SOAPUI Pro (within ReadyAPI 3.2.5) - old project test methods loading POSTs as GETs

We are seeing an odd issue when opening some older SoapUI projects that we haven't run in a year or more.   Many of the REST request test steps that were originally set up as POST methods are loading...

    Hi, it is possible we were using the free version when they were created.   Very hard to say.   Is there a way to identify that in one of the files itself?  Or would that be overwritten as soon as we opened it in Pro version in  readyAPI 3.2.5?

     

    I think I will go ahead and close this issue though.   It sounds like this is not something familiar to anyone at this point and no 'known workaround'.   That is what I was trying to find out mainly.  We will remap the methods manually instead.

     

    Thank you.

Hi LunaLJG,

Can you comment on the sequence of events of how you noticed this?

Ehat i mean is, are you saying that this didn't occur with the previous version of ReadyAPI! you had installed (e.g. v3.2.0 for example) and once you opened your workspace in the latest version all of a sudden there appears some corruption in some of the projects?

Were any of the projects removed from the workspace and were then re-added back into the workspace?

Considering most POST requests include a payload, if the method has changed to GET, does this mean you've lost all your embedded payloads too, or are you using the Data Drive functionality to source your data?

Is there any similarity/pattern you can identify across the projects this method/corruption has occurred for?

Is there any similarity/pattern you can identify across the projects which havent displayed this sort of method/URI corruption?

Hi, I had typed a long response to your questions and submitted it, but its no longer showing up.  I'm not sure why.  So I guess you are saying that this has not been an issue that was reported before and you've not heard of anything similiar occurring.   

 

I have noticed that the API button loads up the first API method in the list all the time - as if its lost its connection to the original api.   Any idea how that could happen?  If the root API changed, could that cause this type of behaviour?

 

I'm using readyapi version 3.2.5 and my colleague has 3.0 and we've both seen the issue.  In my case, I'm newly working on the projects so this occurred when I first loaded them into my workspace.   My colleague has not worked on that project in over a year so likely just loaded it again as well.

        Hi LunaLJG , as you have mentioned that those Project were created about a year ago, could you please let me know which tool you were used then :

        SoapUI

        SoapUI Pro

         

        to create that Project, and also which version you used that time.
