testrunner.sh trying to find a DISPLAY

I am trying to migrate from SoapUI 4.5.1 to 5.1.1 in a Red Had Linux environment so our new license files will work, and encountering a problem.

When I run the same headless testrunner.sh command I used to:
/opt/SoapUI-Pro-5.1.1/bin/testrunner.sh -r -j -f/IBM/cruise/builds/CSvcBilling-WSP/testresults/soapui/CSvcBilling -Pdphost=dpbuild01 -PHermesConfigPath=/opt/SoapUI-Pro-5.1.1/hermesJMS/cfg test/soapui/CSvcBillingServiceV2-soapui-project.xml

I get an error and the process just hangs there:

= SOAPUI_HOME = /opt/SoapUI-Pro-5.1.1

If I set up X-forwarding and a DISPLAY variable for it, everything runs fine, but no window comes up. I have already opened up SoapUI earlier and applied my new license file.

Is there some way to avoid this error so I can run my test suites unattended in a headless environment like I have been doing?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately we only have workarounds for this, if you have X component you can specify: "export DISPLAY=:0.0" before starting application and this should also work. We currently have a defect logged in our defect tracker with SOAP-2705 reference number.

    Regards,
    Temil

    Thanks, unfortunately that leads to another error. Is there more to the workaround?

    Hi,

    You can continue using SoapUI Pro 5.0.0. Till we add a workaround.

    Thanks,

      Hello, 

       

      any updates on this issue? 

       

      We are running automated tests on a headless server and cannot install any x libraries, or displays.

      It shouldn't be necessary for the shell script to need the screen size?!

       

      When adding "-Djava.awt.headless=true" as argument to the provided shell script, the X11 error is gone, but another error regarding screen size appears:

      Is this still not fixed, 3 years, one minor version and who knows how many patch versions later?

      Please don't disregard this issue! Thanks a lot!

        We solved this by running the shell command "unset DISPLAY"
