Possibility to unregister filters ?

[Frédéric Camblor]

Hi everyone !

I'm trying to play with rest assured filters, and I'm wondering if there is a possibility to unregister previously registered filters ?

My use case : I created a JUnit rule allowing to keep sessionId from REST requests inside a unit test execution.

Problem is : I don't want to enable this behaviour on every of my test cases (in some tests, I want to open several differentiated sessions, thus, I don't add the JUnit rule on these tests), so, I need to "clean the campfire as it was before my rule execution".

To be able to clean the campfire, I should remove my added filter after each test execution.

But I don't see any API allowing to do this (RestAssured.filters() returns an UnmodifiableList).

Shouldn't we add a RestAssured.removeFilters(List<Filter> filters) method to do this ?

WDYT ?

Hi, 

There are already some methods for doing this. You can use "given().noFilters().." to remove all filters and "given().noFiltersOfType(SomeFilterType.class).." to remove a specific filter. But I'm not sure they'll work in your case if you've defined your filters statically. In that case we'll need to add an extra method just as you say. I'll add it as an issue.
