SoapUI Pro 2.0.2 property transfer is not operating as expected when using XPath statements, as follows.

Example XML:

<x><y1>aaa</y1><y2>bbb</y2><x>

With above XML in a previous test case step, I can use property transfer:

//x[1]

to pass value to another property, say.

But, the result now has some spaces added. Result is:

<x>   <y1>aaa</y1>   <y2>bbb</y2><x>

This has introduced unwanted spaces.

Problem is further compounded by XPath implementation used by SoapUI, which is sensitive to whitespace. That is, if the result is then transferred as above, with same XPath:

//x[1]

Result is just whitespace. Whenever there is whitespace between tags, XPath fails to return correct data.

Probably a bug. Any solution/workaround to this?

Cheers.

Hi Ole,

I tried switching off pretty print but to no avail.

Can you think of any other way around the issue?

Also, does SoapUI treat property values differently when using XML data as opposed to strings?

Hi,

thanks again, this was a bug that was pretty-printing the result of the property-transfer.. I've removed this for the next version..

regards!
