Xpath assertions

Hi there,

I have an xml response like :
<abcd>
<e>
<example1>
<id>4</id>
<type>XYZ</type>
<uri>/efgh/edk</uri>
</example1>
</e>
</abcd>

I am trying to validate the id using xpath assertion with the following expression :
//*:abcd/*:e/*:example1/*:id

when I click on 'Select from current' , I get the correct expected result, I save and run the test, its perfectly fine.

When I run the same test using maven, I get comparison failure error.
Please help me with this.

    Re: Missing dependencies in repository for maven-soapui-plug

    Postby pcornish » 06 Jul 2011 18:08
    Guys,

    I'm now seeing this behaviour for version 4 of the maven-soapui-plugin. Assertions pass in soapUI 4.0.0 but fail when the project is run via the Maven plugin.

    The XPath assertions pass fine using version 3.6.1 of the plugin, but fail with the following error when using 4.0.0 or 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT dependencies.

    Code: Select all

    My advice would be to stick on SoapUi 3.6.1 or even 3.5.1 like me unless you require an upgrade for a reason.
    The newer versions have a lot of regression issues.

    I noticed as well that the maven plugin is missing some dependencies. Always run the test with testrunner as well, and then start comparing libs which are in soapui installation against lib used by maven. With -X it should be possible to find out which ones are used.

    My current extension of dependencies is:

         <dependency>
          <!-- not automatic resolved dependency of maven-soapui-pro-plugin -->
          <groupId>jgoodies</groupId>
          <artifactId>looks</artifactId>
          <version>2.2.0</version>
         </dependency>
         <dependency>
          <!-- not automatic resolved dependency of maven-soapui-pro-plugin -->
          <groupId>fife</groupId>
          <artifactId>rsyntaxtextarea</artifactId>
          <version>1.3.4</version>
         </dependency>
         <dependency>
          <groupId>junit</groupId>
          <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
          <version>4.8</version>
         </dependency> 
         <dependency>
             <groupId>org.apache.xmlbeans</groupId>
             <artifactId>xmlbeans-xpath</artifactId>
             <version>2.4.0</version>
         </dependency>
