[Reg]soapui doesn't load plugins when running testrunner.bat

Hello,
I have a custom plugin and followed Ole's blog on how to create the plugin so that you can put the plugin under soapui/bin/plugins. There seems to be a bug in com.eviware.soapui.DefaultSoapUICore class in how it is loading plugins. The issue is that if I run testrunner.bat from the same directory, everything works fine (example below)

D:\soapUI-Test\SoapUI-Pro-4.6.3\bin>testrunner.bat "C:\Users\araza\soapUI-Tutorials\sample-soapui-project.xml" "-Dmode=QC -shttp tests" "-cTestCase 1" "-j" "-fC:\Reports"

However, if I run testrunner.bat from a different directory, the plugins are not loaded. In our use case, testrunner.bat is called from a browser based activeX application and it generally invokes windows command prompt from something like C:\temp\...

C:\>cd foo

Can this be fixed in the nightly release as it is breaking our plugin.

Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting this, I have created a ticket (SOAP-1525) in the internal bug tracker for the prioritization from the Product Owner.
    The immediate remedy is to add 
     cd %SOAPUI_HOME%
    after line 
    set SOAPUI_HOME=%~dp0
    in testrunner.bat.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi Prakash,
    I made the changes as you suggested, but I don't see the plugins folder being loaded.

    Here is my testrunner.bat

    @echo off

    set SOAPUI_HOME=%~dp0
    cd %SOAPUI_HOME%

    if exist "%SOAPUI_HOME%..\jre\bin" goto SET_BUNDLED_JAVA

    if exist "%JAVA_HOME%" goto SET_SYSTEM_JAVA

    echo JAVA_HOME is not set, unexpected results may occur.
    echo Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.
    goto SET_SYSTEM_JAVA

    :SET_BUNDLED_JAVA
    set JAVA=%SOAPUI_HOME%..\jre\bin\java
    goto END_SETTING_JAVA

    :SET_SYSTEM_JAVA
    set JAVA=java

    :END_SETTING_JAVA

    rem init classpath

    set CLASSPATH=%SOAPUI_HOME%soapui-pro-4.6.3.jar;%SOAPUI_HOME%..\lib\*;

    rem JVM parameters, modify as appropriate
    set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties -Dgroovy.source.encoding=iso-8859-1 "-Dsoapui.home=%SOAPUI_HOME%\"

    if "%SOAPUI_HOME%\" == "" goto START
        set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsoapui.ext.libraries="%SOAPUI_HOME%ext"
        set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsoapui.ext.listeners="%SOAPUI_HOME%listeners"
        set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsoapui.ext.actions="%SOAPUI_HOME%actions"

    :START

    rem ********* run soapui testcase runner ***********

    "%JAVA%" %JAVA_OPTS% -cp "%CLASSPATH%" com.eviware.soapui.SoapUIProTestCaseRunner %*


    output from testrunner.bat. Notice that the plugin is not loaded

    Sorry, I missed that the directory is also different in your case.

    Use "cd /d %SOAPUI_HOME%" rather than "cd %SOAPUI_HOME%".
