cURL returns {"error":"Invalid xml file: Non-whitespace before first tag."}

[Chingiz Murad]

Hi

I'm trying to import test execution results (junit) to Xray using newman-reporter-junitfull

Import Execution Results - REST v2 

Developing and testing APIs using Postman 

whenever I try to import the resulting .xml using cURL I receive:

 {"error":"Invalid xml file: Non-whitespace before first tag. Line: 0 Column: 1 Char: s"}

Any thoughts are much appretiated

I am also importing result.xml file into Xray after test case execution. After struggling with same whitespace issue for days, I finally managed to find answer. Below solution worked for me.

I was using -F, -d to refer result.xml file in CURL. Instead I used --

--data-binary @Report.xml 

This --data-binary eliminates whitespace character issue.

Please check the file encoding (e.g. by opening it with Notepad++).

It should be UTF-8.

Trying to import non UTF-8 encoded files result in the error you mentioned.

If it's UTF-8 BOM, then it's indeed incompatible with Xray Cloud.

You need to convert the file to UTF-8.

In Windows, this can be done with a Powershell script.

Hi,

I'm facing a very similar issue:

When exporting a JUNIT XML file from JENKINS, using the plugin

Xray - Test Management for Jira
(https://plugins.jenkins.io/xray-connector/)

1°) Exporting to Xray Server works fine (note that the xml file isn't corrupted !)

2°) When exporting to Xray Cloud, Xray's API replies this:

09:34:39 File found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\CEDRIC UI - SMOKE AND SANITY - PROD\CEDRIC-UI\bin\Debug\CEDRIC_UI_20230608_075743.rxlog.junit.xml
09:34:39 Starting to import results from CEDRIC_UI_20230608_075743.rxlog.junit.xml
09:34:39 ERROR: Step ?Xray: Results Import Task? failed: Unable to confirm Result of the upload..... Upload Failed! Status:400 Response:{"error":"Invalid xml file: Non-whitespace before first tag. Line: 0 Column: 1 Char: ï"}

Failed! Status:400 Response:{"error":"Invalid xml file: Non-whitespace before first tag. Line: 0 Column: 1 Char: ï"}

This is similar to the issue reported above. ...

Where does that char come from ?

line: 0 Column: 1 Char: ï

Thanks in advance !

Did you check the .xml file?
