Formatting a SoapUI Project File

Question

I use the free edition of SoapUI (version 4.6.1) and notice that its project files are very poorly formatted. Many of its elements are not on dedicated lines or indented like one would expect of a large XML file maintained by developers.

This makes it more difficult to diff & merge changes to source-controlled project files.

I am aware that SoapUI Pro offers a way to address this diff & merge difficulty with an option for multi-file composite projects as another SO question & answer describe; but I would like to have a better experience with the free edition of SoapUI.

Is there a way to make SoapUI format its project files?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this. Preferences -> WSDL Settings -> Pretty Print Project Files.
