LoadRunner xpath search in xml response

Question

I need to pick up the value

'myvalue'

in this soap response:

</something>
<id>myvalue</id>

Using LoadRunners lr_xml_get_values() function I want to get the value 'myvalue' from the response, and I thought this would work:

lr_xml_get_values("XML={response}", ValueParam=mv", "Query=//something/id/id", LAST);

But LoadRunner cannot find the value.

I guess it has to do With the / in .

So how do I specify (correctly) this xpath in LoadRunner?

Here is the complete xml response

Answer 1

In the soap response you've provided, <id> is not a subelement of </something>, as it comes after the end-tag (if <id> was within <something></something>, then you'd be closer to a correct query). Also, why do you have ìd twice in your Query? If I'm not totally mistaken, Query=//id would be sufficient to fetch myvalue in that response.

Answer 2

Please copy paste the below code in action of the web service and run it.

i capture the account number from the SOAP which you have provided and it will help you to understand and capture any values.
