Cannot get soapui-settings to be recognised

hi,   I'm using the maven plugin to run soap ui - which it does seem to do, however it always seems to come up with an error regarding analytics. Reading other posts it would seem that it is possib...

Hi,

 

Are you by any chance using Ubuntu?

 

If so, I have seen several posts relating to the GA error and Ubuntu. As of let, I havent found a work-around, but I do think theres a possible code fix - see if any of this post seems familiar:

 

http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/No-Graph-Data-to-Export-Error-after-900s-BURST-100-THREAD-60s/td-p/116967/highlight/false

 

Relating to chaning the analystics preference in the settings file, I believe this can be done successfully - please see last post in :

 

http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/Soapui-not-starting-on-Ubuntu-15-04/td-p/101141/page/2

 

But I dont think this fixes the nullpointer, which seems to relate to an uncaught exception where SoapUI tries to look up the machine's mac address.

 

Please let me know your environment,

Thanks,

Rupert

Hi there,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Yep, it's Ubuntu alright:

 

 

3.13.0-74-generic #118-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17 22:52:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

 The problem seems exactly the same, obviously some thing in the analytics or related stuff needs a MAC address.

 

Oh well, it's already been reported, let's hope it can get fixed at some point.

 

However my settings file is not recognised either so that seems a seperate issue. I took the config advisory from that post, so it remains a mystery why the file is continuously rejected. It is picking up the right file - as if I delete it or turn it to junk it gives a different error message.

 

If you could shed any further light on the config issue that would be nice - is it possible to attach your full config - or at least a working part?

 

cheers

 

ITG.

    Just a quick check, are you sure the same settings file is being used?

      Yes because, if I break it (broken close tags), then I get the following error instead:

       

      14:49:39,192 WARN  [DefaultSoapUICore] Failed to load settings from [/var/lib/jenkins/soapu
      i-settings.xml:9:2: error: </soapui:soapui-workspace> does not close tag <soapui:soapui-workspacexxxx>.], creating new

       And when removed the file complains that it is not understood.

       

      Something strange going on when reading for sure.

       

      ITG.

        From which directory do you run soapui.sh?
