Another issue I had is that one of the guys in the class yesterday downloaded the jar and tried to use it. However, since they used 1.5, and a version of fitnesse that runs under 1.5, things didn't work. We got the message about slim not being able to construct GivWenZen, but no indication as to why. It took us a while to figure out that it was a class version issue. When I rebuilt the source under 1.5, everything worked. So I think the jar should be built using 1.5. I tried using the 1.5 version with the 1.6 version of fitnesse and it works fine.

Remove the givenwezen-read-only it is not needed. Check the settings in c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Subversion\config to see if you have proxy settings there. Also, try it from home and no proxy. I have only accessed this outside the sabre proxy. Will try inside.
Will also see if I can get the site to not show the givwenzen-read-only in the url.

Cool!
I am having a problem downloading the source. When I try "svn checkout http://givwenzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ givwenzen-read-only" I get an error saying
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://givwenzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': Could not resolve hostname `givwenzen.googlecode.com': The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. (http://givwenzen.googlecode.com <http://givwenzen.googlecode.com/> )
Don't know if it is a firewall/proxy issue or what. I'll investigate further.

It is done!!! well, the project has a site now anyway. J Please review the project for me. http://code.google.com/p/givwenzen/ Please help me find errors in the front page and wiki when you have a moment. Also, make sure you can get to the source and build it.
You should be able to run java -jar ./lib/fitnesse.jar and go to http://localhost/FrontPage from the root directory from the trunk and run the example too if everything is successful in the source.
Thanks again for your help with this and hopefully going forward.
Kelly, I am looking forward to adding links to your .net and c++ versions when they are open sourced too.

Don't worry too much about it. Ruby is completely different language than java. There are zillions of projects that cannot afford ruby/java hybrid guru developers J

New BDD tool (unfortunately much of the cool stuff is in Ruby L or some other dynamic language) http://www.infoq.com/news/2009/09/introducing-coulda

The obvious stuff is gone so now let me try a little out of the box irreverence (some you'll need to say out loud to see how they relate)
At least it might spark some other ideas.
GiveWhenThen
GivWenDen
GivWenZen < - I like this the best(SZ)
GeeWeeDee
Three Step Boogie (SZ)
Test Step Boogie (SZ)
Test Two Three (SZ)
StateIt - (a nod to Martin's State Engine view of BDD)
Stater
SayIt
BeadyDee (i.e. "BDD")
EZAsk
To the end of any of the above you could add
Scenario
CNario
SeeNario? (he was just here a minute ago..)
Stepper
Fixture
Fixer
AddOn
Extender
Extension
Asker (Axeher? Hmm. probably not)
Test Widget
Glue
Bridge
Appender

Ok, I hear your vote. But it still gives it a name that ties it to fitnesse. Since there is no fitnesse code or dependency it could technically be used outside of fitnesse. Although I have only used it with FitNesse. I do like the GWT4F though. hmm.
Wait for other thoughts.

I like given-when-then for fitnesse: GWT4F :D
Somehow I like to promote the essence of a great test: The Three Steps.

Guys,
As I am preparing to open source the given when then step executor code I would like your input on what to actually call it. Here are the names it has had since I started coding it.
· Given then when for fitnesse - I do not like this because it is not tied to fitnesse but usable by fitnesse and potentially other tools
· BDD Fixture - again not very accurate as it is not a fixture but a framework that could be used from fixtures
· BDD Step Executor - Current name, accurate but not very sexy J
For Mike and Jay who have not used it let me give a little more definition:
BDD Step Executor allows a user to use the BDD <http://behaviour-driven.org/> give when then <http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/given-when-then> vocabulary and plain text sentences to help a team get the words right <http://behaviour-driven.org/GettingTheWordsRight> and create a ubiquitous language <http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?UbiquitousLanguage> to describe and test a business domain.
The idea was taken from cucumber and my desire to create cucumber like specifications and tests in FitNesse. Like cucumber, the BDD step executor does not distinguish between given when and then though a test should. Regular expression parsing is used to determine what step method should be executed for each given when then step in a test. Regular expression parsing is also used to find parameters to the step method.
Example:
|given|the date is tomorrow|
This step could execute a method like:
@BDDStep("the date is (.*)"
Public void theDateIs(Date date) {
// do something
}
The parameters to the method are converted from the string to the object type via java's property editor support.
