Currently using SoapUI 5.2.1 and am experiencing random UI window freeze. This abnormality often occurs right after invoking a rest service. The said rest service(s) from previous and fresh boot invoke runs smooth, but after series of invoke(s) the whole SoapUI window freezes.

Any hints regarding this?

  • Yes, this is an unresolved problem with SoapUI. – SiKing Apr 04 '16 at 16:52
  • Oh? How long have this been an issue? – David B Apr 05 '16 at 04:45
  • I think I filed a defect with them sometime around version 4.2. – SiKing Apr 05 '16 at 16:10
  • Are you on windows? Please post your `soapui-errors.log` (see Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin). I have similar problems but they usually come from plugins crashing – roblogic Apr 26 '16 at 23:55
  • Have the same problems. Freeze on getting/render response from rest service. – Denys Kurochkin Nov 11 '16 at 11:17

    I had the same problem. This may solve your issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35747109/where-do-i-set-character-encoding-in-soapui-preferences – Morvader Feb 28 '17 at 12:54
  • I dont have any external plugins loaded/used. Its keeps freezing for me the moment i sent rest service call. Frustrated on this bug as i couldnt find a pattern or tell you when the freeze happens, i see no errors in logs as well. – Bhuvanesh Mani Aug 29 '18 at 17:52

If you're sending a lot of requests via e.g. groovy, you'll want to discard the response on the request (this prevents out of memory problems which freezes soapui)

enter image description here

Note: You have to close the response window. If the response window is still open, you'll still see a response.

For more memory related settings see: https://www.soapui.org/getting-started/working-with-soapui/improving-memory-usage.html

Open file "soapui.bat" in edit mode(It will be inside C:..\SoapUI-5.4.0\bin). I have changed maximum memory that can be used to 2048 as below. set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx2048m Then open soapUi by running batch file "soapui.bat". I not face any freeze after making this change.

I've started to run tests only from command line via /bin/testrunner because of this reason (it is pretty comfortable if you use groovy scripts). I use GUI of SoapUI only to manage REST resources, test suites and test cases.

One of the possible solutions is to disable browser component

add -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true into vmoptions file
or uncomment such line in the soapui.bat

  • Your solution not worked for me. It still hangs when executing a single soap request (not always, as before). – Pino Nov 19 '18 at 15:51
