Fitnesse ArrayFixture: my simple example

Recently I've been fighting with Fitnesse, specifically a pyFit server, trying to get an ArrayFixture to run properly. The only example of ArrayFixture I could find was the generic one. Here is a better example of ArrayFixture.

I'm calling this from within a DoFixture, mind you, so sorry if there's that added complication, but you should be able to figure out what's happening based on this.

class LwRow(object):

  _typeDict = {}

  def __init__(self):
      self.rowNumber  = None  ; self._typeDict['rowNumber' ] = "Int"
      self.indent     = None  ; self._typeDict['indent'    ] = "Int"
      self.refobjType = None  ; self._typeDict['refobjType'] = "String"
      self.refobjId   = None  ; self._typeDict['refobjId'  ] = "Int"
      self.sNumber    = None  ; self._typeDict['sNumber'   ] = "String"
      # ... blah more here...

  def name(self):
      self._typeDict['name'] = "String"
      return self.linkOrgEditContractorText or '' 
         
def getSetOfRowObjects(self):
  rows = []
  obj = LwRow()
  obj.rowNumber = 1
  obj.indent    = 3
  # ... more setting here...
  rows.append(obj)
  # blah, repeat, appending more rows...
  return rows
         
class ReviewLwsArrayFixture(ArrayFixture):

  def __init__(self, p, c, dr, user, trans=None):
      ArrayFixture.__init__(self)
      rows = []
      #... do stuff here to retrieve data...
      retData = getSetOfRowObjects()
      print "Have retData=%s" % (pformat(retData))

      # THESE ARE PRO-FORMA, MUST BE HERE:
      self.paramCollection = retData
      self.setActualCollection()

  def getTargetClass(self):
      return LwRow

def reviewLwsArrayAsUserPpCcDrUser(self, p, c, dr, user, trans):
  return self.ReviewLwsArrayFixture(p=p, c=c, dr=dr, user=user, trans=trans)


# then you can write your UAT /  Fitnesse code as follows.
# Note that I can use ANY attribute of the lwRow object without declaring it
# in my arrayfixture code (I have LwRow declared in a non-fixture related module)

|review lws array as user | gcUser| pp | p1 | cc | c1 | dr| Dr1 |
|rowNumber|name|indent|refobj type|
|1|manual name one|Manual|False|
|2|subMc1|LW Sub|True|
|3|subMc2|LW Sub|True|
|4|subMc3|LW Sub|True|


and / or:

|review lws array as user | gcUser| pp | p1 | cc | c1 | dr| Dr1 |
|rowNumber|name|sNumber|
|1|x|62|
|2|y|63|
|3|z|64|
|4|z|46|
|5|z|55|
|6|z|63|
|7|q|64|

That's it!
