SOAP API Automating testing with ROBOTFRAMEWORK

Good day,

I am trying to use robot framework to test a soap based api. I tried using the RobotFramework-Soap library first. I tried a sample case and it works but as soon as I put in my api link it does not work. Im not sure if it is because my api link contains an api.

N.B. due to confidentiality I am unable to post the actual api link. But it is in the format shown below. 

*** Settings ***
Library           SoapLibrary
Library           OperatingSystem

*** Test Cases ***
Example
    Create Soap Client    http://000.000.000.000:8000/SomeService?wsdl
    ${response}    Call SOAP Method With XML    ${CURDIR}/request.xml
    ${text}    Get Data From XML By Tag    ${response}    AddResult
    Log To Console    ${text}
    Save XML To File    ${response}    ${CURDIR}    response_test

When I run the above test. It fails with following error:

ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='xxx_cert', port=8000): Max retries exceeded with url: /SomeService?xsd=xsd0 (Caused by NewConnectionError(': Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed'))

I even tried using the suds library as well. and when i do a simple test as follows:

***Test Cases***
Example
    Create Soap Client      http://000.000.000.000:8000/SomeService?wsdl

I get the following error: URLError: urlopen error [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

I did some searching and I found that it could be related to the port. But Im not sure how to resolve this issue.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Lee

The solution was to edit the local host file to cater for the web service. That seemed to solve all the problems.
