Soap UI hangs on OsX El Capitan
I haven't used Soap UI for some time, so when I recently had to open it, I decided to upgrade it first.
I got version 5.2.1 and when I opened it, it would just crash after a few seconds.
Looking at the logs, I was getting the following error: SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
After spending a long time looking for a solution and trying everything out there, I finally got it fixed. Â
Here's the steps you should try:
Start âActivity Monitorâ and Force Kill your dead soapUI process.
In Finder, /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-5.2.1.app > Show Package Contents.
Edit /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-5.2.1.app/Contents/java/app/bin/soapui.sh.
Uncomment this line #JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true".
Edit /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-5.0.0.app/Contents/vmoptions.txt.
Add -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true.
If all else fails, you can also try this, go to your home directory and create a file named default-soapui-workspace.xml with the following data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<con:soapui-workspace name="Projects" soapui-version="5.2.1" xmlns:con="http://eviware.com/soapui/config">
 <con:settings/>
 <con:project name="ProcessAccountProxyService">/Users/watro/Downloads/ProcessAccountProxyService-soapui-project.xml</con:project>
 <con:collectInfoForSupport>false</con:collectInfoForSupport>
</con:soapui-workspace>
