SoapUI Pro v 5 -- RAML plugin -UNC path

Hi Guys,

I have an issue with SoapUI plugin.

We use our pro version (we normally use standalone version) hosted in QA server. It is easy for us maintain script library and extentions in 1 place.

Recently, we tried to use RAML plugin for REST service testing.

Following behaviours are noticed.
When we start the SoapUI pro in the QA server directly the plugin loaded correctly:(refer the logs below)

    Hi,

    So I see that the plugin is not loaded in the logs for the second machine SoapUI Pro, make sure in the installation\bin you have created a plugins folder and added soapui-raml-plugin-0.2-plugin.jar. Check to see the jar is present.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    The Soap UI installation is all located in the 1 Place at qa server(eg. machine name is DWEBQA) for complete company and we do have plugins folder at the right place as you mentioned.

    As mentioned if i start the SoapUI.bat(s:\SoapUIPro\bin\soapui-pro.bat) in the QA server, the plugin loaded correctly.

    But if i start the SoapUI in local machine (where soapui is not installed), the soap UI pro is directly started from loction \\DWEBQA\SoapUI-Pro\bin\soapui-pro.bat,, then the plugin was not loaded in the instance of Soap UI started in the local machine

    Hi,

    If you have added plugins and still they cannot be accessed using SoapUI Pro, then make sure you can access the directory (So you have the right privileges).

    Thanks,

    Hi Vijay,

    Sounds like the RAML plugin is definitely working as expected.

    The fact that it doesn't work when you start SoapUI Pro through a bat file where a plugin is not installed is more of an issue in that it breaks the EULA. Typically SoapUI Pro license is intended for a single user to use on a single machine. So the fact that you are starting another instance of SoapUI Pro from a different machine on yours, typically is a wrongful workaround that breaks the license agreement.

    So, can you please let me know if this access actually somehow complies with the EULA? Also, please let me know what stops you from having two Pro instances on two machines with two separate RAML plugins installed? If there's a good reason in your answers that I am not seen, we can definitely try and assist in your issue.

    Best,

    Hi Micheal,
    Thanks for your reply.

    There are not many SOAP UI advanced user in our company. We are using floating license in our company. Well most of SOAP UI pro Test development and configuration are done by me and i have two work stations to work.

    For me it is much easier to keep everything in one place and use it where ever required and My expectation works good with your script library (only pro feature), events listeners, ext etc.,and add plugin doesn't work becoz of EULA, look bit suprising.

    Well if still did not see a good reason about my request, we will figure out an another way.

    Thanks again

    Regards
    Vijay
