Automation filename contents for SoapUI integration

Hi,
Now I can edit the filename field, please can I get more information on filling it out for SoapUI?

When I enter the path to the project, I get a plugin engine error with the following exception, telling me the engine cannot find the project:

Exception:
The provided project filepath 'H:\SpiraTeam\Integration\svn\internal\tools\SoapUI\trunk\API_V4\PaymentServerGatewayTesting' does not exist on the host!

Stack Trace:
   at Inflectra.RemoteLaunch.Engines.soapUI.SoapUIEngine.StartExecution(AutomatedTestRun automatedTestRun)
   at Inflectra.RemoteLaunch.Business.RunTestThread.Execute()


If I specify the project path, including the filename (settings.xml), then the engine.StartExecution passes, but the SoapUI testrunner cannot find the TestSuite within the project. Output is as follows:

soapUI Pro 4.0.0 TestCase Runner

14:36:44,063 ERROR [SoapUI] An error occured [TestSuite with name [DirectAPI] is missing in Project [Payment Server Gateway Testing V4]], see error log for details


The project does contain the test suite specified.  I can run the testrunner.bat with exactly the same parameters as passed by soapui engine, but removing the \settings.xml from the project path.

I added some echo commands to testrunner.bat, so I can see what parameters it gets invoked with.

The following command works (correctly runs the testcases):
testrunner -s"DirectAPI" -c"Check Gateway request" -Ppctarget=https://192.168.23.11 -Ppcsite=DirectAPI H:\SpiraTeam\Integration\svn\internal\tools\SoapUI\trunk\API_V4\PaymentServerGatewayTesting

The following command does not work (cannot find the test suite in the project):
testrunner -s"DirectAPI" -c"Check Gateway request" -Ppctarget=https://192.168.23.11 -Ppcsite=DirectAPI H:\SpiraTeam\Integration\svn\internal\tools\SoapUI\trunk\API_V4\PaymentServerGatewayTesting\settings.xml

It is clear that testrunner only wants the path, not including the settings.xml file.

However, when I enter only the path in the filename field, I get the StartExecution exception.

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated..

Ok, I think the problem here was due to 'Composite Projects' setting.  When I set the value to 'false' in the project properties, and saved the project again, testrunner was able to find the TestSuite using the parameters provided by RemoteLaunch.

It would be useful is RemoteLaunch can support project folders (composite projects), as they allow better admin in a large project with many integrators/developers/testers.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, but might I suggest it be logged as a bug of some sort.

I would suggest at least a documentation change to inform users that Composite Folders are not supported, as it took me most of a day to diagnose the problem.

As SoapUI recommend their use, especially in commercial environments with several engineers working in a team, it is now seems to be a failing of SpiraTest/Team not to support their use, unless it is only intended as a tool for small scale developments.

Kind Regards,
Charlie

I would agree that it's a limitation then, and have escalated it accordingly. We're in the process of releasing v3.2 of SpiraTeam, once that's out the way we'll look into adding support for composite folders.
