    It's because of a bug fix in Ready! API to be able to match mutliple values returned by an XPath. As you can see your XPath expression returns multiple values but expected value is only one. Please change the XPath expression to : //codeCategories[1]//codeCategory[2] or change the expected value to [A,B,C].

    Yes, you can use wildcards - so expected value in your case can be '*B*'.

     

    nmrao We should definitely include it in SoapUI OS - I will bring this up with MattiH (SoapUI OS Product Owner).

    Very nice to know PJat.

    Just curious to know if this will be part of SoapUI OS as well? Possibly in any upcoming release?

    Hi,

     

    thanks for the answer. But that does not really solve the problem. The results differ each time and could be [C,A,B] and the next time [B,C,A]. So how should the assertion then be? Is there a possibility to sort the results before the assertion or use wildcards?

     

    Thanks
