Wildcard for request.filter replace?

I'm trying to find all empty nodes and get rid of them with an Events request filter. ("Remove empty content" = true in the request property view is not doing the trick consistently.)

Is there a way to do this with a wildcard so I don't have to list all the nodes that could possibly be empty?

I'm on version 3.6.1.

thanks.

    Hi!

    hmm.. perhaps.. how are you selecting the nodes currently? What if you use an xpath like

    //ns:*[text()='']

    ?

    Ole,

    I'm using a replace filter that looks like this:

    context.requestContent = context.requestContent.replaceAll('<urn:UnderwritingCode/>', '')

    With your suggestion, what would that look like?

    Hi,

    oh, xpath-statements won't work in replaceAll - what is the issue the RemoveEmpty? If you need recursive removal you can try the following; add this script:

    context.RemoveEmptyRecursive = true

    to the Setup Script of your TestCase...

    does that make any difference?

    regards!

    Ole,

    That did it - and it has to be in the setup script for the request. Putting it in the Events tab at the project level didn't work.

    thanks!
