XPath assertion with wildcards

Hello ,

In an xpath assertion , after I get the expected result via select from current  , and replace some value with wildcard , then the test fails .

This is my xpath assertion :

Declare :

//ns1:getCampaignItemOverviewResponse/getCampaignItemOverviewReturn/ciid[.='${Properties: Test Case Generated Settings#draft campaign -> campaign item 1 id}']/../extra/
item/key[.='unsubscribed']/../value/item/key[.='nr']/../value

Result: select from current :

0

That is ok , but now, I want to replace the constant value ( in this case 0 ) in expected result with a wildcard * and using 'allow wildcards' , but then it says

XPathContains assertion failed for path [declare namespace soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'; declare namespace ns1='urn:addemar'; declare namespace addemar='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'; //ns1:getCampaignItemOverviewResponse/getCampaignItemOverviewReturn/ciid[.='${Properties: Test Case Generated Settings#draft campaign -> campaign item 1 id}']/../extra/ item/key[.='unsubscribed']/../value/item/key[.='nr']/../value] : XmlValueDisconnectedException:null

kind regards

    Hi,

    hmm.. I can't reproduce this straight off.. do you have a more detailed error or stacktrace in the error log maybe? Can you show the exact response message you are asserting? Are you using 2.5 final?

    regards!

    Hello ,

    I am using 2.5 (build dist-101-2008-11-18, build date 2008/11/18 23:05)

    This is the raw response :

    hello ,

    the property value is
    6
    for ${Properties: Test Case Generated Settings#draft campaign -> campaign item 1 id}

    By the way , this property value is also transfered into the request soap message .

    kind regards ,

    Hi Werner,

    thank you.. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this with a standalone request in a testcase, would it be possible for you to attach or mail me the soapUI project containing this testcase/request/assertion so I can see if something else could be causing this?

    regards!
