Fitnesse is a lovely tool, although in the world of maintenance programming you have to bend it a bit to make use of it.  More annoyingly, however, the User Guide has a bunch of wrong information about how to use the tool.  If you have trouble getting into page properties, this post may help you out some.

Today I’ve been trying to get my head around Fitnesse, so far it seems pretty cool. One thing that confused me, that I found a neat solution for, is that the help often says press the test button on the page, but there was no test button…

So to get a test button you can click on the Properties button and tick the Test checkbox. That’s great, but what if there is no Properties button either? The same problem sometime happens when the ‘Edit’ button is missing.
