POST with JSON content gives groovy.lang.MissingMethodException

[PeterRigole]

Hi,

I consistently have problems sending JSON data along with post or put
messages. Even the textbook example fails:

given().content("{ \"message\" : \"hello world
\"}").then().expect().statusCode(200).when().post("/json");

The exception is:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
java.lang.String.call() is applicable for argument types:
(java.lang.String) values: [{ "message" : "hello world"}]
Possible solutions: wait(), any(), wait(long),
split(java.lang.String), any(groovy.lang.Closure),
each(groovy.lang.Closure)

Any ideas? I'm using RESTassured 1.2.3.

Best regards,

This was actually a (very trivial) bug and it has now been fixed. 

Try using:

given().body("{ \"message\" : \"hello world\"}").then().expect().statusCode(200).when().post("/json");

instead. This should work for you.

Thanks for reporting,
