Release Notes for REST Assured 3.3.0

Contents

1. Highlights
2. Minor Changes

Highlights

• Added io.restassured.mapper.TypeRef class that allows one to deserialize a response to a container with generic type. For example:

  List<Map<String, Object>> products = get("/products").as(new TypeRef<List<Map<String, Object>>>() {});

  Note that currently this only works for JSON :(

• Added a artifact called rest-assured-all that can be used if you run into issues with split packages in Java 9+. If so exclude the rest-assured dependency from you build script and instead add (maven example):

  <dependency>
     <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
     <artifactId>rest-assured-all</artifactId>
     <version>3.3.0</version>
     <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>

  Thanks to Tomasz Gaweda for pull request.

• Introduces custom listeners on test validation failures. This makes it possible to hook into Rest Assured and get a callback when the test fails with full access to the request/response specification as well as the response. You can do this by implementing the ResponseValidationFailureListener and add it to the new FailureConfig. For example:

  given().config(RestAssured.config().failureConfig(failureConfig().with().failureListeners((requestSpec, responseSpec, response) -> log.info("Rest Assured validation failed!")).when(). ..
  

  (issue 1093) (thanks to Daniel Dyląg for pull request).
