very large setting.xml

[ssteinhorst]

We have a fairly large soap ui project that was originally a 'regular' project. We converted it to a composite project since we now have several people working on it. Once we did that I noticed that the setting.xml file is almost 500MB in size and we get out of memory errors all the time now as well. I tried google but only found a reference to deleting <xml-fragment> tags but there are a lot and I hesitate to try to script this. Any help here?

What actually such a big content in the settings? Open it and take a look at it.

Since the file ballooned to 10 million lines long, it was not possible to edit manually on my end. 

Smartbear had a fix for this so I'm back up and running with a 27k settings.xml file again.

Can you share what the fix was? 🙂

I opened a support ticket and they offered to adjust it so I sent them a 500 MB file and got back a 27 k file.  There is also a fix coming out for this issue in the next ReadyAPI version which they said is coming out next(this?) week.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if it was something they did for you, as it appears, or if they provided instructions on how to fix. Either way, it's good to know they are implementing a fix. 🙂
