ReadyAPI 3.1.0 (and also older versions) freezes when saving project (both save & save as)

ReadyAPI freezes when saving project (both save & save as). 

It seems that the appication creates and writes everything to a temp file (project-tem-xxxxx) and then trying to write back to the original project file (some bytes writes back but not everything) and the whole application is freezing. 

This is as you understand very serious issue with the application so it should be fixed ASAP.

I have tried a maintenance and older version and the same problem occurs.

I suspect that it has something to do with the enviroment and the computer settings.

I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad and other settings could be find in the attached pictures.

 

 

Hope you fix the bug or assist a work around if there is any.

    Thank you everyone for participation in this thread!

     

    Nasseredin I don't think this has something to do with the project size to be honest. Try disabling the following option and let us know if it helps (the screenshot I have at the moment is for an older version):

     

    If this doesn't help, please make sure to open a support case and send your project to the support team, thank you!

    Yesterday, i was pushing my work to Git and then i encountered 1 thing :

     

    1. Earlier push size was around 2 MB

    2. Current push size is around 10 MB, then i investegated more, then i encountered that in 2 TestCases i have uploaded 1 pdf file, and i have click on ok(attached image pop-up), which increases the size of my project,

     

    and as i delete that file, again the size of project gets reduced to 2 MB. So, this is my finding on how the size of project gets incresed.

     

    Hope this will help you too in solving your issue.

        Hi Nasseredin, did you have a chance to try disabling the setting as I've suggestd earlier?

        Please share your progress with us.

    You can open support case of the the issue is happening persistently.

    Does it. Also happen if an empty project is created and saved, then try building the tests?

    Is your current project simple or composite? And how big

    Have you tried increasing max heap size in . vmoptions file? May be worth to try if not already.

    Was this project working smoothly in earlier version?

      Answer: It happens 9 times of 10

      Answer: No.

      Is your current project simple or composite? And how big 

       

      Answer: The project is a simple project ca. 11.5 MB

      Have you tried increasing max heap size in . vmoptions file? May be worth to try if not already.

       

      Answer: Yes.


      Was this project working smoothly in earlier version?

       

      Answer: On the current PC none of the earlier version is working properly. The same project works without any issue on antoher PC also Lenovo Thinkpad but with dubble RAM. So I think that ReadyAPI has problem memory issue when it come to PC with 16 GB RAM och less.

    TanyaYatskovska and sonya_m  :

     

    do we have any option in SoapUI where we can reduce the size of our porject if it is too large.

     

    As in this case the project size is around 10 MB, which i am also seeing 1st time as currently my project size is around 1 MB but it can a good learning for future if project size gets increase this much.

      If I were to do, split the project into multiple logical parts. Of course, each project needs to have the same wsdl / rest service definitions as the test cases referring them.

      But, the issue comes in the maintenance such updating the resources / service definitions etc., and making these changes manually. So, have some utility programs which does this kind of tasks.
