Originally created by @arpymastro on GitHub (Dec 20, 2018).

I want to create a mock server for SOAP service which accepts XML request body. I'm using XPathMatcher for request matching but it is always showing "No matching found".

My request body -

<s:Envelope
        xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
        xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <s:Header>
    <ns1:RequestHeader
         s:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"
         s:mustUnderstand="0"
         xmlns:ns1="https://www.google.com/apis/ads/publisher/v201811">
      <ns1:networkCode>123456</ns1:networkCode>
      <ns1:applicationName>Api_test</ns1:applicationName>
    </ns1:RequestHeader>
  </s:Header>
  <s:Body>
    <getMyData xmlns="https://www.google.com/apis/ads/publisher/v201811">
      <ReqUID>myID-12345</ReqUID>
      <filterStatement>
        <query>WHERE parentId IS NULL LIMIT 500</query>
      </filterStatement>
    </getMyData>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

I am using below json for request matching -

{
	"Request": {
        "Path": {
            "Matchers": [
                {
                    "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "/xpath",
                    "IgnoreCase": false
                }
            ]
        },
        "Methods": [
            "post"
        ],
        "Body": {
            "Matcher": {
                "Name": "XPathMatcher",
                "Pattern": "/getMyData"
            }
        }
    },
	"Response": {
        	"StatusCode": 200,
        	"BodyAsFile": "__admin//mappings//getMyDataResponse.xml",
        	"UseTransformer": false
    	}

}
  1. Is my request body matcher pattern incorrect?
  2. Is there a way to read a request body from files? If yes, which matcher can be used?

  1. I think it should be "Pattern": "//getMyData"

  2. Not possible.

Try
/s:Envelope/s:Body/*[local-name()='getMyData']

@StefH
Tried all below combinations but still no luck -
/s:Envelope/s:Body/*[local-name()='getMyData']

/s:Envelope[@xmlns:s=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"]/s:Body/getMyData[@xmlns=\"https://www.google.com/apis/ads/publisher/v201811\"]

//s:Envelope/s:Body/*[local-name()='getMyData']

I did test this:

{
        "Guid": "5c0b6f3c-a5b7-4d81-90a3-fd18097d023f",
        "Priority": 0,

            "Path": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "/xpathsoap",
                        "IgnoreCase": false
                    }
                ]
            },
            "Methods": [
                "POST"
            ],
            "Body": {
                "Matcher": {
                    "Name": "XPathMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "//*[local-name() = 'getMyData']"
                }
            }
        },
        "Response": {
            "Body": "<xml>ok</xml>",
            "UseTransformer": false,
            "Headers": {
                "Content-Type": "application/xml"
            }
        }
    }

The console logging displays:

"RequestMatchResult": {
    "TotalScore": 3.0,
    "TotalNumber": 3,
    "IsPerfectMatch": true,
    "AverageTotalScore": 1.0,

        "Score": 1.0
      },
      {
        "Name": "BodyMatcher",
        "Score": 1.0
      }
    ]
  }

@StefH
Thank you!

Can you point me to a article/tutorial/utility where I can learn to extract XPath from XML? I might need to create complex pattern for my requirement

Sorry I don't know any tutorials. Mostly I search the internet and stackoverflow.

But there are some online xpath validators which you can use to verify your request xml.
