Is it possible to pass a parameter from the Maven command line to SoapUI?

Hi SoapUI Community,   I would like to build my SoapUI project by passing in a parameter. In my case, I want to specify the environment I want use, and use this as a property in SoapUI.   Can any...

    Apologies for the late up date on this - I've been able to do this in the following way:

     

    Update the pom.xml configuration section with the following:

     

    <configuration>
    <reportName>SoapUI report</reportName>
    <projectFile>oxi-regression-user-acceptance-tests</projectFile>
    <outputFolder>${project.build.directory}/reports/</outputFolder>
    <junitReport>true</junitReport>
    <exportAll>true</exportAll>
    <printReport>true</printReport>
   <projectProperties>
  	<projectProperty>Environment=${Environment}</projectProperty>
   </projectProperties>
</configuration>

    Then in my maven command reference this as:

     

    mvn test -DEnvironment=staging

Are you using ReadyAPI? Because, soapUI does not have any thing called environment.

Sorry, I should clarify:

 

In my SoapUI project, I have a custom project-level property called 'environment'. When I build the test using

mvn test

I would like to be able to pass this variable from the command line.

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

 

P.s. I am using Ready-API 1.4.1

      Thanks Rao,

       

      How is this then referenced in the project?

        Need to use the property expansion where ever required.

        In case of any requests, use ${#Project#PropertyName}

        In case of groovy script, use
        context.expand('${#Project#PropertyName}')
