XML Code testing ok in SOAPUI but fails flow test

Posted on 28 Jan 2022 19:10:17 by

I have the XML code shown below in a flow sending a request to a SOAP API. When passing the date in the format below the flow works and returns the required XML response. I need to make the dates dynamic e.g. today + 365 days. I have tried replacing the fromDate and toDate code with the following, this works in SOAPUI and returns the required XML however in PowerAutomate it returns a an error as below. Can anyone give me any guidance as to how to fix this or some alternatives for request a date using a relative date?

 

Amended Date XML

 

<fromDate xsi:type="xsd:string">${=def now = new Date();now.format("yyyy-mm-dd")}</fromDate>

<toDate xsi:type="xsd:string">${=def now = new Date()+365;now.format("yyyy-mm-dd")}</toDate>

 

 

Original Working Code (API Key Hidden)

 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:uri="uri:FlexForce">
