How to run soapUI on Linux without graphical interface

Guys,

I'm trying to run soapUI on Linux without a graphical interface (none is available on the machine I have available). Installation went fine but when I try to run a soapUI project I get the following error message:

Failed to create icon: java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Is it even possible? If so, how?

    Hi Jan,

    You can run a SoapUI test using the 'TestRunner' - the CLI version of SoapUI. However, in order to work with a project, you will need a GUI. You could create the SoapUI projects on a local Windows environment, and then physically execute the tests on your linux machine using the TestRunner. For more information, see http://www.soapui.org/Test-Automation/f ... tests.html

    Kind regards,
    Tim
