Testrunner throws java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/misc/BASE64Decoder exception

Hi community, I have a set of tests. When I run them in SoapUI, it's fine no error. However, when I run them using testrunner, I get errors like:

I've been googling around and it seems that sun/misc/BASE64Decoder has been deprecated since JAVA 9. I'm using JDK 11 and Soapui open source version 5.4.0. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Again, It only happens with testrunner.

    Hi wenesmad,

    indeed :

    • sun.misc.BASE64Encoder  is available for Java <= 8
    • java.util.Base64 is available in Java >= 8

    have you tried using java.util.Base64?

     

    Regards

      Hi Konstantinos, 

       

      Thanks for the reply. How can we change Testrunner to use java.util.Base64 instead of sun.misc.BASE64Encoder?

       

      Regards.

        If you use base64 in groovy, somethink like this can do the trick:

         

        import java.io.*
import  java.util.Base64

//Set string
def s = 'Test String'
 
//Encode with Base64
String encoded = s.bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
log.info encoded
 
//Assert the expected encoded string is the right one
assert 'VGVzdCBTdHJpbmc=' == encoded
  
//Decode with Base64
byte[] decoded = encoded.decodeBase64()
 
//Assert is equals
assert s == new String(decoded)
log.info s

        Do you get the error somewhere else?
