How do I minimize merge conflicts in a ReadyApi composite project when working as part of a team?

A coworker and I are working on testing an API with ReadyAPI and SoapUI NG. We are collaborating using git and have set the project to be composite. There is an expectation that we will use feature b...

You shouldn't need to convert back to non composite to run via TestRunner (how we and I assume you are running from Jenkins). I ran a quick test to double check, first I created a new project and ran via the command line, and then converted to composite (deleting the old non-composite XML file) and then ran again, adjusting the command line to point at the directory and all worked fine.

 

Non-Composite Project

 

command: cmd.exe /C testrunner.bat "-sTestSuite 1" "-cTestCase 1" "-RTestCase Report" "-EDefault environment" C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AdHoc-ReadyAPI\Project-CLI-Test-soapui-project.xml

 

 

Composite Project

 

command: cmd.exe /C testrunner.bat "-sTestSuite 1" "-cTestCase 1" "-RTestCase Report" "-EDefault environment" C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AdHoc-ReadyAPI\Project-CLI-Test-soapui-project

 

 

Note: I generated and ran these command lines with the the TestRunner GUI.

 

My only real comment about with composite projects is I would use at least Ready API 1.8, as looking at the release notes, there were lots of composite project fixes.

I guess it would be strange for some to hear that we are not using TestRunner. I've seen from a SmartBear webinar that Temil(if I recall it correctly) copy the line with test runner definitions from SoapUI and pasted it on a file. However, the file being used is .bat so I supposed it's Windows Batch file. I was told by my seniors that batch files are slower so we decided to use Maven instead since it will be faster and we were able to load it at Jenkins which was what was required from us. I've used Ready!API 1.9 trial before. I think early this year, but I haven't used it with a composite project that time since that time, one just informs the other that he has some modifications so he will do a commit first. A give and take with Git. Those were the days. If they already had it fixed then that would be great :-)

    Ahh... I always forget people running with Maven, probably because I don't have experience with it, sorry for any confusion caused.

      No worries. I haven't had any experience with it before this job so I've also looked around the forums/community for some setup details. I've also asked about it during the webinar but I wasn't able to get a clear answer. I guess I'm just lucky that I got to work with another senior tester who was able to figure it out :manhappy:
