Check previous test step for the existence of a value

Hopefully this is something that is covered off in the existing functionality of Ready API.   I have a value in the results of Test Step B which is the Amount 742.50   <ns2:Rates> <ns2:RateTotal...

thatsthat,

relying on a fixed position (using indexes in your XPath) in XML may be fragile. Next time you may get additional elements, and your XPath will no longer work.

 

That's where a query helps.

 

What kind of response do you get if you test the following expressions:

 

//ns2:BuyTotal/ns2:Amount[text() = 742.50]

 

count(//ns2:BuyTotal/ns2:Amount[text() = 742.50]) > 0

The thing is .. this does not point to the test step I need to collect the information from .. so I believe I am not constructing the message correctly .. 

 

count(//ns2:BuyTotal/ns2:Amount[text() = 742.50]) > 0

So i get:

The XPath Match assertion failed for the following path: [declare namespace ns2='http://www.xyz.com/gateway/fire/schema'; declare namespace env='http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'; //ns2:BuyTotal/ns2:Amount[text() = 742.50]]. Expected value: [394.50]; Actual value: [].
