Karate Cannot Assert XML Response Contains XPath

I am trying to assert if an xml contains an xpath. For example the xpath is: //vmap:AdBreak[@timeOffset='00:00:20']

When I check it on https://www.freeformatter.com/xpath-tester.html it successfully returns an element.

However when I tried using below karate mechanism, it fails:

    Given url "https://ray.mond.com/"
    And header Content-Type = 'application/xml'
    And path "vmap/vmap.xml"
    When method GET
    Then status 200
    * print response
    * xml resp = response
    * def vmap = //vmap:AdBreak[@timeOffset='00:00:20']
    * match resp contains vmap

The error is

xpath does not exist: //vmap:AdBreak[@timeOffset='00:00:20'] on response

Am I doing it the wrong way? I am trying to follow the docs here https://github.com/intuit/karate/blob/master/karate-junit4/src/test/java/com/intuit/karate/junit4/xml/xml.feature .

Thanks a lot!

Yes, XPath has some weird behavior at times. I'd appreciate if you can help troubleshoot and fix. This is not a priority for us as JSON is the most common case.

But here is your workaround:

* def vmap = /VMAP/AdBreak[@timeOffset='00:00:20']
