If you're using Spring MVC you can use the spring-mock-mvc module to unit test your Spring Controllers using the Rest Assured DSL. To do this statically import the methods from RestAssuredMockMvc instead of importing the methods from io.restassured.RestAssured:

matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath is statically imported from io.restassured.module.jsv.JsonSchemaValidator and it's recommended to statically import all methods from this class. However in order to use it you need to depend on the json-schema-validator module by either downloading it from the download page or add the following dependency from Maven:
To make body expectations take namespaces into account you need to declare the namespaces using the io.restassured.config.XmlConfig. For example let's say that a resource called namespace-example located at :8080 returns the following XML:
At the first line we simply define a list with some words but the second line is more interesting.Here we search the words list for all words that are longer than 4 characters by calling the findAll with a Groovy closure.The closure has an implicit variable called it which represents the current item in the list.The result is a new list, wordsWithSizeGreaterThanFour, containing buffalo and dinosaur.
What's going on here? First of all the XML path shopping.category returns a list of all categories.On this list we invoke a function, find, to return the single category that has the XML attribute, type, equal to groceries.On this category we then continue by getting all the items associated with this category.Since there are more than one item associated with the groceries category a list will be returned and we verify this list against the hasItems Hamcrest matcher.
REST Assured 3.3.0 introduced the io.restassured.mapper.TypeRef class that allows you to de-serialize the response to a container with a generic type. For example let's say that you have a service that returns the following JSON for a GET request to /products:
It's also possible to use a mapping function when validating headers. For example let's say you want to validate that the Content-Length header is less than 1000. You can then use a mapping function to first convert the header value to an int and then use an Integer before validating it with a Hamcrest matcher:
There are some predefined matchers that you can use defined in the io.restassured.matcher.RestAssuredMatchers (or io.restassured.module.mockmvc.matcher.RestAssuredMockMvcMatchers if using the spring-mock-mvc module). For example:
Rest Assured allows you to create custom authentication providers. You do this by implementing the io.restassured.spi.AuthFilter interface (preferably) and apply it as a filter. For example let's say that your security consists of adding together two headers together in a new header called "AUTH" (this is of course not secure). Then you can do that like this (Java 8 syntax):
By default REST Assured will scan the classpath to find various object mappers. If you want to integrate an object mapper that is not supported by default or if you've rolled your own you can implement theio.restassured.mapper.ObjectMapper interface. You tell REST Assured to use your object mapper either by passing it as a second parameter to the body:
A filter allows you to inspect and alter a request before it's actually committed and also inspect and alter the response before it's returned to the expectations. You can regard it as an "around advice" in AOP terms. Filters can be used to implement custom authentication schemes, session management, logging etc. To create a filter you need to implement the io.restassured.filter.Filter interface. To use a filter you can do:
As of REST Assured 3.0.2 you can implement the io.restassured.filter.OrderedFilter interface if you need to control the filter ordering. Here you implement the getOrder method to return an integer representing the precedence of the filter. A lower value gives higher precedence. The highest precedence you can define is Integer.MIN_VALUE and the lowest precedence is Integer.MAX_VALUE. Filters not implementing io.restassured.filter.OrderedFilter will have a default precedence of 1000. Click here for some examples.
REST Assured 2.6.0 introduced the scala-support module that adds an alias to the "then" method defined in the Response or MockMvcResponse called "Then". The reason for this is that then might be a reserved keyword in Scala in the future and the compiler issues a warning when using a method with this name. To enable the use of Then simply import the io.restassured.module.scala.RestAssuredSupport.AddThenToResponse class from the scala-support module. For example:
The application is in Spring and Spring Boot. I have read many blogs and no clear distinction is given or I couldn't find one. For rest assured, its neat and clean code and BDD style that makes it more readable. But doesn't sound a convincing point. Some of the tests are written using Mockmvc and I am trying to write the same in RestAssured to compare the same.
I am about to start coding using REST-assured.However I happened to see SOAP UI REST tutorial and understand that there is a maven plugin in SOAP UI to help jenkins integration. Before I progress, just wanted to know if there is an obvious advantage to using SOAP UI over Rest-assured. I have to complete the automation of around 30 requests with complex JSON responses in about a month - including schema validation for responses.
Note that I haven't used SOAP UI REST, just "normal" SOAP UI, but if your use case is purely to implement automated testing, and that the REST-assured framework does what it says, I would certainly recommend to use the DSL.
Given your current use case, the simplest among the 2 would be to use rest assured (+points to java dsl; bonus readability for testing; but you can always use other clients if you want to). Given that you intend to automate your test and integrate it on CI, you can simply create a module which runs your test suite on a given phase and gather the results.
I was looking what is the difference between REST-assured v/s Postman. I found few things while googling but it was old thread. As of now if any one can tell me what is the best, that will help me lot.
I'm wondering if I should switch to a framework like Rest-assured or Pytest. I have a Java background and have created hybrid frameworks for UI testing (using Selenium, Cucumber, and JUnit), but this project doesn't have any UI, and also it is Python-based. I'm not sure if I should consider Pytest because I'm mostly testing black box functionality. I'm worried about the initial setup and time that I have to spend learning Python, and I'm not sure if I can come up with the perfect scalable structure. And most important how much time I will spend rewriting all those test cases.
Imagine you open your google map view and look for a place you want to go, you immediately see closeby restaurants, you see options for the commute; from some leading travel providers, and see so many options at your fingertips. We all know they are not google products, then how does Google manage to show it. They use the exposed APIs of these providers. Now, if you are asked to test this kind of setup, even before the UI is built or is under development, testing APIs becomes extremely important and testing them repeatedly, with different data combinations makes it a very suitable case for automation.
freestar.config.enabled_slots.push( placementName: "guru99_incontent_1", slotId: "guru99_incontent_1" );
Earlier, we were using dynamic languages such as groovy, ruby to achieve this, and it was challenging. Hence API testing was not explored by functional testing.
