ERROR:com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to load project

Question

Hello Smartbear!&nbsp;Today I was working on a few testcases which I made inside one project. All of a sudden SoapUI crashed, and after restarting I could not reload my project it keeps giving me an error I have seen on the messageboards before but my project is not shared and it already is in UTF-8 I can't figure it out and I am freaking out just a little bit :)&nbsp;I am also getting a java nullpointer exception.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tested my XML on well formated/UTF-8&nbsp;Thu Nov 17 16:44:44 CET 2016:ERROR:com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to load project from file [file:/C:/Joeri/PRUS-prod-soapui-project.xml]com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to load project from file [file:/C:/XXXXX/soapui-project.xml]at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.loadProject(WsdlProject.java:318)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.&lt;init&gt;(WsdlProject.java:220)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProjectFactory.createNew(WsdlProjectFactory.java:58)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProjectFactory.createNew(WsdlProjectFactory.java:28)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.WorkspaceImpl.reloadProject(WorkspaceImpl.java:488)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.reload(WsdlProject.java:1354)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.actions.project.ReloadProjectAction.perform(ReloadProjectAction.java:54)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.actions.project.ReloadProjectAction.perform(ReloadProjectAction.java:32)at com.eviware.soapui.support.action.swing.SwingActionDelegate.actionPerformed(SwingActionDelegate.java:93)at com.eviware.soapui.support.action.swing.DefaultActionList.dispatchKeyEvent(DefaultActionList.java:119)at com.eviware.soapui.ui.Navigator$TreeKeyListener.keyPressed(Navigator.java:210)at java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.keyPressed(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Component.processKeyEvent(Unknown Source)at javax.swing.JComponent.processKeyEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.KeyboardFocusManager.redispatchEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.dispatchKeyEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.preDispatchKeyEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.typeAheadAssertions(Unknown Source)at java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source)at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue.access$200(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source)at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source)at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source)at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.support.RestRequestConverter.updateRestTestRequest(RestRequestConverter.java:321)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep.findRestMethod(RestTestRequestStep.java:334)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep.getRestMethod(RestTestRequestStep.java:378)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep.buildTestRequest(RestTestRequestStep.java:274)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep.&lt;init&gt;(RestTestRequestStep.java:110)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.registry.RestRequestStepFactory.buildTestStep(RestRequestStepFactory.java:66)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestCase.createTestStepFromConfig(WsdlTestCase.java:295)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestCase.&lt;init&gt;(WsdlTestCase.java:120)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlTestSuite.buildTestCase(WsdlTestSuite.java:107)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlTestSuite.&lt;init&gt;(WsdlTestSuite.java:89)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.buildTestSuite(WsdlProject.java:438)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.loadProjectFromInputStream(WsdlProject.java:379)at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.loadProject(WsdlProject.java:301)... 45 more
