Hi, I get an error message when I try to impot a .raml file in "file-->new-->funcional test"

The error says: "could not import a definition from the specified file"   Here the .raml I'm using:   #%RAML 0.8 --- title: Static Content Services version: 1.0 baseUri: http://localhost:8088...

    Ok, the solution (thanks to Matti) is: 

     

    - So that the plugins button works properly, you have to launch ready-api by right-click-->"run as administrator" 

    - When RAML plugin is installed properly, then you can import .raml files but not from "file --> new --> funcional test" it doesnt work, you have to go through file --> new --> project and then on the left pick "Description file" and on the right "RAML". 

     

    that way it works.

    Hi Tanya,

    Thanks for your answer,

     

    Well I tried to install it, I put the content of both folders from the "soapui-raml-plugin-0.4-plugin-dist.zip" zip file, into :

    ..\program files\smartbear\ReadyApi-1.0.9\bin\

     

    and also into:

    C:\users\{my user}\.soapui

     

    I restarted Ready!api  and still same isue.

    How can I see that the plugin is well installed? When I click on "file-->plugins" in the app Ready! API, nothing happens.

     

    Is this splugin compatible with Ready! API, or only with the old SoapUI standalone?

    So... what should I do to install this plugin on Ready!API platform?

     

    I followed the installation steps, and still doesn't work.

      There's a plugin manager in Ready! API/SoapUI NG that is the preferred way of installing plugins.

       

      It is located on the Icon command bar next to Environments button.

       

      See screen shot.

        Hi, I finally managed to install the RAML plugin (I had to open the app "as administrator" and it finally opened up).

         

        Then I have restarted Ready-API and tried again to import the RAML.. and always get the same error "Could not import a definition from the specified file"

         

        What to do? I have 8 days trial remaining and it's impossible to me to evaluate it properly without this feature... We are in need of such a tool, but I cannot push up for the purchase without a decent evaluation.
