SoapUI Feature Requests

SOAPUI support for importing SWAGGER specifications is unreliable and buggy.   Bug 1: Import from swagger hub locks up. Create an empty project and select Import from SwaggerHub from the project menu. Wait an inordinate amount of time for UI to respond. The list contains multiple projects with malformed names and many duplicate demo projects. When the popup appears, enter 'ThingPark' in search criteria and import. Popup appears with bouncing download bar, but never ends, can be left fro hours and doesn't return. Select other projects produces the same result, the import locks up. Bug 2: Input named swagger only includes last resource from the definition. Create an empty project and select Import Swagger. Enter the url for a swagger definition, e.g.  Popup produced error message: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: sampleContent for class: com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.RestRepresentation The project will import only one resource definition, the last one in the file. https://dx-api.thingpark.com/admin/v141/tpdx-admin-api-contract.json will only include the '/oauth/revoke_token' resource and no others.

Dear all, I have a SoapUI project and am not able to add a WSDL in the following circumstances.   Problem description I have a SoapUI project (in SoapUI version 5.4.0): one of the WSDL interfaces is called "bindingServiceName". I have a completely different WSDL/service, which contains a binding with the same name " bindingServiceName " and which I need to import to the project as well.   When I try to add the second WSDL to SoapUI project I get a dialogue: Interface [ bindingServiceName ] already exists in project, update instead? Yes No Cancel   Apparently "Yes" is not an option as these services are completely different and I need them both. When I choose "No", no interface is added to the project.   It seems this is an old issue, known in 2009 already.    Proposal I suggest that in such a situation SoapUI would: warn that the WSDL contains the same binding name as already exists within the project and offer an input to get a different (unique) name for the imported binding I would be helpful if this gets resolved. Currently, we need to do an unpleasant workaround.   ... View more

It would be very convenient to work with several windows if they were organized as tabs, as in modern browsers. Now, to quickly switch between windows, you have to reduce their size and change the position of each other so that one window looks out from under the other. See attached screenshot. ... View more

Since it is possible to configure multiple endpoints on a soapcall I think it would be a nice feature to  be able to assign a name or description to each endpoint. For instance, in a situation where you can only use IP adresses it would be nice to set the hostname in the description. Another usecase would be a 'production', 'test', 'accept' tag in the description etc.   ... View more

Hi,   Please resolve bug Null pointer exception with HTTP Monitor.   Http Monitor + create test case from selected request would be a very useful feature, but as far as I can see (in version 5.3.0) this is currently completely unusable.   Its working in Pro version, so I guess a fix wouldn't be very difficult to implement?   Kind Regards, Paul Igoe ...

Hello,   I've been using the mock functionality and I have a feature request to make.   In Home / Documentation / SOAP Mocking / MockOperations and Responses:   https://www.soapui.org/soap-mocking/mockoperations-and-responses.html   Section MockOperation Dispatching: SEQUENCE: this is the simplest dispatch method; responses are selected and returned in the order they have been added to the MockOperation.   If you are setting up a mock service with a bunch of fake responses and you need to change their order, it can become quite cumbersome since you would need to recreate them or swap their contents around.   I wish there was a better way to reorder the responses, preferable by dragging them, without having to use a QUERY-MATCH MockOperation dispatcher, which would involve more complexity.   cheers ...

It would be helpful if a user was able to choose whether or not they wish to have Logs scroll as they populate or not. Each log (Error, HTTP, Script, etc) should have their own setting and not have one setting to rule them all. I have created several scripted assertions with a great bit of detail. I have to wait until the test is finished running before I can describe or research the error I am receiving. This is not very efficient when I have individuals assisting with debugging of an application.   Heather A. ... View more

When making calls to Amazon's S3 and similar services a "signature" value needs to be generated.   http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/Welcome.html   The details of the signing required are documented here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sigv4-auth-using-authorization-header.html    Currently this can only be accomplished with a convoluted mechanism of groovy scripts.  It would be very useful if (upon entering the relevant credentials) SoapUI could generate the signature value and populate the relevant header.   ...

Purpose When the Groovy Script test step fails, its star icon turns red and I can see the step has failed. When the step succeeds, the icon is still blue, i.e. has the same color as before its execution. Can you please make it green in case of test step success, as is e.g. in case of SOAP Request test step?   Description When I run a Groovy script test step with a script:   assert false The icon gets red: However if the script is:   assert true The icon remains blue, i.e. the same as before step execution: It is a small change but it would help to recognize the test result.   Karel   ...

