| Ok. Is it causing you any trouble using soapui? |
I can't speak for Mr. Kumar, but since he hasn't answered I might as well put it on record that for me it
was causing trouble. After getting the error, soapUI would soon become unresponsive, and its java.exe process would show as 50% CPU indefinitely (until I got bored and killed it).
I should point out, though, my circumstances were slightly different. My error was this:
Cannot find 'file://C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapui-4.0.1\bin\/starter-page.html'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.So as you can see I have an old, non-pro, version of soapUI. And my error had a different arrangement of slashes - including 5 back-slashes (unlike Mr. Kumar who shows only forward-slashes).
I was able to get into the preferences screen and turn off the box that says "Opens startup web page when starting soapUI". (Thank you
Liberty Information Technology Support for pointing that out.) The java.exe process hit 50% again and I had to kill it. But thankfully it did save the preference change in the soapui-settings.xml file. So the next time I opened soapUI, the problem had gone.
For anyone else encountering this problem, the "Opens startup web page when starting soapUI" option seems to correspond to the "UISettings@show_startup_page" setting in soapui-settings.xml.
For soapUI developers, firstly - thanks for all your efforts! Secondly, there may be 1 or 2 bugs worth investigating. 1# The software should be able to display the starter-page. 2# Whatever problem prevents it from showing the starter-page shouldn't lead to it freezing on 50% CPU and needing to be killed.
In my case, as in
this one, the problem only happened when using the .bat file, and
not when launching soapUI through the Start > Programs.
Regards,
Peter
