Incorrect location for SOAPUI_HOME in soapui.bat
Not sure, if any of you come accorss this problem.
1. Environment variable SOAPUI_HOME is defined, say c:\tools\smartbear\soapui4.5.1.
2. In the soapui project, there is a groovy script as a test step which calls a java program.
3. It will evaluate SOAPUI_HOME from
and that will be included in classpath as soapuiHome+'\bin\*'.
4. When test is run, it is being identified as c:\tools\smartbear\soapui4.5.1\bin\bin\* in classpath.
It took time for me to locate the problem as the same classpath on unix is working fine.
If you have noticed there is an additional bin in classpath while calling java program.
Then started looking at environment if there is any issue, could not found any thing.
At the end, noticed the following in %SOAPUI_HOME%\bin\soapui.bat which is causing this issue.
If you stare at line number two, where the problem is. It is overwriting users SOAPUI_HOME envronment variable to current directory which SOAPUI_HOME\bin. I believe, this is a defect.
If you look at soapui.sh, it will not set like this and that is the reason there is no issue when i run the java program in the groovy step.
The soapui.bat has been in the same way in soapui 4.5.1, 4.0 version at least, do not know about other versions. Hope Smart Bear team can take care of this.

echo Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.
