Soap Calls using Robot Framework

Question

I am trying to implement soap calls testing through Robot framework.Tried various solutions that I could find on google, nothing works.

The same is working when I am testing through SOAP UI. Am I missing something , I am not sure.

Few Soap UI details -

Endpoint that I am hitting on SOAP UI -https://bfx-b2b.../B2BWEB/services/IProductPort Raw data -

POST https://bfx-b2b.../B2BWEB/services/IProductPort HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: ""
Content-Length: 1822
Host: bfx-b2b...
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)
Cookie: SMCHALLENGE=YES
Cookie2: $Version=1
Authorization: Basic V2VsbHRoaWVfVGVzdDpQYXNzd29yZDMj

What happens if you change from this in the headers dict: SOAPAction "" to this: SOAPAction ${EMPTY}. The thing is, the first way (the one in your sample) will create a string value that is 2 quotes; when the call is to be made, the library will escape them, e.g. the header most probably looks like this - SOAPAction: "\"\"", which is probably not what you want. The second way - the one using ${EMPTY}, will generate a header in the actual call SOAPAction: "" - e.g. what you most probably expect. — Todor Minakov
Yes ,the header has changed but the output is still the same. Status code 500. — themaster
It would be good to understand what you've tried and what your results where. Otherwise we may be proposing solutions that won't work for you. In any case I've had some success with the SudsLibrary where I use it to send the XML that I crafted using the XML library. — A. Kootstra

See if this example will help you:

*** Settings ***
Documentation     Test with SOAP (WSDL) with two parameters that returns the country passing the IP
Library           SudsLibrary

*** Variables ***
${ip}             150.162.2.1

*** Test Cases ***
ConsultaIP
    Create Soap Client    http://ws.cdyne.com/ip2geo/ip2geo.asmx?wsdl
    ${result}    Call Soap Method    ResolveIP    ${ip}    null
    ${country}    Get Wsdl Object Attribute    ${result}    Country
    ${Latitude}    Get Wsdl Object Attribute    ${result}    Latitude
    ${Longitude}    Get Wsdl Object Attribute    ${result}    Longitude
    log    The IP ${ip} belongs to the country ${country}, Latitude: ${Latitude} Longitude: ${Longitude}
