The script provided earlier was also used as a groovy test step, and the script am using now is also as a groovy test step.

You can check the screenshot i sent.

If you read the post again, it clearly says Scipt Assertion (for the same step where you get the response). No additional step. Please correct it and try again.

    I tried to use the script as script assertion to the request where i am getting the response. But i am getting the same error.

    Not sure what has changed, it is parsing the values but not able to pick the one which is described. 

    And the past script i used as a groovy script and worked perfectly.

    Could please check and help me again. Check the screenshot.

    Thanks again.

      Oct21,

      The response in the earlier question has <CDATA> in it and the response attached in this does not have that. Hence you are getting that.
