soapui_version: '5.7.0'

# Download url for SoapUI tarball
soapui_download_url: 'http://dl.eviware.com/soapuios/{{ soapui_version }}'

# Base installation directory
soapui_install_dir: '/opt/soapui/{{ soapui_version }}'

soapui_download_dir: "{{ x_ansible_download_dir | default(ansible_env.HOME + '/.ansible/tmp/downloads') }}"

• 5.7.0
• 5.6.1
• 5.6.0

Example Playbook

Installs latest version from SoapUI

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: arolfes.soapui

You can install a specific version of SoapUI by specifying the soapui_version.

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: arolfes.soapui
       soapui_version: '4.6.4'

You can change the java_home for all soapui *.sh files

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: arolfes.soapui
       soapui_version: '4.6.4'
       soapui_java_home: /opt/java

This will add a new line to each shell file in {{ soapui_install_dir }}/bin Content of the new line PATH=/opt/java/bin:$PATH With this simple approach you can have multiple JDKs and SoapUI uses that one related for it.

Remember: This role doesn't provide a java runtime to execute SoapUI and it hasn't a dependency. This example installs a jdk and the latest version from SoapUI.

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: gantsign.java
      java_version: '8'
      java_is_default_installation: yes
    - role: arolfes.soapui

Role Facts

This role exports the following Ansible facts for use by other roles:

• ansible_local.soapui.general.version

  • e.g. 5.7.0

• ansible_local.soapui.general.home

  • e.g. /opt/soapui/5.7.0

Development & Testing

This project uses Molecule to aid in the development and testing; the role is unit tested using Testinfra and pytest.

To develop or test you'll need to have installed the following:

• Linux (e.g. Ubuntu)
• Docker
• Python (including python-pip)
• Ansible
• Molecule

Because the above can be tricky to install, this project includes Molecule Wrapper. Molecule Wrapper is a shell script that installs Molecule and it's dependencies (apart from Linux) and then executes Molecule with the command you pass it.

To test this role using Molecule Wrapper run the following command from the project root:

./moleculew test

Note: some of the dependencies need sudo permission to install.
