SoapUI and Selenium

Hi there,

We've faced with issues during integration of SoapUI and Selenium WD.

The root cause of issues somewhere in same jar files in SoapUI and Selenium. We are trying to workaround this jarhell but we are not succeed yet.

So what we have now:

Environment:

OS: Windows 8, x64

JDK: 1.8  ( JAVA_PATH linked to it )

SoapUI: 5.0.0 (Common)   and   NG Pro (Ready API NG)  trial  

( version and bits (x64/x86) doesn’t affect results)

Selenium: 2.43-2.44 and 2.39-2.42 ( see below)

( selenium-server-standalone-{version}.jar file was placed to SoapUI\bin\ext\ )

Groovy script:

// We can set properties webdriver.firefox.*, but that does not change result

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.profile", "{SomePredefinedProfile}")

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "{PathToFirefoxBinaryFile}")

def driver = new FirefoxDriver()

As soon as SoapUI ignore JAVA_HOME variable until it contains subfolder “jre”,  that subfolder was deleted/renamed. That trick allows to run SoapUI with our JDK 1.8.

Following libraries were replaced in ..\SoapUI...\lib\ folder ( used corresponding libraries version from selenium 2.44) :

commons-codec-1.3.jar → commons-codec-1.6.jar

commons-logging-1.1.1.jar → commons-logging-1.1.3.jar

new fluent-hc-4.3.6.jar

httpclient-4.1.1.jar → httpclient-4.3.6.jar

httpclient-cache-4.1.1.jar → httpclient-cache-4.3.6.jar

httpcore-4.1.1.jar → httpcore-4.3.3.jar

removed httpcore-nio-4.1.1.jar (this step doesn’t influence result)

httpmime-4.1.1.jar → httpmime-4.3.6.jar

Issues:

Selenium 2.43 & 2.44:

Browser has not been started by script. Following error was thrown immediately on “new FirefoxDriver()” command:
org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

Selenium 2.39 - 2.42:

Browser has been opened from script, but “new FirefoxDriver()”command has not been competed with following exception:

IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.2 works correct on the same environment + groovy 2.3.9 + auto-downloaded by maven dependencies.

One more unseccessfull test: Use our own java class precompiled to jar with all dependencies. We put it to …\SoapUI\Ext\. This test throws the same exceptions as clean groovy test.
