Packaging 4.0.0 no class def found #1168

timja · 2019-05-13T14:42:50Z

After trying to upgrade to 4.0.0 I was hit by a few Class not found exceptions:

ClassNotFoundException: io.restassured.path.xml.mapper.factory.JAXBObjectMapperFactory
ClassNotFoundException: io.restassured.path.json.mapper.factory.GsonObjectMapperFactory
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/restassured/path/json/mapper/factory/JohnzonObjectMapperFactory
cannot access TypeRef

From the wiki I should only need this dependency:

testCompile 'io.rest-assured:rest-assured:4.0.0'

That doesn't seem to be enough

I've made it work with:

  testCompile group: 'io.rest-assured', name: 'rest-assured', version: '4.0.0'
  testCompile group: 'io.rest-assured', name: 'rest-assured-common', version: '4.0.0'
  testCompile group: 'io.rest-assured', name: 'json-path', version: '4.0.0'
  testCompile group: 'io.rest-assured', name: 'xml-path', version: '4.0.0'

See:
hmcts/draft-store#293

eszikk · 2019-05-14T11:11:02Z

I have a same problem.

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T10:24:18Z

Have you read the release notes? Some classes have been moved.

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T10:24:55Z

Or are you not using these in your code? Are they runtime errors?

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T10:29:03Z

TypeRef has also been moved, could that be the problem? It used to be io.restassured.mapper.TypeRef but has been moved to io.restassured.common.mapper.TypeRef

timja · 2019-05-16T10:30:34Z

I'm not using them in my code at all, If I click through to rest assured classes they are missing the TypeRef and other classes.

It's a packaging issue, I saw the shade plugin is being used, something isn't setup right there

timja · 2019-05-16T10:31:18Z

Also if you have a look at the PR I linked in the description the change it would show I'm not using the code directly 😉

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T11:10:27Z

@timja Thanks for your reply. Yes it indeed feels like something is fishy. Haven't experienced this myself though in any of the projects I've upgraded to 4.0, I wonder why we have different experiences.

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T11:12:22Z

@timja shade is also only used in the rest-assured-all module so I don't think it should impact the other modules

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T11:14:15Z

@timja Also when I browse the rest-assured-common-4.0.0.jar I do see the TypeRef class

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T11:15:49Z

Are you using the rest-assured-all module or OSGi or something? Are you sure you're not using both the new and the old version somehow? :)

timja · 2019-05-16T12:29:06Z

No none of the above, the project is public and doesn't require anything special to build it.

./gradlew functionalTestClasses

is the quickest way to see the issue.

all changes are in this commit 66b0fd0be6258bce25ed142221d0e94f7f81bc49

Also all the build failures can be viewed in the travis logs on the PR:

johanhaleby · 2019-05-16T12:56:27Z

Cannot seem to find the travis log, could you post the link here?

Looks like that's the only build showing the packaging error, the first error was content being removed, the rest of the errors I experienced locally

For some reason xml-path depends on the old version. Need to investigate, but know I have to pick-up kids from Kindergarten :)

geoffreywiseman · 2019-05-16T21:26:52Z

I'm getting this instead, but I suspect it's related:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/restassured/path/json/mapper/factory/JohnzonObjectMapperFactory

timja · 2019-05-17T06:02:01Z

I also got that but forgot to include that in the description

johanhaleby · 2019-05-17T07:31:08Z

Are you all using Gradle? I'm not much of an Gradle expert but when running the following command in the draft-store project:

./gradlew dependencyInsight --dependency rest-assured --configuration testRuntimeClasspath

I get:

> Task :dependencyInsight

What does "io.rest-assured:json-path:3.1.1 (selected by rule)" mean? Which rule?

johanhaleby · 2019-05-17T07:36:00Z

I also found this answer on stackoverflow. He had a similar problem with elastic search and it turned out that spring-boot dependency management picked another version. Could it be the same thing here?

johanhaleby · 2019-05-17T07:38:51Z

The stackoverflow answer, that I linked to above, solved it by doing:

ext[elasticsearch.version] = '2.3.1'

And if I introduce this:

ext["rest-assured.version"] = '4.0.0'

it seem to pickup the correct version. Could you verify that it works? If so it's a gradle configuration issue and not a rest-assured issue.

timja · 2019-05-17T07:53:25Z

Thanks @johanhaleby that's fixed

Apologies for not noticing that, and nice stack overflow answer

Thanks for spending your time looking at it, much appreciated.

Hopefully this issue is useful for anyone else who hits it

I have the same problem. Have you solved it?

timja · 2019-05-27T07:22:54Z

Yes I was getting that too, if you're using spring and gradle then this will likely be the fix:
#1168 (comment)

geoffreywiseman · 2019-05-27T11:06:33Z

I have the same problem. Have you solved it?

Nope, I just rolled back to 3.x. Haven’t tried again yet. FWIW my issue was using Maven not Gradle.

eliasnogueira · 2019-06-07T20:34:57Z

Guys!
Based on this link you can add a new dependency: rest-assured-all. It worked for me.
https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/wiki/GettingStarted#java-9

Simply add the following dependency and keep the rest-assured dependency.

<dependency>
   <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
   <artifactId>rest-assured-all</artifactId>
   <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

My scenario: multi-project (module on IntelliJ) with a backend (spring boot) and a test project (using rest-assured) with JDK 12.

Spring Boot still using the 3.1.1 version of rest-assured on the last version (2.1.5.RELEASE).
