ClassNotFoundException: AutoImportMethodFactory SoapUI 5.2.1 open source

I'm using Jenkins 2.32.2 and SoapUI Open Source 5.2.1 version. Below excpetion is thrown while executing below command from Jenkins pre build.

Command Configured : 

"C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin\testrunner.bat" -s"User ManagementTestSuite" -c"List All User TestCase" -r -f"D:\******\SoapUI\Report" "D:\********\SoapUI\REST-Project---User-Management-soapui-project.xml"

Error :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.eviware.soapui.plugins.auto.factories.AutoImportMethodFactory
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

As per SoapUI open source feature list, Jenkins integration does not require Pro version. And as per above ClassNotFoundException, it looks like Pro version is required.

Solution

  • From SoapUI 5.2.1 onwards, that is expected. You may also find the same in SoapUI Community

    If you want to avoid those errors, remove /move files from the following directory:

    Note that you need to replace your user below.

    C:\Users\<user name>\.soapuios\plugins\

    or 

    C:\Users\<user name>\.soapui\plugins
