Property transfer Missing match for source xpath

[AndresEnriquez]

Hello people, I am new to SOAPUI, I hope any of you could help me.

From the following XML I'm trying to get the  <ns3:segmentReference> VALUE with a PROPERTY TRANSFER teststep.

For that I clicked in the "ns" button to bring me the namespaces and declare them, and what I typed afterwards is:

//ns3:segmentReference

But that doesn't seem to work, it says "null" or "Missing match for source xpath"

I tried the longer version of the path but still won't work.

Could you point out what I am doing wrong? 

Thanks in advance

I believe it is because of multiple of "segmentReference".
To drill down to single value, use the reference of segmentId

[AndresEnriquez]

Thanks for your quick reply @nmrao 😊

In order to do this: To drill down to single value, use the reference of segmentId. Do I have to use Xquery?

Could you teach me how to do it?

Sorry for the basic questions, It's been days since I'm using the program.

Cheers

I have been reading other posts and articles about Xquery and I wrote this piece of code

<asdf>
{
for $a in //ns3:segmentInfoList/ns3:segmentInfo
where $a/ns3:segmentId='AltaPrepSur'
return <ns3:segmentReference> {data($a/ns3:segmentReference/text())} </ns3:segmentReference>
}
</asdf>

but it doesn't seem to work, it returns the tag <asdf>

[nmrao · Accepted solution]

Please try below xpath
//*:segmentInfo[*:segmentId='AltaPrepSur']/*:segmentReference/text()

[AndresEnriquez]

Awesome!

That worked perfectly

I have a lot to learn about xquery language

Do you have any guide recomendation?

Thanks a lot @nmrao !
