setting content type in rest assured

Question

I\'m trying to invoke a rest call using rest assured. My API accepts, \"application/json\" as content type and I need to set in the call. I set the content type

Answer 1

This might possibly be the case with your test. Try this.

Answer 2

As mentioned in previous posts there is a method:

RequestSpecification.contentType(String value)

I did not work for me too. But after upgrade to the newest version (in this moment 2.9.0) it works. So please upgrade :)

Answer 3

import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.http.ContentType;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.is;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;

public class googleMapsGetLocation {
    @Test
    public void getLocation() {
        RestAssured.baseURI = "https://maps.googleapis.com";
        given().param("location", "-33.8670522,151.1957362")
            .param("radius", "500")
            .param("key", "AIzaSyAONLkrlUKcoW-oYeQjUo44y5rpME9DV0k").when()
            .get("/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json").then().assertThat()
            .statusCode(200).and().contentType(ContentType.JSON)
            .body("results[0].name", is("Sydney"));
    }
}

Answer 4

For your First option can you please try adding this header too and sending the request?

.header("Accept","application/json")

Answer 5

Give a try given().contentType(ContentType.JSON).body(inputPayLoad.toString)

Answer 6

Here is the complete POST example using CONTENT_TYPE as JSON.

import io.restassured.http.ContentType;

RequestSpecification request=new RequestSpecBuilder().build();
ResponseSpecification response=new ResponseSpecBuilder().build();
@Test
public void test(){
   User user=new User();
   given()
    .spec(request)
    .contentType(ContentType.JSON)
    .body(user)
    .post(API_ENDPOINT)
    .then()
    .statusCode(200).log().all();
}
