Getting Unsupported cookie spec: ignoreCookies

[Devashish Pandey]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Write a simple case, say testing 404
@Test
	public void testStatusNotFound() {
		given().log().all().with().authentication().basic("Blah","BlahhalB").
		expect().statusCode(404).when().
		get("/notfound");
	}

baseURI is already set. My service is up and running

2. Run this in Eclipse as JUnit test
3. Get the following exception :- java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unsupported cookie spec: ignoreCookies.

Full stacktrace attached. Below is just an excerpt : 

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unsupported cookie spec: ignoreCookies
	at org.apache.http.cookie.CookieSpecRegistry.getCookieSpec(CookieSpecRegistry.java:114)
	at org.apache.http.client.protocol.RequestAddCookies.process(RequestAddCookies.java:168)


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
rest-assured 2.4.0 /Windows 8.1 /Eclipse Kepler with Maven/ Tomcat 8.0.15/ Jersey

Please provide any additional information below.

I get the same exception with POST as well, and also when I disable basic auth.

What could I be doing wrong ?

[Johan Haleby]

Hmm never seen this before. I suppose you're using the latest version of REST Assured?

Could you log the response as well and paste it here?

From the log, after logging both request and response :-

Request method: GET

Request path: http://myservice.in/restapi/notfound

Proxy: <none>

Request params: <none>

Query params: <none>

Form params: <none>

Path params: <none>

Multiparts: <none>

Headers: Accept=*/*

Cookies: <none>

Body: <none>

So no response! I had been tailing the tomcat access logs, and I see no incoming requests over there as well. The same stuff DOES work via Postman or even in a browser.

[Johan Haleby]

You to put "log().all()" after "expect" or "then" to log the response. Please try that.

[Devashish Pandey]

The above was logged with the following code :-

public void testStatusNotFound() {
		given().log().all().with().authentication().basic("Blah","BlahhalB").
		expect().statusCode(404).when().
		get("/notfound").then().log().all();
	}

[Johan Haleby]

I don't believe what you've showed is the response log. You've only showed us the request log. You need to put "log().all()" after expect. For example:

public void testStatusNotFound() {
		given().log().all().with().authentication().basic("Blah","BlahhalB").
		expect().log().all().statusCode(404).when().
		get("/notfound").then().log().all();
	}

[Devashish Pandey]

Done that as well, but no change in the logs :(

[Devashish Pandey]

if you want then I can share a screenshot as well.

[Johan Haleby]

Hmm so you don't get a response at all!? It's important that you place "log().all()" before any (response) expectations otherwise it may not work. You can also try RestAssured.enableLoggingOfRequestAndResponseIfValidationFails().

As I said earlier, I don't even see a request hitting the server in my tomcat's access log, so the request isn't being  sent either.
I'll tried what you wrote above as well, but no changes in the log.

[Johan Haleby]

Oh I see. So the request just hangs?

[Devashish Pandey]

I see <terminated> in junit runner inside eclipse. So I guess it simply exits, post this exception and doesn't appear to be hung up

[Johan Haleby]

Ok. I really can't make much sense of what's causing this. Perhaps you can use wireshark to really figure out what's happening on the wire? In wireshark you could also compare the rest assured request with the postman request and see what's different (if the latter worked).

It was due to wrong version of HTTPclient getting picked up. Some stuff in my project was fetching HTTPClient 4.0.1 (support for ignoreCookies is abset in this version) as a dependency, and somehow rest-assured was using that.
I isolated rest-assured part  from the rest and now it's fine.

Ok I'm glad your managed to sort it out. Classpath issues can really be a pain. I can recommend JHades if you run into similar problems again.

[Devashish Pandey]

Thanks for the help Johan. :)
