This README is about setting up your system to do QuickFIX/n development.

System Setup

This project requires the following:

To build and run tests

  • Ruby (1.9.3 recommended) (used to generate message and field classes from the DataDictionary xml file)
  • From the command-line: dotnet 2.0.0 or higher
  • From Visual Studio: version 2017 or higher

Code Generation

To regenerate the message and field class source from the Data Dictionaries, you need Ruby and the Nokogiri gem:

gem install nokogiri -v 1.6.8.1
generate.bat

(Nokogiri versions 1.7+ require Ruby 2.0, so we must use this older version.)

Build

To build the project, run:

build.bat

You can also override the default configuration (Release) by giving a command line argument:

build.bat Debug

The build.bat script expects dotnet to be on your PATH.

Alternatively, simply use the dotnet tools.

Unit Tests

To run the NUnit tests, run:

unit_test.bat

(This script expects dotnet to be on your PATH.)

TRX reports of the test results (one each for NET Framework 4.5.2 and NET Standard 2.0) will then be available here:

UnitTests\TestResults

Alternatively, simply use dotnet:

dotnet test UnitTests

To run a Unit Test in the debugger:

  1. Open the TestExplorer from Test -> Windows -> Test Explorer
  2. Navigate to the test
  3. Right-click and select "Debug Selected Tests"

Acceptance Tests

To run the full suite of acceptance tests:

acceptance_test.ps1

An HTML report of the test results will then be available here:

AcceptanceTests\AcceptanceTests.html

To run one particular acceptance test, e.g. fix42\14e_IncorrectEnumValue.def:

cd AcceptanceTest
runat.ps1 release 5003 definitions\server\fix42\14e_IncorrectEnumValue.def cfg\at_42.cfg

(See acceptance_test.ps1 for the proper port numbers and config files to use in the above command.)

The test results will then be available in AcceptanceTests\TestResults.xml and debug information will be available in the AcceptanceTests\log directory.

To run a test with the debugger,

  1. Open the solution file in Visual Studio
  2. Right click on "AcceptanceTest" project and choose "Properties" from the menu
  3. Click "Debug" on the left hand nav bar
  4. Set "Command line arguments" to the relevant "cfg\at_XX.cfg" for your test
  5. Set the working directory to "[yourpath]\quickfixn\AcceptanceTest"
  6. Save the properties
  7. Right click the "AcceptanceTest" project, go to Debug -> Start New Instance
  8. In command terminal, go into "AcceptanceTest" directory
  9. Run: ruby Runner.rb 127.0.0.1 5001 definitions\server\fix42\YourTestName.def
