Issue working with SOAP API

Hi,

First off, this is an awesome framework. So far my only challenges are around the native support for Soap and manipulating the responses when there are namespaces.

Example:

Step 1) Send a request to a Soap operation by reading in from xml file on disk. Step 2) Do basic validations e.g. status and content check, sample code below.

Scenario: Get account details by phone number 

	Given request read('getAccountByPhoneNumberRequest.xml') 
	When soap action 'getAccountByPhoneNumber' 
	Then status 200
        And match response //ns3:billingAccountNumber/text() == '123456789'

Issue:

• When I try to parse the ‘response’ object with standard XPATH expressions I always get ‘actual: null, expected: 123456789, reason: not equal’
• I validated my XPATH expression using a separate tool, I was able to retrieve the data I was after
• I printed the ‘response’ object and notice that it was in a JSON format
• I tried using the conversion examples ‘* xml variableName = response’ to convert to Soap, but that didn’t work
• all the examples use static xml in the feature files so are not directly applicable to my scenario

The ask:

How do I extract XML elements when testing against Soap?

Just wanted to drop a comment to say thank you for your quick response. Will get to testing and will response with some samples. Happy to help improve the Soap aspect of Karate, even though we know where things are going (REST/GraphQL).
