SoapUI Import doesn't work properly for me?

Hey,
When I tried to import a SoapUI project to Katalon Studio, it only mapped out the tests into directories, but didn’t create any “Web Service Request” object.
The SoapUI .xml file seems fine, so I can’t really tell why it fails to import it properly.
Anyone knows why this happens?

If it helps, I’m using Katalon Studio 10.0.0 on Windows 11

What do you mean “a SoapUI project”? It may be perfectly obvious to you, but not to other guys in this forum. Please describe your issue with more information.

I tried following this guide - Import web service requests from SoapUI to Katalon Studio

I imported my SoapUI project (Which is basically a really big .xml file), it only mapped out the directories int the form of paths for each “Endpoint test”, but didn’t actually create any “Web Service Request” objects.

We need some Katalon people to be involved in this issue.

@oren

Are you a paying license holder? If yes, you should raise an official support request for this issue.

No,
Currently I’m using the free version to see if it fits my company’s needs.

Hi @oren,

Welcome to our community. Thank you for sharing your issue. Sorry for my late response. To import SOAP requests, please follow the video on our lesson here: https://academy.katalon.com/courses/katalon-api-testing/. You can also learn more other courses on: https://academy.katalon.com/. Or study with me, Elly, at Study With Me - Katalon Community.

Thank you!

Hey @Elly_Tran ,
I’ve looked at the API testing course - sadly, it doesn’t have the solution I’m looking for…

The course speaks about importing singular SOAP requests, while I need to Import an entire SoapUI project to Katalon Studio.

I’ve contacted Katalon Studio support, but do you have a different solution perhaps?

hey @oren,

thanks for bringing this up, we’re looking into this issue and will keep you posted.

hey @oren,

we cannot reproduce this issue, can we have the error log for better investigation? Thanks

Hey @Shin ,
I attached the log file here - Error Log (827.7 KB)

For now, I did find a work-around -

  1. I installed SoapUI
  2. I imported my SoapUI project into SoapUI.
  3. In SoapUI, I exported the project’s Swagger/OpenAPI Definition (In JSON format)
  4. I imported the JSON file into My Katalon Studio object repository “From OpenAPI”

However, it was a cumbersome process and it took me 2 weeks to get to that.
I would appreciate if you could help me with fixing the SoapUI import issue :slight_smile:

@oren

Are you going to use Katalon Studio for API testing? Are you serious?

I evaluate the API testing feature of Katalon Studio is not good. It has several shortcomings identified years ago and left unfixed. Among others, you can not get any binary contents out of Katalon’s ResponseObject.

No PDF, No JPEG/PNG, No Excel, No Zip are supported. For me, it is too poor.

As I said before, I’m still testing the product to see if it fits my company’s needs.
I only figured out how to import my API request objects 1 hour ago and still haven’t got to testing that.
Clearly, I didn’t know about this :slight_smile:
Thank you for letting me know. I’ll definitely take it into consideration

@oren Thanks for exploring Katalon Studio for your API Testing demand.

I went through the error log attachment but couldn’t find useful information. It would be great if you could reproduce it again and send us the Console log. See the screenshot below for the Console log

Hey @duy.lam ,
I tried importing the SoapUI project again and checked the console, but it’s still empty -

@duy.lam
I also checked the event log and it didn’t have any relevant comments.
Could it be that this feature is for Enterprise license (Which I don’t have) and is accidentally not blocked for some reason?
