reports are generated unncessarily

Hi

I have recently found that when I run our soaPUI projects, I could see three folders related to reports are created and shown for check-in into source control system. I do not intend them to check-in. However I am not sure what option I might have enabled in the soapUI that is causing these report folders getting created.

The folders are
<soapUI project folder>/reports
<soapUI project folder>/reports/reports
<soapUI project folder>/reports/subreports

Please refer below screen shot:


All our projects are composite and I am using soapUI-Pro 4.5.2 on Windows 7.

Can you help? How can I stop generating these reports?

Thanks.

    Set the reports folder to svn:ignore.

    Hi,

    As SiKing suggested, most version control software will let you ignore specific files and folders so that they are not checked in.
    Please see the documentation for your VCS to find out how to do this.

    Yeah I know, however I want to know in the first instance, why these reports are generated? How can I stop them generating.

    We use RTC as a version control tool and similar file called .jazzignore is created to ignore certain files. Actually I am more interested to know answer for earlier statement.

    Thanks

    In File -> Preferences -> SoapUI Pro, select the Disable Reporting check box.

    That setting has no effect on the reports folder that the OP is talking about.

    I suspect that this is just a skeleton directory structure that SoapUI creates, regardless whether it needs it or not. This is similar to when you are installing SoapUI and you are asked if you want to download LoadUI and you answer "no"; you still get a %UserProfile%/tempLoadUI folder created.

    Hi,

    We're glad there's a workaround for the problem with unnecessary directories being generated. The development team will have a look at this and add the removal of this annoyance to the backlog.

    Kind regards,
    Manne
