Do you have any plugins? or soapui logs that you can attach here?

If the SoapUI version is 5.2.1 (I use this and found the same problem), the problem ties to the default plugins installed under "C:\Users\<user name>.soapuios\plugin".

 

For SoapUI 5.2.1, there are 4 default plugins installed under this directory:

  1. readyapi-swaggerhub-plugin-1.0.jar
  2. ready-mqtt-plugin-dist.jar
  3. ready-uxm-plugin-1.0.1-dist.jar
  4. soapui-swagger-plugin-2.2-dist.jar

Just rename the original folder 'plugins' to 'plugins_NOTinUse' (or something else), so that default plugins could be forced hidden during runtime. The problem then disappeared.

    I had several errors like that: 

     


    log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.

    ERROR [SoapUI] An error occurred [com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoDiscoveryMethodFactory], see error log for details
    ERROR [SoapUI] An error occurred [com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoImportMethodFactory], see error log for details

     

    I did the solution for jrahman and it works now!

    HI , As per above replay , I have checked file under plugin folder. No such jar found  for deletion.

    Please suggest other approach for resolving AutoDiscoveryMethodFactory ClassNotFoundException issue.

      Hi,

       

      Along with the exception there is normally a path like:

      11:43:32,432 INFO  [PluginManager] Adding plugin from [C:\Users\jenkins\.soapuios\plugins\ready-mqtt-plugin-dist.jar]
11:43:34,773 ERROR [SoapUI] An error occurred [com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoDiscoveryMethodFactory], see error log for details
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoDiscoveryMethodFactory

      I take it you've checked this / these locations? 

       

      As you're probably aware, whilst this exception is irritating, it isn't actually serious in terms of lost functionality.

        Some folks are claiming this doesn't stop things from running.  I am using the test launcher for a test case and it fails with that error and this one:Quote

        Is this not supposed to work in SoapUI Open Source or do you have to do something special to fix it so it will run.  I also tried putting the plugins in the bin/ext directory due to several others mentioning this.
