where do I find soapui-settings.xml in unix installation

Hi,

The soapui-settings.xml file is in your user home directory. For windows this would be something like C:\Users\<user name> and UNIX something like /home/<username>.

Hi,

The exact location can be found in SoapUI, Help -> System Properties, look for user.home property.

Thanks Marcus!

The Jenkins build log shows as below. It says it is creating a soapui-settings.xml at /home/build2/soapui-settings.xml but we can't find it.

Any reason you can think of?

Hi,

Since you are using this with Jenkins there maybe something being thrown off. If you start SoapUI Pro GUI and go to Help -> System Properties does it show /home/build2/soapui-settings.xml?

My <soapui install folder>\bin\soapui.log shows:
[DefaultSoapUICore] initialized soapui-settings from [C:\Users\Marcus\soapui-settings.xml]


Please also check if that directory has the correct read\write permissions.

Marcus, Can I start SOAPUI from Linux? If yes, what is the file?

In Windows I do not see any issues.

The issue is on Linux. We still can't locate soapui-settings.xml file in Linux. If you see there is a difference in log statement between linux and windows.

I believe in linux since it is not finding the soapui-settings.xml from the installation, it is trying to create a new one but that also I can't locate it.

We do not think File permissions is an issue as we are able to create a file.

Linux:
10:50:09,210 INFO [DefaultSoapUICore] Creating new settings at [/home/build2/soapui-settings.xml]

Windows:
14:27:55,730 INFO [DefaultSoapUICore] initialized soapui-settings from [C:\Users\ChelikM\soapui-settings.xml]

Another thing, I noticed which could be the issue.

The zip file for Linux tarball (Java not included)Linux tarball (Java not included) under soapui does have soapui-settings.xml where as the zip file under soapui-pro tab does't.
at http://www.soapui.org/

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Just to ask since you are running this from Jenkins, did you install SoapUI Pro or did someone else install?
Which SoapUI Pro version are you using, with bundled JRE or without bundled JRE?
Were there any errors during the installation of SoapUI Pro?

Marcus, Can I start SOAPUI from Linux? If yes, what is the file?

Yes, you can start SoapUI Pro from linux. There should be a <soapui install>/bin/soapui-pro.sh file that will start the GUI.

The zip file for Linux tarball (Java not included)Linux tarball (Java not included) under soapui does have soapui-settings.xml where as the zip file under soapui-pro tab does't. at http://www.soapui.org/

I will further investigate that.

Hi,

You need a x-windows client to be able to use the GUI in a "headless" environment.
If you have Exceed x-windows server that is the easiest to use in my opinion (that is not free however).
If not, then you can try xming. There is a blog post on how to use with SoapUI on linux.
