How to use Query_Match for the user interface for soap

I'm having problems using the MockOperation editor in the Soap UI.

I have this query:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Body> <methodName xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <dataAreaId>error</dataAreaId> <pInvoiceList> <dataAreaId>NOTTHESAME</dataAreaId> ... </pInvoiceList> </methodName> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>

I tried almost every XPATH expression, but always get "No match in request"

What to fill in the Xpath field?

I tried:

  • // dataAreaId / text ()
  • // dataAreaId /
  • // dataAreaId
  • / dataAreaId / text ()
  • / dataAreaId
  • / MethodName / dataAreaId / text ()
  • / MethodName / dataAreaId /
  • / name Method / dataAreaId

I finally managed to get it based on the response from user1740631

It seems I dealt with namespaces after.

The correct syntax is:

 declare namespace tem='http://tempuri.org/'; //tem:methodName/tem:dataAreaId[1]

Write like this

For the first

// MethodName [1] / dataAreaId [1]

For the second

// MethodName [1] / pInvoiceList [1] / dataAreaId [1]

* If you have multiple nodes with the same name in Xml, you must use numbers to find this particular node.

If you do not need namespaces, you can use the following syntax:

XPath1.0

 //*[local-name() = 'methodName']/*[local-name() = 'dataAreaId'][1]

XPath2.0

 //*:methodName/*:dataAreaId[1]

There is a good hint: when defining a statement for a test system (or, possibly, also in the pop-up window), the "Declare" button appears above the XPath-Expression field. Actually, it doesn’t look like a button until you point the mouse at it, so I didn’t understand it at first.

Just click the SoapUI button (I actually use 5.2.1) will add declarations for you that you can use.

I found this function by coincidence, since it is not visible. Perhaps this will help too ...
