  7. Minor Changes

Highlights

  • REST Assured has a new group id, io.rest-assured. Previously you depended on REST Assured like this (Maven):

    <dependency>
  <groupId>com.jayway.restassured</groupId>
  <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
  <version>${rest-assured.version}</version>
</dependency>

    but now you do:

    <dependency>
  <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
  <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
  <version>${rest-assured.version}</version>
</dependency>

    See getting started guide for more info.

  • Package structure has been renamed from com.jayway.restassured to io.restassured. Search and replace should cover most scenarios, see non-backward compatible changes for more info.

  • All long method variants have been deprecated (for example formParameters, specification) as well as content. The reason for this is to avoid duplicated API methods in the future (and thus reducing the size of the API). See deprecations for more info.

  • All HTTP verbs now support data in the body (for example TRACE, OPTIONS etc)

  • All HTTP verbs now support multipart file uploading (even GET, OPTIONS etc)

  • You can now use custom http methods/verbs with REST Assured by making using the the request method in the DSL (or by statically importing a io.restassured.RestAssured.request). For example:

    when().request("CONNECT", "/somewhere").then().statusCode(200);

    You can also supply a predefined http method (defined in the io.restassured.http.Method enum):

    when().request(Method.GET, "/lotto").then().statusCode(200);

    This API has also been implemented for the MockMvc module (but MockMvc doesn't support arbitrary http methods as of now).

Other Notable Changes

  • It's now possible to map to java objects when extracting from a list in JsonPath. For example if we have the following JSON document:

    {
  "store": {
      "book": [
          {
              "category": "reference",
              "author": "Nigel Rees",
              "title": "Sayings of the Century",
              "price": 8.95
          },
          {
              "category": "fiction",
              "author": "Evelyn Waugh",
              "title": "Sword of Honour",
              "price": 12.99
          }
}

    it's now possible to map all "books" into a Java object:

    List<Book> books = JsonPath.from(json).getList("store.book", Book.class);

  • Improved error messages when trying to verify a path with a parent that doesn't exist. For example if we have the following JSON document:

    { "myThing" : { "name" : "ThingName" } }

    and we try to test it like so:

    when().get("/thing").then().body("myThing1.name", equalTo("ThingName")); // Notice myThing1 is invalid

    we now get an AssertionError like this:

    1 expectation failed.
JSON path myThing1.name doesn't match.
Expected: "ThingName"
Actual: null

    whereas previously you would get an IllegalArgumentException with an error message like this:

    Cannot get property 'name' on null object

  • Multipart uploads now take the content-type boundary into account. For example you can specify:

    given().contentType("multipart/mixed; boundary=abcdef").multiPart(..). ..

    which will use the specified boundary of "abcdef" instead of generating a "random" one. It's also possible to specify a default boundary in the MultiPartConfig:

    given().config(config().multiPartConfig(multiPartConfig().defaultBoundary("abcdef"))). ..

  • Fixed so that it's possible to declare whether or not XmlPath and Rest Assured should use care about XML namespaces, validation and/or allow doc type declaration. To configure this when using XmlPath do:

    XmlPath xmlPath = new XmlPath(xml).using(xmlPathConfig().namespaceAware(false)); // replace "namespaceAware" with "validation" or "allowDocTypeDeclaration" if needed

    And like this if using REST Assured DSL:

    given().config(RestAssured.config().xmlConfig(xmlConfig().namespaceAware(false))). ..

  • Added ability to use ResponseAwareMatcher for headers. For example you can now use attributes from the response body to validate a Location header. Let's say that "/redirect" returns the json document { "id" : 1 } and returns a redirect to a location ending with this id. If you want to validate the Location header invariant you can do:

    given().
        redirects().follow(false).
when().
        get("/redirect").
then().
        statusCode(301).
        header("Location", response -> endsWith("/redirect/"+response.path("id")));

    This has also been implemented for the MockMvc module (issue 692).

  • Support for setting session attributes in the Spring MockMvc module using the "sessionAttr" and "sessionAttrs" methods (thanks to sneyyar for pull request) (issue 671)

Non-backward compatible changes

There are a lot of non-backward compatible changes in this release (see upgrading for upgrade instructions).

  • Package structure has been renamed from com.jayway.restassured to io.restassured.
  • Virtually all old deprecated methods have been removed.
  • Renamed the following methods (mainly for consistency):
    • io.restassured.authentication.CertificateAuthSettings.keystoreType to io.restassured.authentication.CertificateAuthSettings.keyStoreType
    • io.restassured.authentication.CertificateAuthSettings.getKeystoreType to io.restassured.authentication.CertificateAuthSettings.getKeyStoreType
    • io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification.keystore to io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification.keyStore
    • io.restassured.RestAssured.keystore to io.restassured.RestAssured.keyStore
    • io.restassured.builder.RequestSpecBuilder.setKeystore to io.restassured.builder.RequestSpecBuilder.setKeyStore
    • com.jayway.restassured.specification.RequestLogSpecification.path(..) to com.jayway.restassured.specification.RequestLogSpecification.uri(..)
  • Removed ability send requests directly from the response specification. This means that you can't do for example expect().get("/") anymore. Use when().get("/") instead.
  • Removed io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification.then() since it's confusingly similar to the then method in RequestSender. Use the when method instead.
  • Moved classes Cookie, Cookies, Header and Headers from package com.jayway.restassured.response to io.restassured.http since they were used for both requests and responses.
  • Moved io.restassured.internal.mapper.ObjectMapperType to io.restassured.mapper since ObjectMapperType should not be internal

Upgrading

To upgrade from an older version follow these steps:

  1. Change Maven/Gradle groupId to io.rest-assured (see getting started guide)
  2. In your code base search for com.jayway.restassured and replace with io.restassured
  3. If you still have compile-errors see the list of non-backward compatible changes and correct the errors.

Minor changes
