Hello,

There is a quick and dirty way to get access to the groovy log in loadUI, but it definately needs improving.

First you have to edit the soapui-log4j.xml file in the loadUI installation directory and add the following in the logger section:


   <logger name="groovy.log">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
      <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
   </logger>


You can change CONSOLE to FILE if you prefer logging to a file.

Then you have to enable the Java console. For Windows: Open the Control Panel and find and open the Java control panel. Under "Advanced" there is a setting to show the Java-console, which needs to be enabled. This is a global setting for Java, and will cause the Java console to open alongside any Java program, and it's currently the only way to view the soapUI groovy log in real-time.