The navigation tree for SOAP services/requests was sorted alfabetically by name. When one has many requests below the same Project it is possible to manually group them by adding prefixes in the description and hence keeping then "organised".   In the navigation tree for JSON on the other side  there seem to be a fixed sorting by creation time: the last created/or duplicated request is put at the end of the list. When there are many requests it bekomes a caotic list.   It would have been better to keep the functionality of the navigation and editor pane (e.g. editable, searchable) like it was for SOAP and just treat JSON content as an other type of content.   I hope there is a chance to geht this right and more confortable in a next release. Anybody else with the same experience using SOAPUI for JSON?    ... View more

Description: Need the ability to deploy the mock via a command line vs the UI.   Business need: the ability to integrate the Mock test cases along with Continuous Integration automated test.  As part of CI build need the ability to deploy the SoapUI Mock upon check in.  Once checked in the mock can be packaged as a war and then deployed to a Apache or TC container for use with automated regression suite.     ...

Configuration to allow loading unsigned plugins   Description Currently SoapUI-5.3.0 allows to load only the plugins which are signed by Smartbear, for security reasons. This precaution prevents to develop, test and use the plugins which are not signed by Smartbear. Asking Smartbear to sign every JAR we need to test is not feasible. The enforcement of signing the plugins is contrary to open source principles.   Proposal Introduce a configuration item in SoapUI properties, which allows loading unsigned plugins. The item can be set to false by default, but the user will be able to allow it at his own risk. There can be a short notice about potential risks.   Benefits The implementation would allow more freedom and flexibility to both SoapUI contributors and users and encourage people to develop new/custom plugins.     ...

You may want to provide a corresponding hint in the check-box's text (or at least its hover-text), because that's not exactly intuitive. Without the reg-exp checkbox being ticket one needs to provide a substring only that has to be contained somewhere in the response. With the check box ticked, it needs to match the entire response.   Please make that difference more explicit!   Background here: Re: Contains assertion with option "Use Token as regular expression" not working ...

I worked many years with SOAP UI   for SOAP/XML .   Useful was the feature that the REsponse windows is actually an editor window where I could directly modify the response text (insert new lines, )  search for keywords,..etc...   Now we are moving to JSON and the Reponse window for JSON doesn't allow editing, neither CTRL+F (Find) The only operation that seem work ist CTRL+A and  then CTRL+C for copy. Hence a separate editor is needed...   I am using SOAPUI 5.2.1   It shouldn't be a big change to allow editing in that windows as well, since you already allow editin in the SOAP response window.  Most probably some detail in the configuration of the windows object for editor window called. OR the problem is that that window doesn't get the focus when pointed & click by the mouse. Hence the CTRL etc are sent to the neavigation pane.   It would be good to have this fixed in a next release.   Thank you! Adrian   ... View more

Every time I launch SoapUI (5.3.0, but the same was in 5.2.1) I get an error:   Thu Jan 26 18:42:52 CET 2017:INFO:Adding plugin from [C:\Users\Karel\.soapuios\plugins\soapui-swagger-plugin-2.2-dist.jar] Thu Jan 26 18:42:53 CET 2017:ERROR:An error occurred [com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoImportMethodFactory], see error log for details   Can you please resolve this issue and advice a temporary workaround?   The plugins actually work, but every time I launch SoapUI (either GUI or programatically) I get an error and need to check whether it's this known error or some other issue with my projects.   The only advice I have seen to resolve this is to remove the .soapuios directory, which is actually a workaround, not a solution, as long as we want to use the plugins.   ...

Soap UI 5.x versions are currently unusable from the last 2.x versions of selenium up to version 3.X.  This is due to dependency mismatches in the http client which prevent inter-operability in the same JVM.  Soap UI is a viable solutions for web testing with Selenium, we used it for many years in the past.  Currently it is unusable.   This is a very nice way to do web testing when it works, and many folks have asked about this.     ...

Purpose The process of testing often requires to compare test results to expected values. When we need to check a specific value, we can use assertions. However, there are often occasions when we need to compare one documents to another (e.g. XML, JSON). I propose to introduce a new type of test step: Compare test step.   Functionality Compare test step would allow: Select documents: users would select source and target document from test step requests, responses, properties and other document holders in SoapUI environment, similarly as the Property Transfer test step does. Type of comparisson: the user could choose whether the documents have to be identical (both structure and values) or similar (only the structure should be same). Also the user could choose to ignore differences in whitespaces, attributes, or namespaces, or even data types which to ignore (e.g. xsd:dateTime is typically different). List of items to compare/ignore: the user could list the items which should be ignored, represented by XPath statements. Also there would be an opposite option: a list of XPath statements to check and to ignore the rest of the documents.    Suggestions The Compare test step can utilize the XMLUnit library for XML and thus expose its function via SoapUI user interface. The Compare step can be similarly used for JSON documents.   ... View more
