Team,

 

We are using SoapUI on Linux server. we are using testRunner.sh for our functional test. However whenever our request is huge, its getting timed out. So I know by default its 60 sec. How do i increase the time ?. I know in GUI. But not sure how to increase on SoapUI on headless Linux. Please help.

 

Below is the error log

 

10:20:25,974 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$SoapUIDefaultClientConnection] Sending request: POST /RqstHandler/OrderLoadService HTTP/1.1
10:21:26,022 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$SoapUIDefaultClientConnection] Connection closed

At some point I needed to change the socket timeout on a machine to which I had no access. What I did is I added a groovy test step in my project like:

import com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI
import com.eviware.soapui.settings.HttpSettings

// Get soapUI settings
def settings = SoapUI.getSettings()
settings.setString(HttpSettings.SOCKET_TIMEOUT,"120000") // set timeout to 120 seconds

This only has to be run once and it can be removed afterwards.

Thank you
