Seems to be duplicating wit this:

3

Can you check the file to see how it look like.

4

ending looks like this:

<xsd:pOrdPaymentAccounts>
<xsd:pOrdPaymentAccount>
<xsd:Provider>BPOINT</xsd:Provider>
<xsd:ResultKey>27cf6f69-1f29-4230-9be7-323c3a96969f</xsd:ResultKey>
<xsd:Amount>282.87</xsd:Amount>
</xsd:pOrdPaymentAccount>
</xsd:pOrdPaymentAccounts>
</xsd:CosOrderServices_setCosOrderEw>]]>
</pOrder>
<xRetCode_out/>
<xRetMsg_out/>
</cos:setCosCustOrderEw>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

SOAP
setCosCustOrderEw
import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.*

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.RequestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ResponseObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.verification.WSResponseManager

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

RequestObject request = WSResponseManager.getInstance().getCurrentRequest()

ResponseObject response = WSResponseManager.getInstance().getCurrentResponse()

5

Do you find the following fragment

<pOrder><![CDATA[<xsd:CosOrderServices_setCosOrderEW>
...

just before the fragmen you presented above?

6

Yes it has that fragment

7

There seems to be a bug somewhere.

In order to look into more deeply, I need a project in which I can reproduce the problem ("]]>" must not appear…) in my hand, but I do not have one.

BugFinder,

Is your target URL public and accessible for me? If so, is it possible for me to have a look at the Test Object you have, and your full text of Test Case?

8

hello @kazurayam. unfortunately the target URL is not public.

Test looks like this:

response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘SOAP/setCosCustOrderEw’))
WS.verifyResponseStatusCode(response, 200)

assertThat(response.getStatusCode()).isEqualTo(200)

9

Can you attach the file without trimming? — though you can remove sensitive info, of course.

10

Is there any resolution for this?

I’m interested in exploring how much Katalon can do for us, but all our SOAP messaging has CDATA sections.

Cheers
Phil

I also encounter this problem with Katalon Studio 7.2.1 : CDATA in SOAP request cause an error and makes the object to disappear from the Object Repository.
I would like to keep CDATA in my request to make them human-readable.
Thanks.
