Code Completion

Code completion would be very useful. At least in the Pro.

  • I second this, at the very least to save us typing com.eviware.xxx and for methods on the SoapUI objects

    This is something that we have thought about, but it's not easy to do with dynamic languages as Groovy since the interpreter doesn't know much about which variables contains what.

    Keep the suggestions coming and have a nice weekend you two!

    When using groovy plugin for Eclipse (especially after adding soapUI jar(s) as "external jars" to the used libraries in Java Build Path) code completion works pretty fine.
    But it doesn't work as soon as I switch to the soapUI project in the soapUI perspective.

    Could it be possible to use groovy plugin for Eclipse in the soapUI plugin for Eclipse?

    I searched for this in our backlog [SOAPUI-2290], and it seems that it might actually happen. Let's cross our fingers!

      Just FYI, the Groovy Code completion feature was added in Ready! API: SoapUI NG 1.0, with more improvements currently being developed.
