fitnesse: howto load a symbol with a result in query table

In a FitNesse query table, is it possible to load a symbol with the returned results?

example of what I would like to do:

|Query: GetPlayers|
| name  | age | ID    |
| jones | 36  | $ID1= |
| smith | 27  | $ID2= |

Or alternatively, just have one $ID symbol which is loaded with a collection.

Is this possible?

Solution

  • Unfortunately I believe this is still an unresolved issue in FitNesse. There is a PivotalTracker entry for it, that no one has take one yet: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/1893214. I've looked at it, but haven't been able to solve it myself.

    We currently work around this by having a driver that can do equivalent query. Then we get the value back from the query. It is much more cumbersome, but works for now.

    I completely agree that this should be possible. But as far as I know, it has not been fixed yet.
