svcutil from wsdl file: Error Schema with target namespace could not be found

Question

On my machine I have a WSDL file and all the necessary schema files. I am trying to use svcutil to create client proxy code from the WSDL. Command:

svcutil myfile.wsdl

I keep getting an error when using svcutil, but have no problems when loading the wsdl with soapUI if that means anything.

I keep getting this error:

Error: Cannot import wsdl:portType
Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension: System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerMessageContractImporter
Error: Schema with target namespace 'http://www.crsoftwareinc.com/xml/ns/titanium/event/areventservice/v1_0' could not be found.
XPath to Error Source: //wsdl:definitions[@targetNamespace='http://www.crsoftwareinc.com/xml/ns/titanium/event/areventservice/v1_0']/wsdl:portType[@name='areventservice']

Here is the WSDL:

The target namespaces all look like they match to me. Like I said, soapUI has not problem loading the wsdl.

I have no idea what to do.

Try specifying the paths to all the schemas after the path to the WSDL. That's what you have to do with the older WSDL.EXE. — John Saunders

man i have about 40 referenced schemas. I tried the first few and it seems to be at least generating new error messages. are you saying that there is a new improved version that doesn't require specifying all 40!? — J Cooper

No. You'll have to specify all of them, or else use "Add Service Reference", which will do it all for you. — John Saunders

@John Saunders - For some reason it didn't register with me that "Add Service Reference" would work with a local file path. Thanks a bunch for you help! — J Cooper

Either specify the paths to all of the WSDL and schema files on the command line, or else use "Add Service Reference", which will do that for you.

Note that "Add Service Reference" does work with files on your local system - not just for files at a URL.

Had a similar problem and can confirm that adding the XSD files to the SvcUtil call fixed the problem. The command-line looked like: SvcUtil /t:code WsdlFile.wsdl FirstSchemaFile.xsd SecondSchemaFile.xsd ThirdSchemaFile.xsd /l:cs

Explicitly passing in all the XSD files instead of using *.XSD also worked for me.

Add Service Reference did not resolve my problem stackoverflow.com/questions/15815095/cannot-load-xml-types. Any idea why?

Craig Nicholson Over a year ago

I had the exact same errors. The wsdl and all of the xsds where in same folder. svcutil subscriptions.wsdl *.xsd /l:c# /o:proxy.cs We had a client provide a wsdl with more than 15 xsd files. So this approach worked for us.
