Findings soapUI pro 4.5 Beta 1 on Mac OS X Lion

Hi,

I tried the new 4.5 Beta of SoapUI pro and encountered following issues:

Pipes ('|') in resource paths are not handled correct: Using a '|' in a template parameter will remove complete path; this means that request is going to http://localhost instead of http://localhost/service/resource/<parameter>.
Error message is:
ERROR:java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 34: http://localhost/service/layer/usr|test

Percent encoding the template parameter does not work, because soapUI encodes '%' symbol. E.g. parameter usr%7Ctest will be encoded to usr%257Ctest

And I cannot enter any symbol that requires ALT + another key combination in the payload text field on request window. So I am unable to enter JSON because I am unable to enter {,},[ and ] for example. Copy and paste works, though.

    Hi,

    Thanks for this - we'll look into the ALT-key issue. Regarding the endpoints - hm... - what if you encode it and select the "Preencoded Endpoints" option in the global HTTP Settings?

    regards!

    Hi,

    checking "Do not URL-escape service endpoints" fixes only part of the problem. The requests work now, but the API still encodes the URLs. The following code does not work (SubmitListener.beforeSubmit event):


    Request request = submit.getRequest();
    RestRequestInterface rif = (RestRequestInterface) request;
    String endpoint = request.getEndpoint();
    String fullLink = RestUtils.expandPath(request.getResource().getFullPath(), request.getParams(), rif);
    String method = endpoint + fullLink;
    log.info("Get REST resource/method=" + method);

    Log output is

    Fri Mar 09 14:44:28 CET 2012:INFO:Get REST resource/method=http://localhost/service/usr%257Ctest

    We need the correct resource URL to do AWS authentication.

    Also, another (minor) issue: Quitting SoapUI with "cmd-Q" does *not* save the projects, even if "Automatically save all projects on exit" is checked. Very annoying if you worked on a new project and accidentally press "cmd-Q" before saving manually ...

    Hi,

    just retested with Beta 2:

    • Entering square and curly brackets works now. But some ALT+key combinations also open menu list (e.g. ALT+f for File Menu).

    • Using pipe symbol in template parameters still result in

    • CMD+Q still closes soapUI without saving.


    My second biggest problem (entering brackets) has been fixed. If you solve the encoding problem of pipes then I would be perfectly happy.

    Thank you very much.
