Savon 2 how to add attribute to message_tag

Question

In Savon 1, I could use the soap.input to add xmlns like following:

soap_client = Savon.client("http://pathtowsdl.com/a.svc?wsdl")

response = soap_client.request "AnAction" do
  http.headers["soapAction"] = "AnAction"
  soap.input = ["AnAction", {"xmlns" => "http://apathtosomething.com"}]
  soap.body = {
    "SomeAttribute" => "SomeValue"
  }
end

In Savon 2, I can do client.call(:authenticate, message_tag: :authenticationRequest) but how to add the xmlns to the authenticationRequest tag?

Answer 1

You have to add the attribute to the call, eg.

client.call('CreateRequest', :attributes => { 'xmlns' => 'xyz' })

Answer 2

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'savon'

soap_client = Savon.client( endpoint: 'http://example.com',
                            namespace: 'http://v1.example.com')
soap_client.call(:authenticate, 
                 message_tag: :authenticationRequest, 
                 :attributes => { "xmlns" => "http://apathtosomething.com" })

outputs
