BUG: Command-line param -P is not considered in Load Script

Version 5.4.0

I'm setting project property when executing from command line -Penvironment=overridden

See attached *.bat file

 

But the passed value is ignored in Load Script

It is considered only in test case

 

See global-groovy.log I'm printing the same property in Load Script and in test case, but the printed values are different.

 

soapUI project is attached as well.

    Can you use a TestSuite Setup Script instead of the Project load script?

      As a workaround I added test suite "Precondtitions" with test case "Preconditions" containing Groovy script at the beginning of the test project

      def env = context.testCase.getProject().getPropertyValue("environment")

      ... using variable env

       

      It reads a correct parameter value.

       

      You suggestion may work, but it's just a workaround as well.

      I'd need to keep this test suite at the beginning of the project.

        Any plans to fix this issue?

        With my (the only working) workaround it's impossible to run a particular test case from command line, because TestRunner Command-Line Arguments c/s :  accept only 1 test/suite name. And I need at least two names to run a particular test suite (Precondition test/suite + desired test/suite)

    Would you please try to change the contents of your batch file as below and give it a try?

     

    "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.4.0\bin\testrunner.bat" -Penvironment=overridden -f "C:\Temp\" -raj "C:\Temp\temp2.xml"

      Suggested by you command line is invalid.

      Probably wrong parameters order.
