Invalid date value in SOAP Response

[xavier1]

Hi,

I've got difficulties to use properties in a soap response. 

When using this syntax:

<ns:currentTime>2019-01-29T14:45:32.345Z</ns:currentTime>, no problems the syntax is Valid regarding the wdsl file given to SoapUI.

I try to replace the fixed string 2019-01-29T14:45:32.345Z by a project property defined as:

Name = dateTime and Value = 2019-01-29T14:45:32.345Z

And use it like this

<ns:currentTime>${Project#dateTime}</ns:currentTime>

The result is Invalid date value: ${Project#dateTime}

ns:currentTime is an xml s:dateTime

Where do I make a mistake ? Thanks.

Trivial error.
Use - ${#Project#dateTime}

[xavier1]

Unfortunately it doesn't work either. Invalid date value: ${#Project#dateTime}

<ns:bootNotificationResponse>
<ns:status>Rejected</ns:status>
<ns:currentTime>${#Project#dateTime}</ns:currentTime>
<ns:heartbeatInterval>60</ns:heartbeatInterval>
</ns:bootNotificationResponse>

@xavier1,
Can you please show it with screen shots? How it is saved in properties, how it is placed in the request, and actual error from server side.

Hi,

The SOAP mock response

The test case

The overview of the project. I've tried different syntax for "dateTime" and nothing seems to work.

"2019-01-29T14:45:32.345Z" => Invalid date value

'2019-01-29T14:45:32.345Z' => Invalid date value

2019-01-29T14:45:32.345Z => Invalid date value

Can you try below? which would return current time if that is ok for you.

${= java.time.OffsetDateTime.now().format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ssZ'))}

[xavier1]

Thanks for your help but I still have the same error message with this syntax.

I've also tried with the other value like heartBeatInterval and I also have the same kind of error.

What does SoapUI check to say thsi is an invalid date value ?

Xavier

When do you get that error?

[nmrao]

Getting error on validate? What if you hit the mock service without validating it?

[xavier1]

Yes the error is when I use Validate.

I've cheked, if I don't use validate the mock service works and I can see the current date time.
