Postman v7.20.1

I'd like to add my answer since above there are a couple of details that took me a while to solve:

• how to cope with a multipart SOAP response
• how to manage a JSON object
• responseBody definition

Here's the first lines of my XML response to analyze:

------=_Part_694527_1470506002.1584708814081
Content-Type: application/xop+xml;charset=UTF-8;type="text/xml"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-ID: 

    
    
        
        
            
                
                    
                        1
                        CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL

After I noticed it was a multipart I've ended up with this Postman Test:

var response = pm.response.text();
var responseBody = response.substr(response.indexOf(' {
    if (field.name == 'StatusMessage'){
        console.log("Field = " + field.name);
        pm.expect(field.text().to.include("Successfully checked in"));
        }
    }); 
});
