Issues with XML Format Post Processor

[oconnorm...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I'm struggling to get the XML Format Post Processor to work.

I've added the JMeterPlugins-Extras.jar to my lib\ext directory and added the Post Processor to my HTTP test, and at the start of the thread

I'm using XML in the Body Data of my HTTP Request, and I get an XML response.

Unfortunately my response isn't displaying as formatted.....

Does anyone know what the issue could be?

The JMeter command line is also erroring with the following.....

Hi,

There is some extra bytes at the beginning of your XML, as seen on screenshot. So it looks not correct to XML parser and it fails to do its job. What are those bytes?

Unfortunately those characters only seem to appear when the output option is set to Text. 

Anything else and my XML looks valid, including the existing XML option.

If I save the response to a file, the format also looks fine. E.g.....

Just seem to be having trouble formatting it......:(

Many thanks,

Could you try viewing your saved to file xml in some binary viewer? To see if those bytes are present. I guess it may be the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark , looks very similar. The preprocessor does not expect BOM in its input. 

Maybe it will allow it if your XML will have <?xml ...> starting, just guessing.

Hope this helps
