Handling json response

[Sathyakumar Seshachalam]

I have a legacy application that I want to test using rest-assured.

For whatever reasons, the application is coded such that the response is Json, but unforunately the content type of the response is set as text/plain;charset=UTF-8.

Now when I try to extract a json path from the response I get an exception as 

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot determine which path implementation to use because the content-type text/plain;charset=UTF-8 doesn't map to a path implementation.

Is there a way to workaround this issue ?

You can register "text/plain" to be treated as JSON using "registerParser". See docs here.
