Why does SoapUI 5.4.0 keep freezing?
Hello, We are using SoapUI 5.4.0. We continuously have issues with the application freezing up forcing us to kill the process and restart. This is very frustrating as we sometimes lose work ...
Forum Discussion
I'm also experiencing this with a relatively small project. It seems to happen more often when running test steps in a loop using a groovy step. I've seen complaints about a memory leak, but I've had it lock up at as little as ~540MB used, and at over 1GB. I've tried various suggested solutions found on Stack Overflow and other sites. Nothing has helped so far.
The only thing consistent that I can see about this problem is it freezes immediately after clicking the Run button on a test step to call a REST service. Doesn't seem to matter which test step or the contents of the request.
SMARTBEAR WAKE UP AND RESPOND TO THESE COMPLAINTS!
There are bugs in soapui, there is no doubt about this. Hence the reason it is a free version for the community. SoapUI does also features a lot more support online and it does has many functions in comparison to other "free" API testing tools.
You can always get a paid version (ReadyAPI) and then complain to SmartBear if there are any issues with it ;)
