Hi,

I just got the same error.
I moved the default-soapui-workspace.xml to another folder and then started SOAP UI Pro 5.1.2.
It worked, I was able to start SOAP UI, but it can't open my project xml, it seems like that is corrupted as well. Can I recover my work somehow? And do you know how can this happen?

thanks,
Tamas

I believe, you should be able to import existing projects into the new workspace. Because, new workspace might be empty.

    I was able to import the project, but there is a red X on the project in SOAP UI and when I open the project xml in notepad++, it is full of NUL characters. I had a backup, so I lost only a few hours of work, but it would be good to know what caused the issue.
