Changing charset in XmlPath

[Irene]

Hi!

I've read the manuals but still can't get this right) So the question is:
I have url that returns xml file encoded with windows-1251. I want to obtain XmlPath for it and use it.
My code is something like this:

Response r = given()
                .cookies(needed cookies)
                .response().expect()
                .log().ifStatusCodeMatches(any(Integer.class))
                .when().get(url);
XmlPath path = r.getBody().xmlPath();

And then it fails to parse:
[Fatal Error] :7:7: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.


I tried to add

RestAssured.config = newConfig().decoderConfig(decoderConfig().defaultContentCharset("windows-1251"));

before defining response, but it didn't help. What is the correct way to deal with differently encoded xml files?
Thanks.

Hmm does it work if you do something like:

String xmlValueIn = given()
                .cookies(needed cookies)
                .response().expect()
                .log().ifStatusCodeMatches(any(Integer.class))
                .when().get(url).path("x.y");

Where "x.y" is a valid path to a value in your XML?

If not, does something like this work:

given()
                .cookies(needed cookies)
                .response().expect()

                .body("x.y", equalTo("z"))
                .log().ifStatusCodeMatches(any(Integer.class))
                .when().get(url)

Wow! I actually used an ugly workaround:

byte[] b = r.getBody().asByteArray();
XmlPath path = new XmlPath(new String(b, needed charset))

But your second suggestion magically works!

Ok so the reason is that stand-alone XmlPath doesn't support charset without going through the work-around that you used. When you configure REST Assured to use windows-1251 you only configure REST Assured and not XmlPath.
