Get help with testing, discuss unit testing strategies etc.

I've downloaded the trial of Siesta but when I try to run any of the examples all of the tests get a red X against them immediately after clicking Run All and nothing further happens. The test result window just says "Test suite has not been launched yet".

Any help would be appreciated as I think Siesta could be really handy for us.

Are you running it in a web server? It uses Ajax....

Hi, I have the same problem. How do I start the webserver?
I follow the tutorial and get into Siesta @ C:\yourproject\tests\index.html as in I can see my tests in the left menu, but i cannot run them.
I get the "Test suite has not been launched yet" msg.

Cheers
Magnus

How do you open the examples? You need to use a local webserver and have something like: "https://localhost/yourproject" in the address bar, and _not_ the "file:///yourproject/"

Hi, ok, so I do not know how to "use a local webserver". With other tools I have used that runs like a webserver i.e. FitNesse I type java -jar fitnesse.jar -p 8080 to run an instance of fitnesse. But I cannot find a .jar file or .bat file in the siesta folder?

Thanx

Are you on windows, mac, unix, linux? I use windows, just start a local IIS server. Siesta itself doesn't include a webserver component.

I type https://localhost/ and get the IIS7 page so I guess I am running IIS allready?

Just need to create a new iis site and point it to where you keep your test files, or to the siesta trial folder for now.

Hi, I have made an IIS site and pointed it to where my tests are (C:\yourproject\tests).
I navigate to https://localhost:9999/index.html and get what is attached. Obviously something does not work here.
Could you see what? Some buttons are missing...
