    text
    copied!<p>I'm writing a Spock test, in which I have a REST web service that returns an XML like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;templates&gt; &lt;userTemplate id="1109"&gt; &lt;settingsXml/&gt; &lt;type&gt;USER&lt;/type&gt; &lt;label&gt;template111&lt;/label&gt; &lt;description&gt;template111&lt;/description&gt; &lt;/userTemplate&gt; &lt;userTemplate id="1141" isAutomaticTemplate="true"&gt; &lt;settingsXml/&gt; &lt;type&gt;USER&lt;/type&gt; &lt;label&gt;An updated user template&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/userTemplate&gt; &lt;/templates&gt; </code></pre> <p>My test want to verify that a particular userTemplate it is <strong>not</strong> in this document. So, using HTTP Builder's REST client and XMLSlurper, I'm doing the following:</p> <pre><code> res = settingsService.get(path: "templates") res.status == 200 def delTemplate = res.data.userTemplate.find { println it.@id == newUserTemplateId it.@id == newUserTemplateId } delTemplate </code></pre> <p>I would have thought that <em>delTemplate</em> would be null after calling <strong>find</strong> (because there's no template with that id; the expresion println it.@id == newUserTemplateId always prints <em>false</em>, in this case the value of <em>newUserTemplateId</em> is 1171).<br> However, <em>delTemplate</em> is of type groovy.util.slurpersupport.NoChildren, and it seems to contain a userTemplate element.</p> <p>Funny thing is if I write a quick script with the same XML as text (as oppossed of reading it from REST), <code>res.userTemplate.find { it.@id == 1171 }</code> returns null as expected.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong, or how could I solve this?</p>
