5.5.0
5.2.1

Example Playbook

To install the latest version of SoapUI:

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

To install a specific version, change the soapui_version:

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

To change the Java home for SoapUI scripts:

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

This adds a line to each script file in {{ soapui_install_dir }}/bin: PATH=/opt/java/bin:$PATH With this setup, you can have multiple JDKs and SoapUI will use the correct one.

Important: This role does not include a Java runtime for running SoapUI and has no dependencies. To install both a JDK and the latest SoapUI version:

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