May be this is not a solution, but you could try restarting the tool after update of the script and see if that helps.

    Yes , but that is very annoying if everytime I have to restart the Tool . As per script library documentation the Tool should recompile / refresh all the classes every 5 seconds which dioesn't seems to be the case?

     

    Is Smart Bear putting false documentation or is it a bug?

     

    Documentation:

     

    Groovy Script Library

    The Script Library can be used as follows;

    • Specify which directory to use in the SoapUI Preferences tab (default is /scripts). SoapUI will check this directory for files with the "Groovy" extension and compile these upon startup. The directory is then checked periodically (every 5 seconds) for updates and new or existing scripts are compiled and re-compiled if necessary.
    • Scripts should be placed in directories named after their containing package, that is a script in the package soapui.demo should be in a soapui/demo directory under the specified scripts directory.
    • The compiled classes are added to the parent class loader of all Groovy scripts, you can access them as standard java classes.

      Not sure of the details.

      Any ways, you should be able to report the same to SmartBear team using below link:

      https://support.smartbear.com

      By the way, do you update the scripts from with in ReadyAPI tool or using any IDE ?

        Thanks for the link! Yes , I update it using the Ready API Tool but wanted to keep the Groovy scripts outside such that it can be used by the Community .
