Data Integration Specialist - Step 7 - The SOAP call to the BillingService did not return the correct response. Please check your configurations and code

Hi,
In Step 7 of Data Integration Specialist, even though code is working as expected ( project status changing from Billable to Bill), I keep on getting the following error :
The SOAP call to the BillingService did not return the correct response. Please check your configurations and code

I know that a similar discussion has been opened but as there's a best answer related to this and that it was initially about the Web Service being down, I want this trail to be dedicated to this issue only. Trying several ways to complete the challenge didn't give any result.

Please don't answer if you only want to say you face the same issue (click on like). Just reply if you resolved the issue or opened a case and mention it. Maybe if a lot of people open a case, Salesforce will fix the issue or be more specific on the issue.

Has someone passed step 7 of Superbadge "Data Integration Specialist" since 20 august 2018 ?
For information, I opened a case 00010194 but still no answer.

Finally, thanks to Andrea (& Hugo), the WSDL is not accurate.
projectid and projectRef must BOTH be provided !!!

For details, read :

Thanks for the direction. To summarize and clarify for others, here are the steps to resolve:

The BillingServiceProxy class that was generated from the WSDL has a "project" subclass with the following public variables:
 

public String username;
public String password;
public String projectid;
public Double billAmount;


. . . as well as six private variables. Per the suggestion in the other thread linked in Pascal's comment of 8/24/2018, I added a fifth public variable:
 

public String projectRef;


Then, I went to my main handler class (BillingCalloutService) and assigned the new variable to exactly the same value as projectid. In other words, both projectid and projectRef take the external project ID. The Salesforce record ID is not used by the external system.

Once I did the above, I reran my tests and rechecked the challenge in Trailhead, and it worked like a charm!

Because this is clearly an error on Salesforce's part within the challenge checker and/or within the Heroku app, they will probably fix it at some point, and this solution may become obsolete. Hopefully that means people won't be searching for this issue online. If the above solution doesn't work in the future, but the issue is still coming up, my best suggestion would be to play with those two variables until something works (with one, with the other, etc.).

Happy Trails!

@Christopher...Since 2 weeks I am trying to complete this challenge. Finally It worked. I could not even think about changing the auto-generated wsdl class. Thanks man. (Y)
sridhar -sridhar -
I tried adding
  
public String projectRef;

to the generated apex and set the corresponding field from my code. It's showing a new error 'Something went wrong. Please try again'.

Anybody facing a similar problem?

@jegadeesh G R. When did you complete the challenge?

@Christopher - I did it. But still I am getting the error. 
1. Added the Projectref in both the classes(BillingServiceProxy and BillingCalloutService).

In above apex class " ProjectRef" variable is not there. this is salesforce issue i guess. so please add above three commented  lines to complete this challenge.

Hello, 
I'm encountering this issue again in Jan 2022. When I run the code myself, I get the correct response ("ok") and I'm able to complete the requirement as stated (Project__c updated to {Status__c} = "Billed"). I've also checked with SOAP UI and confirmed that only the projectid is required and the projectRef is ignored if added (see screenshots below). I followed the advise above to update the proxy class but still failing the challenge, does anyone have additional info or guidance? I've submitted a case to Trailhead with the same info. 

 

project id only OKprojectRef only UNAUTHORIZEDprojectId and projectRef OK
