Re: SoapUI 5.4.0 has Null Pointer Exception on startup on Mac High Sierra

No, nothing happens.  It fails to start at all.

    Same problem with that download.  It throws an NPE and doesn't start.

    Have you already opened the Logfiles in <SoapUI-Folder>/bin and read the Stacktrace?

      There's no stack trace in any of the log files. Here's my original post which I accidentally put in the wrong forum...

      "Hello,

      When I go to start up SoapUI-5.4.0 I get this exception:

      I've tried setting the JAVA_OPTS to uncomment the -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true, I've tried downloading and reinstalling the application, I've tried downloading the .zip file and launching it from the "soapui.sh" file in the .zip file.  None of these work.

      I've tried it with JRE 9.0.1 and JRE 1.8.0_161

      I'm on Mac, OS X 10.13.3."

       

       

      I found an older version of SoapUI, version 5.2.1, and gotten that to install and run. So I'll just stick with that. I don't need any of the newer features.

    I just took a look at the Window.java Class.

    Maybe theres a problem with your graphic configuration.

     

    Do you have a headlessadapter plugged into one of your graphicports or virtual desktops?

     

     

    Btw. that below the NullpointerException is a stacktrace ;)

      :) Thanks.

       

      I don't know what a "headless adapter" is...
