Hi Nellimite,

 

The project format was changed in SoapUI 5.1. Thus, old composite projects aren’t opened in the new product version. You can do the following:

  1. Install SoapUI earlier than 5.1
  2. Open your composite project in this SoapUI version
  3. Save it as a usual project
  4. Open this project in SoapUI 5.1
  5. Make you project composite in SoapUI 5.1

Does it work?

No it doesnt. 

I have saved a copy if the origina project, not a composite project.

I open the project and choose save as (save a copy of the non composite project in a different folder)
I change this project to composite - true (Project property - composite project - drop down - true)

Then I right click choose save project as and then choose a newly, empty, folder that the composite project can be saved in. 

SoapUI Pro 5.1.2 converts the project to composite project, creates folder sturcture etc. 

 

The converted project can be opened by other members in my team but when i try to open this i get a grayed out project with a red cross 

 

I also cannot open any other project that is a composit project with my soapUi Pro 5.1.2 (i have also tried to un install and reinstall the project, with the same result)

    Hi,

     

    Did I get it right that the same project is successfully launched on different computers?

    In this case, let’s try the following on your computer:

    1. Remove all projects from the Ready! API Workspace or rename/more the following file:

        C:\Users\<UserName>\default-soapui-workspace.xml

     

    1. Try to open the project one more time.
    2. When opening, make sure that you are specifying the folder where the composite project is stored, not the project files.

     

    If this doesn’t help, I would appreciate it if you record a video demonstrating the steps you performed. To record a video, you can use Jing - a free screen capture tool ( http://www.jingproject.com ).

      No it idnt solve anything,  (also asked my fellow team member to convert using their copy of 5.1.2 and see if i could open it with my copy of 5.1.2 but i got the same problem.

       

      However, I uninstalled and removed all things soapui 5.1.2 in my computer, (with the added "benefit" of losing all my settings)

      Installed the 5.1.0 version that i had downloaded previously. NOW i could open the project that I converted before.

      The error message I got this time sas 
      "The composite project [x] appears to be saved in the old file format, it will be converted into the new format and saved in the new directory x_new"

       

      Due to the nature of the work i am doing i cannot film or attache the files as is, as it s a secuity issue.
