[Udaya Kumar Anem]

Hi all,

When i ran below code and i am getting Assecrion Error. Can someone please help me how to overcome this?

import com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured;

import com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured.*;

import com.jayway.restassured.matcher.RestAssuredMatchers.*;

import org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

public class firstRestCall 

{

public static void main(String[] args) 

{

        

RestAssured.get("http://restcountries.eu/rest/v1/name/Norway").

then().

body("capital",equalTo("Oslo"));

//body("capital",equalTo("[Oslo]"));  tried this also, but getting the same exception

}

}

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.

JSON path capital doesn't match.

Expected: Oslo

The capital is inside a list, use body("capital",hasItems("Oslo"));

That helped, but some how equalTo method is not working.

In some forums, they say both junit and hamcrest have equalTo method, so we need to make one as static.

Though i tried, still having problem here.

Thanks,
Uday

You only use equalTo for strings and numbers. hasItems is for lists. You probably need to read up on Hamcrest.
