PackageDescription: FitBundle(Bundle)


Fit Bundle

Last published: August 30, 2017 by 'randy'

FitBundle contains all of the code, tests, and examples for Smalltalk Fit. It should only be needed if you plan to do any development on Smalltalk Fit itself.

To use the library, use the Fit package and optionally FitLibrary and FitLibrary-Internals. See the package comments on Fit and FitLibrary for more information.

# Smalltalk Fit

Smalltalk Fit is a Smalltalk implementation of Ward Cunningham's [Framework for Integrated Tests](http://fit.c2.com), [Fitnesse](http://www.fitnesse.org), and Rick Mugridge's [FitLibrary](http://fitlibrary.sourceforge.net).

This version contains the equivalent features of:
* fit-java-1.1
* fitnesse-20121220
* FitLibrary-2.0

I am using the GPL because this software is considered a derivative work of the original Fit and FitLibrary implementations in Java, and they are both licensed under the GPL, so I must use it. The use of the GPL in Smalltalk is complicated, and I am not a lawyer. My intention is that you may write Fit/FitLibrary tests for your software without causing your software to come under the terms of the GPL. The test fixture code you write necessarily comes under the GPL, because it likely inherits from base classes provided in the library. However, I consider there to be a "firewall" between the fixture code and the domain code as long as you keep them in separate packages. I believe that this is consistent with the original Java implementation, where your domain code would be in a separate .jar file from your test fixture code. If you have any questions about this, please contact me (see below for contact information).

Smalltalk Fit's primary home is the [Cincom Public Store Repository](http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/CincomSmalltalkWiki/Public+Store+Repository). Check there for the latest version. It is also on [GitHub](https://github.com/randycoulman/SmalltalkFit).

SmalltalkFit was developed in VW 7.9.1, but is compatible with VW 7.7 and later. If you find any incompatibilities with VW 7.7 or later, let me know (see below for contact information) or file an issue on GitHub.

# Acknowledgements

I inherited Smalltalk Fit from Dave Astels. He had a mostly working port of Fit done. I enhanced it and added Fitnesse and FitLibrary support.

Alan Wostenberg devised the simple file-based scheme that is used for running tests against a development image.
