ERROR [AbstractTestRunner] Exception during Test Execution

Do you have steps to reproduce?

yes still we are getting same error , The soapUI version we are using is 4.6.4 (free version) our request is as follows. Again please note that we are getting this error when we execute this on command line and working fine in SOAPUI GUI

You do understand that this useless, right?
Without your project, and/or detailed steps to reproduce, there is absolutely nothing that anyone can help you with. Even if you insist on posting the exact same request for help over and over, will still not help.

What did you do? Need exact steps, so that I can try and reproduce this on my machine.
What did you expect to happen? Why?
What did you try so far to resolve your problem?

Ok , sorry for that , unfortunately I can not upload the xml due to regulations and Also difficult to tell exact scenario because getting same error for lots of different scenarios. but if I mention very basic one,

http://<Server>/DEMO/patient/<PatientID>@<Namespace>/problems/genericproblems/summary

So if we sent a patient ID who does not have Problems , then its should return following response.

<Response xmlns="http://<Server>/DEMO/patient/<PatientID>@<Namespace>/problems/genericproblems/summary">

As a trouble shoot , we executed using different versions like 4.5.2 , 4.6.2 , and 4.6.4 . also all the assertions are written using Groovy. executed with out and with assertions and getting same error.

Also found this error on "soapui-error.log"

Thanks for your collaboration

Still nothing useful for me to be able to reproduce or understand this.
Can you run your test case one step a time? Narrow it down to the exact step at which point the test fails. Then look at that step.
Can you turn off all assertions, and turn them back on one at a time? Narrow it down to the exact assertion at which point the test fails. Then look at that assertion.

Thanks for the reply , I found the problem. We have defined the server parameter as a global variable for maintenance purposes to direct entire test suite for different servers.
So we added the server details as a variable on preferences --> Global Properties : as EndPoint = http://TestServer:19080

So my URL would be ${#Global#EndPoint}/DEMO/patient/PatientID@OP/problems/genericproblems/summary

Seems testrunner is not happy about this , however SOAP testcases are working fine in this way.But in GUI it's working for both REST and SOAP. As a workaround I defined the variable in project level not as the global. then works fine.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and please need help to overcome this.

Global variables are defined in the settings file. You will need the -t switch as described here: http://www.soapui.org/Test-Automation/f ... tests.html
FYI: this is very poor practice. You should use Project-level properties.

ok , thanks for your help.
