When doing an assert on a large response (10,000-50,000 lines) SoapUI is taking a long time 5+mins.

I have a response that is anywhere between 10,000 and 50,000 lines.  I have a few asserts that check the uniqueness of those values.  I understand this will take some time, but is there anyway to des...

    The groovy script I provided can be easily adapted to check against multiple expected form names. To address your latest concern, I have noticed the same behavior. Whenever you edit/change a groovy script assertion and close the window, it reprocesses that assertion and re-runs it against the response. There's no real way around that unfortunately. I am not sure why it would take so much longer.

I perform an xPath Match assertion to count the values of a tag matching a specific value based on project variables.  Normally this isn't a problem, but when the line sizes get beyond 10000 I've had it lock up SoapUI and the only resolution is to kill the process and start over.  I've let it run for 20-30 min.before doing so.

Depending on how you have written your xpath statement, this could cause it to try to scan the entire response inefficiently which can lead to the issue you are seeing where ReadyAPI locks up.

 

When I have a response that large to parse, I tend to shift to using groovy to verify the response versus the request made. I can have better control, especially if the response returns more than 1 object.
