Visual Studio WSDL.exe unable to convert ONVIF WSDL files

[harrydewolf]

I am trying to convert the ONVIF WSDL files from https://www.onvif.org/profiles/specifications/ to C++.

But I keep getting similar errors about certain data types missing. For example, doing the following command:

wsdl /language:CPP /protocol:SOAP12 media.wsdl
I get the following error:

Error: Unable to import binding 'MediaBinding' from namespace 'http://www.onvif.org/ver10/media/wsdl'.

• Unable to import operation 'GetVideoSources'.
• The datatype 'http://www.onvif.org/ver10/schema:VideoSource' is missing.

And if I try doing with a URL like so:

wsdl /language:CPP /protocol:SOAP12 https://www.onvif.org/ver10/media/wsdl/media.wsdl

I get the following error:

Error: There was an error processing 'https://www.onvif.org/ver10/media/wsdl/media.wsdl'.

• There was an error downloading 'https://www.onvif.org/ver10/media/wsdl/media.wsdl'.
• The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

This is using Visual Studio 2015.

If you want to do it offline you need to download all the dependencies and have the right file structure.

Also using HTTP works for me like this:
wsdl /language:CPP /protocol:SOAP12 http://www.onvif.org/ver10/media/wsdl/media.wsdl

What are all the dependencies? I imagine the full repo?

What is the right file structure?

Hmm using the URL seems to only work for some WSDL files, worked for Ver10 media.wsdl but not Ver20 media.wsdl. But I get this output warning:

When I do:
wsdl /language:CPP /protocol:SOAP12 https://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

I get the same SSL/TLS error.

Yes, best is to clone the whole repo.
This works for me:
wsdl /language:CPP /protocol:SOAP12 http://www.onvif.org/ver20/media/wsdl/media.wsdl
and this:
wsdl /language:CPP /protocol:SOAP12 http://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

Note the HTTP instead of HTTPS. The SSL/TLS error is because for some reason the wsdl.exe fails to establish a HTTPS connection.

The Schema validation errors looks to be known and expected, see this comment:

That seems to work! Thanks!
