I'm trying to select an email in my automation code in outlook. I want to select the email by the name but the name contains the send date that I don't know. So I'm trying to find it out after Xpath.
Here is how I try to find it.
'//#[starts-with(normalize-space(text()), "From user-1, Subject testing sendmail,")]'
I get this error:
Original error: Invalid XPath expression: //#[starts-with(normalize-space(text()), "From reporter-user-1, Sub
ject testing sendmail,")]
//# is invalid syntax. If you want to check name attribute you need to use either //#* or //#name

I am trying to create an intake process where where a response from a Microsoft Form creates an item into our SharePoint queue for my team to work. This workflow has some branching so some questions may not always need answers. When the "Date of Change" field is used as intended in the workflow by the user, everything works correctly and appears in our queue. When the user goes down a path where the "Date of Change" field is not needed or a part of the workflow, I receive the below error and the results are never pushed to our queue.
Error Message:
The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/DateofChange' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '""' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'.
Workflow Images:
To fix this I have tried making the field "Not required" in hopes that if left blank it would not get read by the flow.
I have also tried, changing the format of the column from Date and time to Single Line of Text and neither of those have worked.
Try an expression instead of the dynamic content field. In this expression check for empty with the empty function. If it is empty use the null value.
Below is an example
Make sure you change the question id to your question id in the expression.
if(empty(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/rec7e8e58aab84f49a27cacc460a7eeaf']), null, outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/rec7e8e58aab84f49a27cacc460a7eeaf'])
In one of the API solution, incoming request is in XML format, and i need to fetch first child node tag name to make decision to run the logic. I am using xpath to get the tag name, when in am running xpath i am getting error "Can not convert #STRING to a NodeList"
I have tried with local-name and name, but both are giving same error.
my xml is as below
<p:Check xmlns:p="http://amarwayx.com.cu/WCSXMLSchema/creptonium">
<AttributeChnageLocal>
<TaskID>17723</TaskID>
<BatchID>12345</BatchID>
<Expiry>2022-12-06</Expiry>
<TimeStamp>2019-07-20T22:45:48</TimeStamp>
</AttributeChnageLocal>
</p:Check>
and Xpath i used are
local-name(/p:Check/*)
name(/p:Check/*)
local-name(/p:Check/*[1])
name(/p:Check/*[1])
how ever is some online xpath evaluator has evaluated correct name(AttributeChnageLocal), i am not getting where the xpath syntax is wrong.
below is my tool snapshot.
same kind of expression works fine
You have ticked a box labelled "store the string value of the selected node as text", which suggests that the XPath evaluation tool you are using expects your XPath expression to select a node; but it doesn't, it selects a string.
I don't know what this tool you are using is, but unfortunately all its options seem to assume that you are selecting nodes.
I've been trying to use the following X-Path within Google-Sheets with the =ImportXML function
=importXml("http://www.managetickets.com/morecApp/ticketSearchAndStatusTicketList.jsp?msgCount=23&outputEmail=&db=nd", "/table[2]/tbody/tr#[td]")
But no matter what minor adjustments I try I continually get "#N/A" with a hover-text box that says "imported content is empty".
I know it's a valid x-path, I've cross verified it with 'X-Path Helper Wizard' chrome-extension.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong!?
No, actually it's not a valid XPath. Note that # used to select an attributes e.g. #class, #id, etc. Also it's a bad idea to use tbody tag in your expressions as this tag is not always present in initial source code
So if you want to match table rows which contain cells from second table, you can use
/table[2]//tr[td]
I want to click on 'Select' where preceding block contains text, "Byron Test 20150904". This text is dynamic
After trial and error i find the answer
//div[#id='itOverview']/div[.//a[contains(text(),'Byron Test 20150904')]]/div/div[3]/div[2]/a
I want to use an assertion "expected result" that uses both some form of "contains" function or wildcard AND gets the text to test against from an Excel dataSource. The SoapUI 'contains' function has no way to use a dataSource that I've found, and I cannot figure out how to use an XPath function like contains with a dataSource. Can someone please explain how that works?

I've been asked for more detail.
In SoapUI, if I add an assertion and choose the request/response as the source, I then have a choice of assertions. One of them is "XPath Match". I can use that to designate a specific field in the response, in this case, which value I want to test.
Having chosen the "XPath expression" in the top half of the "XPath Match Configuration", I can then choose my Excel dataSource as the content for the lower half "Expected Result". I have used this to test an error code against an error code from the Excel spreadsheet.
What I don't know how to do is determine, in this assertion, that the error message returned contains the value in Excel. I figure something special goes into "Expected Result" in the "XPath Match Configuration" box, but I don't know what.
The Expected Result of the XPath assertion is only a "dumb" string. The best that you can do in this field is property expansion ... which does not help your cause.
Instead you will need to use the top portion, where you can enter XPath Expression, that provides the logic you are looking for. Your XPath expression will need to look something like:
contains(//*:some/*:node, '${data_source#property}')
and your Expected Value will be simply:
true
Convenient reference, in case you need it.
