Special Character encoding using UTF-8 not happening...

[Chandru]

Hello,

      I have a string 'äöü߀’ ' (German) which is one of the attribute in json object. when I hit the url  using RestAssured API, above mentioned string is encoded as "äöü߀’" . I assume this is 'ISO-8859-1' encoding but i would want UTF-8 encoding. I read in 'Restassured documentation' that Encoding will use Jackson or GSon if they are in classpath otherwise exception will be thrown. However i found out  Restassured is not throwing any exception instead using groovy-JSON' for encoding which is in dependent library list of Restassured. Could you please let us know how do we encode using UTF-8 charset ?

 RestAssured.given().request().contentType("application/json;charset=utf-8").log().all().body(object).post(URL);

Thanks

Chandru

Thanks for pointing this out. Could you add an issue that I should document the use of "Groovy JSON"? So is the object mapper being used in your example Groovy JSON? What happens if you use GSON or jackson/jackson2 instead? Specifying the charset in the content-type like you do should work. Also which version of REST Assured are you using?

Thanks for the quick reply.

  I tried using both 2.4.0 and latest 2.7.0.  The fact is RestAssured jar depends on Groovy and groovy-json jars. In my example, iam not using groovy. I only use Restassured jar to test my Rest APIs. It works fine if i use normal string without any special characters.(Ex: ' projectName'). as part of the object.

Thanks

 I tried with ObjectMapperType and i got 'not in classpath' issue if the jackson jars are not available in classpath. Even after putting them in classpath, i have the same 'ISO-8859-1' encoding issue instead of UTF-8 encoding.

RestAssured.given().request().contentType(ContentType.JSON).log().all().body(object1,ObjectMapperType.JACKSON_2).post(URLPREFIX + PROJECTURL);

I saw that you created an issue and I'll try to look into it soon
