Assertion with wildcards

Question

I am trying to use and XPath Match assertion to check the content of an element in a soap response. I want to use a wildcard to check for any character.
The soap response is

   <soap:Body>
      <GetDocumentBinaryResponse xmlns="http://sword-insurance.com/openplus/documentservice">
         <Root>
            <Document DocumentKey="166946" DocumentType="1" FileName="ITSD166946.doc">
               <File>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+ejyj/no8o/56SKP+ekij/npUo/56VKP+emCj/npgo/56bKP+emyj/nqQo/56kKP+epyj/nqco/56qKP+eqij/nq0o/56tKP+etCj/nrQo/563KP+etyj/nr0o/569KP+egCk/noApP56IKT+eiCk/npEpP56RKT+emik/npopP56dKT+enSk/nqApP56gKT+eoyk/nqMpP56mKT+epik/nqkpP56pKT+erCk/nqwpP56vKT+eryk/nrIpP56yKT+etSk/nrUpP564KT+euCk/nr8pP56/KT+ehil/no=</File>
            </Document>
         </Root>
      </GetDocumentBinaryResponse>
   </soap:Body>

My assertion is an Xpath Expression with;

Declare;
declare namespace ns1='http://sword-insurance.com/openplus/documentservice';
//ns1:File[1]

Expected Result
*
Allow wildcards is checked.

However, the assertion fails, saying "XPathContains comparison failed, expecting

, actual was [AAAAA....
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

Hi Richard,In the expected result mention:&lt;ns1:File&gt;*&lt;/ns1:File&gt;Allow wildcards must be checked.Regards,Rohit Shingalapurhttp://rohit-developerscorner.blogspot.com

Thanks for the suggestion Rohit, but that just gives"XPathContains comparison failed, expecting [&lt;ns1:File&gt;*&lt;/ns1:File&gt;], actual was [zxHgobEa4QAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...etc"

Hi,The xpath expression should go like this :declare namespace ns1='http://sword-insurance.com/openplus/documentservice';//ns1:Document[1]followed by the expected result :&lt;File&gt;*&lt;/File&gt;just make sure the "Wild Card" option is checked.I hope this will help.Regards,{Pradeep Bishnoi}http://learnsoapui.wordpress.com

Hi Pradeep,Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work either.  It givesXPathContains assertion failed for path [declare namespace ns1='http://sword-insurance.com/openplus/documentservice'; //ns1:Document[1]] : Exception:org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff [different] Expected namespace URI 'null' but was 'http://sword-insurance.com/openplus/documentservice' - comparing   at /File[1] to   at /Document[1]

I guess we just missed out the namespace in the Expected result.
<ns1:File>*</ns1:File>

and also then check the "Ignore namespace". If it doesn't work, then kindly share the what you get on clicking the "Select from Current". There you can replace the result with *.
