When you install ReadyAPI, it places the files into several locations on your machine. This topic explains where you can find them.
You place Java extension libraries, for example, those used to connect to JDBC databases, in the <ReadyAPI folder>\bin\ext folder.
Note
We have identified some use cases where ReadyAPI Windows users required broader character encoding through UTF-8. To set encoding to UTF-8, you need to make one configuration change to <readyapi-installation-folder>\bin\ReadyAPI.vmoptions. Insert a new line at the end and add -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8. Save, close the file, and open ReadyAPI. For additional details on setting the encoding to UTF-8, refer to this page.
ReadyAPI stores its configuration settings in the <User Folder>/.readyapi/readyapi‑settings.xml file.
The default workspace is created when you install ReadyAPI. It is stored in the <User Folder>/default-soapui-workspace.xml file. Workspaces created manually can be stored in any folder.
Plugin files are stored in the <User Folder>/.soapui/plugins folder.
ReadyAPI stores log files in the <User Folder>/.readyapi/logs folder.
ReadyAPI stores log files in the <User Folder>/.readyapi/logs folder.
When you run tests, ReadyAPI gathers logs. To make sure the project file does not grow with each test run, we store the results in individual database files:
The
<username>/.readyapi/db/readyapi.h2.dbfile contains information about the test runs that you can access from the History and Transaction Log tabs.The
<username>/.readyapi/db/dashboard.h2.dbfile contains information that is displayed on the dashboard.The
.readyapi/loadui/resultsfolder holds the information displayed on the ReadyAPI Performance Statistics page.
