Forking a process in SoapUI
Hello!
I am looking for a way to start a process i SoapUI (a Python SimpleHTTPServer to be precise), save its pid (so I can kill it later) and then run the rest of the test steps. Har anyone done this?
Cheers,
Rikard

Hi,
Thank you for your post. Please refer to the following KB article: How to execute process in Groovy and get output of process?
Thank you, Anastasia!
Unfortunately, the link you provided is dead :(
Ops, sorry, I've fixed the link.
Just in case, here is the correct link: https://smartbear-cc.force.com/portal/KbArticleViewer?name=How-to-execute-process-in-Groovy-and-get-output-of-process&sp=all
I believe the help link is talking about how to run a process and get it's output, but it feels like the question is, "how can I start a process and then run the rest of the test steps on another process." This is my question, too: I need to use more than one process.
I'm currently coding a test that invokes an .exe, command-line style shell that performs operations, but ReadyAPI is always hung, waiting for input after I start this app. I need a way to be able to fork the process that starts my executable (or spawn a new process) to use to send commands to the .exe while it's running. Is there a way to do this in ReadyAPI?
