REST-Assured and Android

[Tiago Veloso]

I am trying to use REST-Assuered in an android project.

However, when using the jsonPath I get a NoClassDefFound exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.beans.PropertyDescriptor

I am aware that the java.beans package is not supported in android. But there is an alternative, the openbeans project.

I am trying to figure out a way of integrating both, but can't find how. I made a suggestion to use the openbeans project in the issue tracker.

Hmm looks to me that Groovy fails. I'm not sure Groovy is supported on Android, I think Groovy needs to do several byte-code tricks.

That's probably it.

Groovy is only supported for android from version 2.4 and onward. And it requires an additional plugin. Maybe it's not just a java.beans problem.

[Johan Haleby]

You can try depending on Groovy 2.4 instead, follow the instructions on the FAQ but change Groovy version to 2.4.1 or something similar.

I will be sure to have a look at that, when I find some time.

I am trying to use a library that depends on REST-Assured, (retromock: https://github.com/groupon/retromock) wich works fine under JDK 7 & 8.

I have modified it to build with the android SDK, and it works. I just can't seem to get the REST-Assured bit working though. It comes in handy to check the body of the requests I send.
