Error Running Soapui

Hi,

I have been using soap ui for couple of years now.

Few weeks back, I restarted my machine and hence soapui client and once the machine came up I had trouble starting soapui client.

I then installed 2.5.1 but same error starting the client.

I then uninstalled an application that was installed in last few days but I still get same error.

Pasting below the error msg's. Please help.

Thanks
Atul

    Hello,

    It looks like your workspace file (default-soapui-workspace.xml) is corrupted, try renaming it and opening soapUI. Then re-import your projects.

    Regards,

    I am having exactly the same issue. I had 4 projects with a lot of tests in it. Today suddenly when I open soapUI these project do not load. I get the same error. On trying the above suggestion only one was able to be resolved. The other 4 still give the same error.
    Please help as all my tests are at risk of losing them.

    Can you try the following:
    - Change the default settings in "bin\soapui.bat", "bin\soapui.sh", "bin\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1.vmoptions" for Windows or "Contents/vmoptions.txt" for Mac
    - Add the following parameter to JVM startup without the quotes:
    "-Dfile.encoding=UTF8"
    - Save the file and restart SoapUI Pro

    Hello Michael

    I tried as you requested the following.

    1. bin\soapui.bat I added to the below

    rem JVM parameters, modify as appropriate
    set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties "-Dsoapui.home=%SOAPUI_HOME%\"

    2. bin\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1.vmoptions

    -Xms128m
    -Xmx1000m
    -Dfile.encoding=UTF8

    3. I could not find bin\soapui.sh. I searched in all the directories but this file does not exit.

    I still get the same error. I have attached the files for your reference.

    Hi,

    the attachments did not go through. Please attach one of the project XML files that are failing to load. There's a chance that the file itself is corrupted.
