not getting any exceptions in the Windows Event Log when this happens.

Can anyone guide me as to how to find out what is going wrong?

  • Does it happen on each test execution? I've had a similar message at irregular intervals, but was unable to reproduce it consistently. So usually running the test again worked (did not show the error). – Fried Hoeben Sep 18 '16 at 10:12
  • I am starting to think it was something to do with networking. It was still working at work. Since I took the laptop home, it did not execute any (local) test and always fails with the errors mentioned. – tobre Sep 18 '16 at 16:15
  • Maybe you can use your browsers dev tools to see network requests sent to fitnesse. it sounds like some Ajax gone bad. Have you tried restarting fitnesse? – Fried Hoeben Sep 18 '16 at 16:43
  • My suspicion is confirmed. Back at work, the FitNesse Test start to work again. I take that as a sign that I should not have taken my work home. ;-) @Fied Hoeben: I tried many things including restarting FitNesse, restarting IIS, publishing my services countless times, restarting my PC. – tobre Sep 19 '16 at 06:25
  • Try this technique to see if the C# code is throwing an unexpected exception: http://www.asoftwarecraft.com/2010/01/troubleshooting-with-fitsharp-and.html – Mike Stockdale Sep 21 '16 at 23:06
