xml » assertSoapFaultCode(expected,xml)

Description

This command is useful to assert the expected error code as part of automating SOAP API calls. Here’s an example of a SOAP fault XML:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Body>
       <soap:Fault>
           <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
           <faultstring>Conversion to SOAP failed</faultstring>
           <detail>
               <CICSFault xmlns:soap="http://www.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/WSFault">
               DFHPI1008 25/01/2010 14:16:50 IYCWZCFU 00340 XML
               generation failed because of incorrect input 
               (CONTAINER_NOT_FOUND container name) for WEBSERVICE servicename. 
               </CICSFault> 
           </detail> 
       </soap:Fault>
   </soap:Body>  
</soap:Envelope>

This command extracts the text in the <faultcode> node and compare it against expected. The assumption here is that xml is a valid SOAP-compliant “fault” XML. If the specified xml is not a valid SOAP fault XML, this command will issue a FAIL result against the corresponding step.

Note that with (null) or (empty) as expected and an xml WITHOUT “fault code” will result in PASS - meaning, no fault code was expected and no fault code was found.

Nexial supports both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 message format.

Parameters

• expected - the expected fault code
• xml - the XML content or file
