I am trying to execute testrunner from a location other than readyapi_home\bin\testrunner.bat   I've tried several different ways of doing this and tried searching the forums but can't seem to find...

    May be you are true, I may not understand the point and that why I asking for information.

     

    See how would any one know how one is using a product unless it is told.

     

    I would like to remind you that this forum is public and open for all the members. And I believe you know how to contact SmartBear support.

     

    • ready-api.bat/sh can be invoked without any parameters, so shortcuts works.
    • where as testrunner.bat/sh needs parameter. so it can't be applied the same above rule and use it using shortcut. has to be deal differently.

    Here is how I would do it:

    #1: when options and project to execute are variable

    • Add READYAPI_HOME\bin to PATH environment variable
    • open command prompt and run testrunner.bat <options> [note that you do not have to go READYAPI_HOME\bin directory to invoke]

    #2: when options  and project are fixed

    • create a batch file with absolute path of testurnner along with all the options
    • run this batch file from command line or create a short cut for this file

    I believe you need to use the following contents in batch file:


    cd C:\Program Files\SmartBear\ReadyAPI-1.7.0-m-SNAPSHOT\bin

    call testrunner.bat <options>

For the reasons I already listed above.

 

I take it this means you are unable to answer my question or provide me with any meaningful assistance? I don't understand why you responded to me at all. I am on a support forum asking for help. If you can't offer help what is the point of responding?

 

Also, we currently use this model with the Linux version and it works better for us this way. Just because you don't see the need for it does not make it incorrect.

    Hi Rao,

     

    I'm having similar issue on SoapUI free version. When I run the SoapUI project from the command line its perfectly working but when I build it through TeamCity and run it then I'm getting the following errors..

     

    Error: Could not find or load main class com.eviware.soapui.tools.JfxrtLocator
    Error: Could not find or load main class com.eviware.soapui.tools.SoapUITestCaseRunner

     

    Tried to fix it in different ways but still getting the same errors. Could you give any solution how to fix this? What could be the causes of it? Any details how to run it through teamcity would be helpful.

     

    Thanks,

    Regards,

    Rakesh.
