How to get FitNesse root or page folder in FitSharp

Question

Recently I encountered this problem and have searched a lot but no solution by now. Does somebody know how I can get the root directory or the page folder of FitNesse in FitSharp fixture codes? One of the troubles is that we have a lot of existing pages arranged in different suites and I want to add some new features to all these pages requiring an absolute path of FitNesse folder. Using a fixture together with the environmental parameter in pages could require a lot of effort. I was even trying to use hard configuration in app.config for example!

Big thanks in advance! Looking forward to your kind answer.

Answer 1

The root path is available as a FitNesse predefined variable. Pass that into a fixture that can expose it as a property. This could go in a setup page.

|rootpath|
|load|${FITNESSE_ROOTPATH}|

public class RootPath {
  public static string Path;
  public void Load(string value) { Path = value;}
}
