Can SOAPUI PRO do relative xpaths?

Hello folks:

I have had to use absolute paths because I cannot find a way to do relative xpaths?

is this doable.

BTW point is pretty cool way to get the xpath lol your version of firebug!

 

  • Yes, it can do the relative paths as well. please explain in detail what exactly you trying to do? I'm using relative path to set SSL cert from bin folder of SoapUI

    sanj: I've been able to use various types of relative XPATH statements.

     

    Instead of doing something like: 

     

    //Element1/Element2/Element3/Element4

    You can use the relative path below to reach the same point. 

    //Element3/Element4

    Depending on how many times this element appears in your XML the XPATH is running against you may end up with a collection of values instead of a singular value. 

     

    I hope that helps!

    It would be helpful if you can send the sample message and what xpath you have already tried and facing issue?
