Question

Hi I have a need to extract a date from the body of a soap request and use that in the response I also need to advance the date by 1 day and use it in the response I am trying with the below code in response template to figure out a way to do the same but fail to get the result Have added some additional lines to aid debugging ``` assign aDate soapXPath request body RealTimePriceDataWebService reportBean ReportBean ParamValue text assign Date from xpath aDate Date from xpath plus one day date parseDate aDate format= yyyy MM dd offset= 1 days Simple date date Simple now now Date from xpath plus one day date parseDate aDate format= yyyy MM dd offset= 1 days ``` However the output that I get for the above is not as expected ``` Date from xpath 21 Oct 2020 Date from xpath plus one day 2023 10 18T01 36 39Z Simple date 2023 10 17T01 36 39Z Simple now 2023 10 17T01 36 39Z Date from xpath plus one day 2023 10 18T01 36 39Z``` The request body is ``` Date< java ParamName> 21 Oct 2020< java ParamValue> < java ReportBean> < cor reportBean> < cor RealTimePriceDataWebService> < soapenv Body> < soapenv Envelope>``` Instead of doing the offset on the date grabbed from xpath the code seems to be doing an offset on the current date May I know what mistake am I doing

Tom already answered <https wiremock community slack com archives C03N1E6HFPY p1697529920031309|here> and I was just coming to the same conclusion Try something like the following ``` assign aDate soapXPath request body RealTimePriceDataWebService reportBean ReportBean ParamValue text assign Date from xpath aDate Date from xpath plus one day date parseDate aDate format= dd MMM yyyy offset= 1 days Simple date date Simple now now Date from xpath plus one day date parseDate aDate format= dd MMM yyyy offset= 1 days ```

Should give you the following output ```Date from xpath 21 Oct 2020 Date from xpath plus one day 2020 10 22T00 00 00Z Simple date 2023 10 17T08 09 55Z Simple now 2023 10 17T08 09 55Z Date from xpath plus one day 2020 10 22T00 00 00Z```
