Re: Health-check for SOAP UI Pro in continuous integration with Jenkins
Hi sonya_m, The solution was to request the licence manager of ReadyAPI and get the response in a console output. The request worked well (see below), but we need a little more information about the licenses manager (existing licenses, available licenses, used licenses), I'm investigating about those statistics and how to get them. + /usr/bin/java -jar /opt/tools/ready-api-license-manager/ready-api-license-manager-1.2.6.jar -s IP_adress:port [Pipeline] echoLICENSE MANAGER OUTPUT : Please select the tool for which you want to get the floating license: 1. SoapUI Pro 2. LoadUI Pro 3. Secure (if you have an old license) 4. ServiceV Pro 5. VirtServer Licensed Module: SoapUI Pro License Number: [2018-10-31 00:00:00] ***************** License Type: PROFESSIONAL (floating) Issue Date: 31-Oct-2018 Expiration Date: 25-Jun-2020 Best regards, Mohamed.1.6KViews1like1CommentRe: Health-check for SOAP UI Pro in continuous integration with Jenkins
Hi SiKing, Thank you for your reply, I'll try to be more clear.

Could you give an example of such a tool? For example I worked with Jira and HPQC, with both of them we can check their availability and status with some HTTP requests. yahiatene wrote: So before executing the SoapUI tests in Jenkins I want to verify that : - TestRunner of ReadyAPI is available - Licences are available in sufficient quantity - Each component of the testing tool is ready to use What would you expect to happen in your pipeline if any of the above fails? And perhaps more importantly: What would expect different from just failing your test run? What I'm trying to do is a model pipeline to launch fake (blank) tests to see the status of readyAPI and it's License Manager. For example : if the quantity of licences is insufficient to run the job, the pipeline fails and sends an email to our Tools Expert to check which jobs are using all the licenses. Today we have the console output "No valid license found" just when it fails, and if it's possible we want to have : 4 floating licences found 2 used licenses 2 free licences yahiatene wrote: So the point is : - What are the best-practices you have observed in IC integration ? What is your advice ? What I have always done is to keep integration tests in a separate project (both in CMS as well as in CI), chain the projects together, and fail that project run if anything goes wrong. When the project fails, a human is going to have go and investigate, regardless of the failure. So the goal is to make model pipeline, to automate it's run and to do it before production pipeline run.

We have already been in relation with the SmartBear Customer Care, they suggested tu ask the Community ! I'll create a new case with them if my current solution doesn't work. Thant you for your replies. Mohamed.1.7KViews0likes1CommentRe: Health-check for SOAP UI Pro in continuous integration with Jenkins
nmrao sonya_m, thank you and sorry for the delay. In my case the company's licence server is not easily accessible with an HTTP request from a jenkins job and even if I do that successfully, it just returns that the server is available and it didn't check if the licences are available. I'm trying another solution which consists on parsing the jenkins console output of SoaupUIPro pipeline to know if we get the right messages or not, hoping it will work !

Hi TanyaYatskovska , I have already read the articles refering to Soapui Pro and continuous integration on ReadyAPI documentation, unfortunately I didn't found what I was really looking for. In ReadyAPI I didn't found any command or plugin to test that everything is OK before running a Soapui test so the only way to know if something is wrong is to run the test command and it's not effective when we do automation or DevOps development. I think that TestEngine can be the solution to Health-check problem. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Mohamed3.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Health-check for SOAP UI Pro in continuous integration with Jenkins
Hi nmrao, Thank you very much for your answer and your remarks, I have already done the existence test for the testRunner. We use floating licenses so it's a little hard to check their availability. Regarding the last remark, could you give me a little more details on how to do that? And is it possible to block access to a license if it is already being used ? Thank you again Best regards Mohamed3.1KViews0likes8CommentsHealth-check for SOAP UI Pro in continuous integration with Jenkins
Hello, Most of tools dispose of “health check” routine that verify that everything is OK before starting the CI pipeline. So before executing the SoapUI tests in Jenkins I want to verify that : - TestRunner of ReadyAPI is available - Licences are available in sufficient quantity - Each component of the testing tool is ready to use Maybe it is very simple and I just have to run a blanc test, maybe the control is stricter and I can run some of health-check procedure. So the point is : - What are the best-practices you have observed in IC integration ? What is your advice ? - Does the health-check procedure exists and how to run it ? Thanks a lot :) Mohamed.Solved
