Hello sasarode123
I have never had good outcomes by following documentation to add external jar files to:
{smartbear install location}/bin/ext folder
As long as there are no conflicting jar versions, I just go straight to including external jar files to:
{smartbear install location}/lib folder
If you only have a few (1 to 15 maybe) external jar files, this should not be a problem. It gets a lot riskier (meaning, you have the potential to no longer make the application operate) if you have a lot of external jar files or conflicts with existing jar files. You might have to trial and error a little bit however. I use the date/time stamp as a quide to see what external jar files I might have added because those are usually different than the similarly dated files for the original install. If you make the application (ReadyAPI or TestEngine) no longer operate, then remove the jars you added to /lib folder. I have used that folder for years with success.
