Wiremock: xpath not working if xmlns is present - xpath

Question

I am creating stub in wiremock. If I have xmlns in xml then it doesn't match however, without that It works.
Request
curl -d '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><a xmlns="http://www.example.com/namespaces/ad"><b>1</b><c>2</c><d>9407339517</d></a>' -i -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -X POST "http://localhost:8080/test"
Stub Json
{
"request": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "/test",
"headers" : {
"Content-Type" : {
"equalTo" : "text/xml"
}
},
"bodyPatterns" : [ {
"matchesXPath" : "/stuff:a[b='1'][c='2']",
"xPathNamespaces" : {
"stuff" : "http://www.example.com/namespaces/ad"
}
} ]
},
"response": {
"body": "Hello world!",
"status": 200
}
}
Along with above mentioned way, I have tried with local-name() too.

Answer 1

When there is a namespace present on a (grand) parent then on the (grand) children inherit the same namespace. So your /b and /c should be prefixed with /stuff:b or /stuff:c
{
"request": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "/test",
"headers" : {
"Content-Type" : {
"equalTo" : "text/xml"
}
},
"bodyPatterns" : [ {
"matchesXPath" : "/stuff:a[./stuff:b='1'][./stuff:c='2']",
"xPathNamespaces" : {
"stuff" : "http://www.example.com/namespaces/ad"
}
} ]
},
"response": {
"body": "Hello world!",
"status": 200
}
}
