Error : Could not parse content-type: Response does not have a content-type header

[Kuzhali Velmurugan]

Hi,

My test is as below:

@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"shouldCreateMeasurement"})
public void shouldDeleteMeasurement() {
    given().header(SESSION_TOKEN, sessionToken)
            .contentType("application/json,text/plain")
            .header(SECTION, "aaa")
            .param("operation", "aaa")
            .param("measurementId", guid).log().all()
            .delete("/api/dddd/" + guid).then().log().all()

            .assertThat().statusCode(200);
}

The entity gets deleted, but am getting an error message:

Sep 27, 2017 11:33:46 AM com.jayway.restassured.internal.RequestSpecificationImpl$RestAssuredHttpBuilder parseResponse
WARNING: Could not parse content-type: Response does not have a content-type header

Anyway to resolve this? 

I have added this in base class :

RestAssured.registerParser("text/plain", Parser.JSON);

Thanks,

The web service you are testing, is it normal for it to not send a Content-Type header with HTTP responses? To me that seems like a bug in your system under test. 

On the request side, I've never seen a Content-Type that is a comma separated list. Is that legal? Do you mean for "application/json,text/plain" to be an Accepts header instead of a Content-Type header?

What Todd says about the Accept header is probably right but REST Assured should not require to know the content-type if no assertions are made to body. Please try the same example with the latest version to see if the problems persists.

Sorry that I added by mistake (application/json,text/plain) while trying out different combinations to get it to work as error was related to content type. Actual request  doesn't require Content Type and also the url params (tried from postman), the entity is deleted when checked in Db, but we see error as stated above. The same call passes when guid is hard coded.

public void shouldDeleteMeasurement() {
    given().header(SESSION_TOKEN, sessionToken)

            .header(SECTION, "demo").log().all()
            .delete("/api/AAA/" + guid).then().log().all()
            .assertThat().statusCode(200);
}

The gradle version that I have been using is 2.12 and rest assured is the older one 2.4.1.

As Johan said, I will try to upgrade it to latest version of Rest Assured.

Thank you,
