getNodeValue is not passing the value from XPath to variable

Oh By the way I am using SOAP UI Pro 2.5.1

Hi,

you have a syntax error in your code
istead of
def responseId = holder.getNodeValue["//ns2:getServicePResponse/ns2:getServicePReturn/serviceP/id"];
you need this:
def responseId = holder.getNodeValue("//ns2:getServicePResponse/ns2:getServicePReturn/ns2:serviceP/ns2:id");

hope this helps

Hi Nebojsa

When I do the update you suggested

//Compare values in XML response with property values taken from the database
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent );
//Get nodeValue - "Id"
def responseId = holder.getNodeValue["//ns2:getServicePResponse/ns2:getServicePReturn/ns2:serviceP/ns2:id"];
//get value from test step for comparison db retrieval
def propId = context.getProperty( "getIdfromDB", "DbId" );
//assert Comparison on captured values
assert (responseId == propId);
log.info responseId+" "+propId


I still get the same message where

Expression: (responseId == propId). Values: responseId = [], propId = 123456789

and when I change it to


//Compare values in XML response with property values taken from the database
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent );
//Get nodeValue - "Id"
def responseId = holder.getNodeValue("//ns2:getServicePResponse/ns2:getServicePReturn/ns2:serviceP/ns2:id");
//get value from test step for comparison db retrieval
def propId = context.getProperty( "getIdfromDB", "DbId" );
//assert Comparison on captured values
assert (responseId == propId);
log.info responseId+" "+propId


I still get the same message where

Expression: (responseId == propId). Values: responseId = null, propId = 123456789

any ideas?

Hi!

yes.. you need to define the correct namespaces for the holder since the id is in the default namespace.. try the following:

..

holder.namespaces["ns"] = "http://www.YYY.YYY/schema/FindService"
def responseId = holder.getNodeValue["//ns:id"];

..

Does that help?

regards!

I have tried a number of variations here and still the same message.  I have 3 namespaces in the actual code.  Woudl that make any difference ?  Though I have tried naming all three.  I am copying the actual script assertion X ing out the URL I can capture the request with no problem but the response remains as [].  Can you see something I am missing here?

//Capture data returned from service and compare it to the database pull for the same ID's
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );
//Capture Message Response
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent );
holder.namespaces["S"] = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
holder.namespaces["ns1"] = "http://www.cc.ddd/schema/Person";
holder.namespaces["ns2"] = "http://www.cc.ddd/schema/PersonService";
def responseVaId = holder.getNodeValue["//ns2:id"];//Capture Message Request
def request = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.requestContent );
def requestPersonId = request.getNodeValue["//per:getContactInfo/per:personId"];
//Write to log value from Response
//log.info (holder.getNodeValue(["//ns2:id"]))
//Get property from DB Call = Loop
def propVaid = context.getProperty( "getVaIdFromDB", "va_id" )
// Verify that DB Data, Service REsponse match expected from DB Test Property
assert responseVaId == propVaid;
//assert (requestPersonId = propVaid)//This assertion passes when uncommmented
//write to log values of response and DB call
log.info (responseVaId+" "+propVaid);
//log.info (requestPersonId+" "+propVaid);


The same message is thrown with the responseVaId  = []

Has anyone run into this issue before?  I have tried the same assert on SOAP UI 2.5.1 and 3.0.1 Proversions.  I don't understand why using the same syntax I am able to get the Request holder back but the response always returns [] so of course the assertion fails.  I have viewed many of the posts here and have tried a variety of situations.  I have declared namespaces and that doesn't seem to be the issue.  Is there some way to manually parse the XML so that I can capture the values individually?

Regards

Are you still having this problem??

I had a similar issue and was able to fix it by specifying the namespace via holder.namespaces...

It's a bit hard to help you debug without seeing your response.

Can you send your response with the proper namespaces still in the XML (the one in your original post doesn't match your code), and I'll have a crack at helping you?

S.

Ok here is the response.  Any help would be appreciated I am still having the issue.

So I'd write something like this:


groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );
holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("#Response");
holder.namespaces["ns2"] = "http://www.cc.ddd/schema/PersonService";
def responseId = holder.getNodeValue("//ns2:id");

log.info (responseId);

This is very similar to what I have running over here and it works a treat.
