Class cast exception: io.restassured.internal.RestAssuredResponseOptionsImpl cannot be cast to io.restassured.response.ResponseOptions

[kubagruszka]

I'm getting this very strange exception. It happens in a test method which uses the Assume.assumeThat which actually turns false and test should be ignored but it fails on the execution of the @After method call (which one is actually making and http external call to cleanup). What is strange is that Intelij junit runner is actually showing this test as Ignored but Serenity report says ERROR in this post Step.

10:14:55.472 [main] ERROR net.serenitybdd.core.Serenity - 

I have updated serenity and libraries to latest 1.8.12 (from 1.2.2) and explicit rest-assured dependency to 3.0.5 but this exception still happens. Message is quite weird as both classes comes from rest-assured library and RestAssuredResponseOptionsImpl actually implements ResponseOptions so I don't get it :) . Any ideas what can I check more ?

Can you provide a sample project that reproduces the issue?

Currently I'm not able to provide a sample project but we have planned to make it.
