Robot Framework - Ride: Post Request unable to get response body

I Wrote this test where i post a contract in a backoffice system. I made a keyword with a forloop which picks up xmls from a systemfolder.

In order to make the test pass, i want to check the values in de response. When I use RF/Ride to perform this test it is not possible to get the responsebody, if i conduct the same test in Postman/SoapUI i can see the responsebody

When i ask for the response.headers i get the expected data

The test in Ride:

*** Test Cases *** XML
    [Template]    Template post contract BO
    apitest1.xml
*** Keywords *** Template post contract BO
    [Arguments]    @{bestandlijst}
    : FOR    ${bestand}    IN    @{bestandlijst}
    \    &{headers}=    Create dictionary    Content-type=application/xml
    \    ${bestandophalen}=    Get Binary File    ${bestand}
    \    Create Session    Backoffice    https://url        
    \    ${response}=    Post Request    Backoffice    /isCOBOL(API_V1_ARCONTRACT)    headers=&{headers}    data=${bestandophalen}
    \    log    ${response.headers} -> this works
    \    log    ${response.body} -> this doesn't work

Response in Postman:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Retourbericht xmlns="http://url/schemas/things">
    <Statuscode>OK</Statuscode>
    <Statusmelding>Contract opgeslagen in de backoffice.</Statusmelding>
    <TransactionResponse>Onbekend.</TransactionResponse>
</Retourbericht>

Error given in ride:

FAIL : Resolving variable '${response.body}' failed: AttributeError: 'Response' object has no attribute 'body'
  1. Does my test have an error, which results in this error?
  2. Has anyone expirienced the same problem and what was your solution?

If you are using RequestsLibrary, it is built on top of the python requests library. This library returns a response object, but that object does not have a body attribute. That is why you get the AttributeError.

You can use ${response.json()} if you want the structured data, or ${response.text} if you want the raw text of the response as a string.
