FitNesse: Show image with dynamic source

I have a method that returns the path to an image, and I want to show that image in the test output.

Is this possible?

!|script             |Image             |
|# Url() returnes "http://files/img.jpg"|
|$img=               |Url               |

# I want to see the image at http://files/img.jpg
$img

# Does fitnesse support any templating so that I can do
<img src="$img" />

I'm using FitNesse with FitSharp.

Solution

  • You can't render an image directly from a URL as far as I know. BUT you can have your fixture return an image to be included in the HTML output.

    If you add a method Image() which returns "<div><img src\"" + Url() + "\"/></div>" your script can become:

    !|script             |Image             |
|show                |Image             |

    You can see an example of this in action (using Java Slim) in the rows using the take screenshot command of my fixtures in https://fhoeben.gitlab.io/-/hsac-fitnesse-fixtures/-/jobs/2569203409/artifacts/example-results/example-test-1/HsacExamples.SlimTests.BrowserTests.ScriptTest.html
