How to uppercase a String in FitNesse automation

Question

I'm using FitNesse tool to automate some task and I need to insert a String in uppercase. I'm not sure if there is a fixture by default in Fitnesse to do this or how to import a java lib into FitNesse wiki script , any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

To add a directory, or .jar to the classpath accessible to the wiki use !path. Your wiki can then access the classes, so you could call a method to convert a string to uppercase from a table (the method would be considered a 'fixture method' then).

An introduction on how wiki pages and Java code interact can be found in the user guide: http://www.fitnesse.org/FitNesse.FullReferenceGuide.UserGuide.WritingAcceptanceTests.FixtureCode

I would recommend using the Slim test system for new tests, but if you have existing tests they might use Fit. Test fixtures for each test system run in their own process so they cannot share state.
