Create Report after load test overwrites without warning

The Create Report option that is used to do data exporting of run statistics (csv files) after a load test has changed in release 4.6. In 4.5, the export file name text box remembered the last folder you exported to, and gave you the option of entering a file name. In 4.6, the folder text box is cleared so you have to keep re-entering the folder location, and it no longer asks for the export file name but uses the same file name as the last export-"LoadTestStatistics.csv"-and gives no warning that it's about to overwrite the existing file. In addition, the actual data exported has changed and there is a new first column containing color information (?) which of course means nothing to Excel when the CSV file is opened.

4.5 export data:
Test Step,min,max,avg,last,cnt,tps,bytes,bps,err,rat

I haven't a clue what to do with the color information but maybe it's a feature and not a bug?

To demonstrate the behavior:
1. Run a load test in soapUI PRo 4.6
2. Click on the "Create Report" icon
3. Format=Data Export, LoadTestStatistics check box, Format=CSV, Generate Header Row checked

  • Hi,

    thanks for your report.

    I have been able to reproduce all of this in all versions of SoapUI back to 4.0 (didn't look further back), so I guess something else must be involved here. We have also not touched the reports in 4.6, so there should really be no changes.

    Can you try 4.5.2 and see it behaves the same as 4.6?
