How do I get readyapi (formerly soapui) to respect the values I specify in pom.xml?

Question

My pom.xml looks like this

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

                            <projectFile>${soapui.projectFile}</projectFile>

                            <!-- <environment>${soapui.environment}</environment> -->
                            <outputFolder>output</outputFolder>
                            <junitReport>true</junitReport>
                            <printReport>true</printReport>
                            <projectProperties>
                                <value>one_api="https://someurl:4000"</value>
                                <value>two_api="https://someurl:4001"</value>
                                <!-- <value>environment=${soapui.environment}</value> -->
                            </projectProperties>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

When I attempt to run this project with the following command -

mvn clean test -Dsoapui.projectFile=smokeTest

The tests appear to run with whatever the last active environment was set to in ReadyAPI. It ignores

   <value>one_api="https://someurl:4000"</value>
   <value>two_api="https://someurl:4001"</value>

I know I can use the environment feature to do this but that doesn't help me for my current use case. I would like to set it at run time, for now I am hardcoding the pom.xml to see if that would work but it has not.

Any ideas as to why readyAPI is ignoring the values I am setting in pom.xml?

Thank you

Can you show how are you using those project properties? In the endpoint? — Rao, May 12 '16 at 04:21
The project properties `one_api="https://someurl:4000"` and `two_api="https://someurl:4001"` are used as rest service endpoints. Let me know if that doesn't make sense — moorecats, May 12 '16 at 17:41
You will need to show how you are using the values in your project. — SiKing, May 13 '16 at 22:06

I make the follow test to check if this works or not.

First I create a Groovy testStep and use the follow code to expand the project properties to check if there are loaded correctly from pom.xml:

log.info context.expand('${#Project#one_api}')
log.info context.expand('${#Project#two_api}')

Then I also add a REST testStep and I set ${#Project#one_api} as endpoint:

Finally I take your pom.xml (as @SiKing suggest it's necessary to drop the quotes from the value, as one_api=https://someurl:4000 instead of one_api="https://someurl:4000") and then execute the mvn clean test -Dsoapui.projectFile=./soaptestprj.xml.

The mvn trace show the following:

15:16:37,406 INFO  [SoapUIProTestCaseRunner] running step [Groovy Script INIT]
15:16:37,653 INFO  [log] https://someurl:4000
15:16:37,653 INFO  [log] https://someurl:4001
15:16:37,655 INFO  [SoapUIProTestCaseRunner] running step [initProcess]
15:16:40,491 ERROR [WsdlSubmit] Exception in request: java.net.UnknownHostException: someurl

Despite the fact that evidently it can not resolve someurl, seems that the plugin is passing correctly the <projectProperties>.

My guess is that may be the problem is that you're not referencing correctly the project property, check that you're specifying this correctly as ${#Project#YourProperty}.

Hope it helps,
