running soapUI Pro testcases with soapUI (free)

Question

Hi,we are using soapUI Pro 3.6.1.One of our users created a testcase with soapUI Pro and tried to run it via testrunner.bat. But therefore he didn't use soapUI Pro but soapUI (free). As a result he got an error message:   [ ] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/eviware/soapui/SoapUIProTestCaseRunner   [ ] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.eviware.soapui.SoapUIProTestCaseRunner   [ ]  at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)   [ ]  at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)   [ ]  at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)   [ ]  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)   [ ]  at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)   [ ]  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)   [ ] Could not find the main class: com.eviware.soapui.SoapUIProTestCaseRunner.  Program will exit.   [ ] Exception in thread "main"So I assume that the project file contains some special settings, that refer to soapUI Pro components (here: SoapUIProTestCaseRunner).So isn't it possible to run a testcase of an soapUI Pro project using soapUI and vice versa?Best regardsNico

Hi Nico,Projects created in soapUI Pro can be run in soapUI Pro courtesy mode (that is, soapUI Pro with no license), but not in soapUI Open Source. Projects created in soapUI Open Source can be run in any edition of soapUI.Regards/Henrikeviware.com

Hi Henrik,thank you for this (very) quick answer.When evaluating soapUI and soapUI Pro 3.6.1, we checked to execute soapUI Pro testcases in soapUI and it worked (of course no soapUI Pro features were used). But we did it by loading the project file into soapUI Open Source and then running the testcases via the GUI.So is there any transformation, when loading a project into soapUI/soapUI Pro, which isn't made when executing the project/testcase via testrunner.bat?Best regardsNico

Hi Henrik,what about an answer to my last questions?Is there any transformation when loading a Pro-Project into an "open source soapUI"?Best regards Nico

Hi Nico,I'm not sure what you mean by "transformation"; the base file format used by both versions is the same, it's just that the pro version adds some extra stuff if you use Pro teststeps in your projects.. The code for loading projects is the same in the GUI as in the command-line, so there should be no difference between the two.Does that answer your question?regards!/Oleeviware.com

Hi Ole,thank you for answering quickly.We create testcases with soapUI Pro especially because of the better usability. But we don't use pro test steps in general.So my question is: Can I run a testcase in soapUI open source, if it was created with soapUI Pro?And if so: what causes the problem? (see my first post)Best regardsNico
