SOAPUI Pro 4.0.1 Dialog window blank, no response

I just installed from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 and the dialog box for my license expiring is blank. The dialog won't close and I can't use 4.0.1, nor can I even close 4.0.1 nicely. I have to kill the process. However, I can run 4.0.0 along side of it.

I have tried the bundled and "no jre" version.

OS - Linux - Ubuntu 11.04
Architecture - 32 bit

Attached is a side-by-side comparison of the two dialogs.

I'm assuming it's a java issue, but I ran the 4.0.1 from a terminal and I don't see any errors. According to the output, both 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 are using java version 1.6.0_26

  • Hi,

    hmm.. strange indeed - could you try adding the following java system propertys to the soapui-pro.sh file:

    -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true

    Does that make any difference?

    regards!

    I tried your advice with no success. I just figured out what it was. I did a diff on the 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. We cannot use the browser component with linux, right? I can see the dialog text, but I had to comment out the line to disable the browser component. If linux doesn't support it, shouldn't Smart Bear just comment out that line by default?

    In summary:
    In order to see my dialog text, I had to uncomment this line in the soapui-pro.sh file:
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true"
  • Hi,

    actually, the browser component does work on some linux dialects/versions - preferably our installer should detect which linux version that is being used and enable the browser component accordingly...

    What do you think?

    I think that is a good idea, because if the line is enabled but not supported, users won't know why they are having problems.

    Currently, the HTML tab of a HTTP step says, "Browser Component is disabled". That might make a user confused wondering why. However, If the HTML tab in a HTTP step said, "The Browser Component is disabled because it's not yet supported by your version of linux" then that would settle any confusion up front.

    Just my thought... thanks!
