external libraries management issue

[kbertran99]

Hi, i am currently using soapUI 5.6.0. Last week I upgraded throught 5.7.0 and I noticed a regression regarding the external librairies management (i was facing to an error message like "could not initialize class ..."). I could reproduce this issue with soapUI 5.6.1 version.

So, I rollback to the previous version soapUI (5.6.0), and my soapUI project can initialise class coming from external library (located in {soapUI directory}/bin/ext).
Please, is it possible to confirm this issue and fix it?

Best regards,

Karl

Hi @kbertran99 ,

can you please decribe the issue in more detail?

I use SoapUI 5.7.0 and custom jars within bin/ext directory and they seem to work fine.

In the log file all of the libraries are succesfully added, e.g.:

INFO:Adding [C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.7.0\bin\ext\soapui-libs-1.6.5.jar] to extensions classpath

There are no "could not initialize class ..." errors in the log file (as were in the past). 

Best regards,

Karel

I just upgraded from 5.6.0 to 5.7.0

I experience the same problem kbertran99 reports.

The jarfile in question has been copied into c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.7.0\bin\ext\

Groovy in SoapUI says: "unable to resolve class packagename.classname"

The classfiles within the jar were compiled using groovyc 3.0.8, the jarfile was created using JDK 1.8.0_211

Thanks for your feedback KarelHusa,

As reported by krsfst, my jarfiles are not located into "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.7.0\bin\ext\" folder, but into "c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.7.0\bin\ext\".

My Operating System is : "Windows 10 Pro" (version 21H2, build 19044.1466)

Best regards,

Karl
