Workarounds for REST/POST bug

Hi,

I could not recreate this issue with SoapUI Pro v4.5.2 at all. When looking at REST request, I enter JSON information in request view as shown here:
http://www.soapui.org/REST-Testing/work ... itor-views

and that information does not go away when I tab out. If possible, please expand on your issue.

Thanks,

Thank for quick reply.
I took a couple of screenshots from SOAPUI Pro 4.5.2 to describe the issue. Please see the attachment.
My service is based on JSON format only for both request and response.
Someone said in the email thread that this is a bug. You may wanna search the database to see if it has been reported.

Hi,

I see your problem, but unfortunately I was not been able to reproduce your issue on 4.5.2 linux version. And also we don't have a bug reported for your issue.

Which os are you running? Can provide us your installation details from Help-> System Properties Menu. In that case, I think it will be easier for us to reproduce the issue.

hi,

Any updates on this one? Is the property info helpful for reproducing the issue?
Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi again,

No actually I could not reproduce your problem on windows 64 either. I am wondering if it has anything to do with your project. Is it possible to share a sample project with what we can reproduce the issue?

I don't think it's a project related issue because the free version of SOAPUI does NOT have this issue. But I will need the data driven feature and we paid for that. We can't provide a sample project for now, but what number can I call for discussing more technical details?
Thanks,

Hi,

I am sorry but I have also tested this and could not reproduce this problem with SoapUI 4.5.2.

In your screenshot, it seems you have a complex form, which comes from your WADL probably. That may be causing the problem. The WADL I used to test this is fairly simple.
Can you provide us with a similar WADL (you can remove sensitive information and just leave enough for the problem to still be present) so we can try it in our tests?

Also, if you want to attach a JSON file (or any file) to your POST (or PUT) request, you can just set Media Type to "multipart/form-data" and then add the files in the Attachments tab. The file will be sent in the body of the message (if you use encryption, it will be encrypted).

Regards,
