I wasn't aware you could create suites outside of projects, can you explain how that works? The command line runner supports running suites and test cases indvidually but I'll need some more information about your setup before I can figure that one out
We have suites of thousands of testcases and hundreds of testsuites. Our high spec desktop computers (SSD, 32gig ram, Win 7) can not handle more than a small portion of the project at a time (soap continually crashes) so they are moved out. ie The SoapUI composite project only contains a small subset of all testcases.
We would like to run the test suites from a directory. The suites where created inside a project, but they ideally will be as standalone suites without soap gui (so no project required)
As far as I know SoapUI uses the project file as a path to reference what you want to execute when using a command line runner so if you for example would have
C:\[SoapUI path]\bin testrunner.bat -s[test suite name] C:\[project path]\projectname.xml
the test runner would look in projectname.xml to find the suite which is specified in the xml file. I'm not sure you can have standalone suites since you have your endpoints, event handlers and other properties specified in the project alongside the suites. An option would be to break up the project into several smaller ones.
As far as SoapUI crashing, have you increased the allotted RAM to SoapUI in the config file?
Yes up to 8gig in the vmptions file
-Xms128m
-Xmx8192m
The problem is my Settings.xml file is 220mb. Its full of SQL's and XML files and other scripts. Can you redirect me to a web page or forum post that deals with reducing the size of this file. I am not sure which tests are filling up the settings.xml file.
