SoapUI Pro 5.1.2 hangs on Mac OS X 10.8.5

SoapUI Pro 5.1.2 hangs on Mac OS X 10.8.5   I installed SoapUI Pro 5.1.2 on MAC OS X 10.8.5. When I run SoapUI Pro it just hangs. Any ideas on how to resolve? Thanks in advance

The steps on http://www.bencode.net/blog/2015/01/25/soapui-freezing-osx/ worked for me (on OS X 10.10.3):

 

  1. Start ‘Activity Monitor’ and Force Kill your dead soapUI process. [Or use Command-Option-Escape to force quit it.]
  2. In Finder, /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-5.0.0.app > Show Package Contents.
  3. Edit /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-5.0.0.app/Contents/java/app/bin/soapui.sh.
  4. Uncomment this line# JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true". [In other words, remove the "#" to stop it being a comment.]
  5. Edit /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-5.0.0.app/Contents/vmoptions.txt.
  6. Add -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true.
  7. Start soapUI.

[In those paths, change soapUI-5.0.0 to match your version. For me it is soapUI-5.1.3.]

 

Hope this helps.

    Registered here just to thank you for instructions - they worked perfectly for me (SoapUI-5.3.0 on macOS Sierra/10.12.4)

    Just registered to say "Thank you PhilipSharman" for the given solution.

     

    It worked in my case with SOAP-UI Version 5.3.0 (5.3.0) :smileyvery-happy:

    Hello Philip,

     

    I'm having issues with my SoapUI 5.4.0 on MacBook Pro with macOS 10.13.3. It is really slow and makes me force restart all the time after it just freezes. I have tried to disable the browser component of SoapUI, but nothing changed. What else can I do? Thanks.
