    SOAPUI was throwing up a UI screen about usage statistics that was preventing Octopus Deploy from continuing on running the TestRunner.bat.

     

    The solution was :

     

    Run Octopus Deploy tentacle manually

    Execute the Octopus Deploy steps for TestRunner.bat, This displays the usage statistics screen, click OK

    Start up SOAPUI, file > preferences > UI Settings, Disable usage statistics - Check. Click OK. 

     

    The long term solution will be to save the preferences file and load it into TestRunner when the test is executing, but I haven't done this yet.

Does the octopus generate any log for the executions?

There's not much more info from Octopus logs :

Interestingly enough another user had the same issue as me.

      Hi

      I have a similar problem.


      We are also intending to use SoapUI as part of a CI solution. But we are using SoapUI to run MockServices so that we can perform an end to end test and get a known responses from a MockService.

       

      I am executing mockservicerunner.bat from a C# class that executes the batch file mockservicerunner.bat using the Process class. I am also getting the error that you had.

       

      My output(see below)also shows that the mockservicerunner appears to stop with the More? prompt.
      I have checked the SoapUI 'Disable Usage Statistics' checkbox as you suggested, but for me this has made no difference.

       

      When I run mockservicerunner from a batch file with the same arguments the MockService is started successfully, see below.

       

      16:25:13,662 INFO [SoapUIMockServiceRunner] MockService started on port 8088 at path [/mockBizTalkOnRampServiceEndpoint]
      16:25:13,820 INFO [SoapUIMockServiceRunner] Started 1 runner
      Press any key to terminate...

       

      Do you think that I am getting the error becuase SoapUIMockServiceRunner blocks while it is running the MockService, "Press any key to terminate....". Could this give the same effect that you had when SOAPUI was throwing up a UI screen about usage statistics?
      If it is that then I am not sure how to resolve the problem.

      Any help gratefully received as I am making no progress with this issue.

       

      This is the output I get from the failing execution:

       

      Received from standard out:del %TEMP%\jfxrtpath | />
      Received from standard error: | />
      Received from standard out:set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%JFXRTPATH% | />

      Received from standard out: | />
      Received from standard out:More? | />
      Received from standard out: | />

       

      Many thanks,

      Geoff

        I see you have 'Disable Usage Statistics', but did you make sure you were logged in as the same user that is going to execute the .bat file ?

         

        For me I was using Octopus Deploy which was running a service under a specific user account. I had to log onto the server that was running the SOAP tests using this account. Run the .bat file manually and check for UI prompts and adjust SOAPUI where necessary.

         

        The message you are seeing I believe is due to UI actions.

         

        "I am executing mockservicerunner.bat from a C# class that executes the batch file mockservicerunner.bat " - What user is this running as ?

         

        Can you adjust the bat file to print the current user ?
