RestAssured Post call with body throws an error “java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed. Expected status code but was .”

@Test
public void testPost() throws URISyntaxException {
    AgencyRequest agencyRequest = new AgencyRequest();
    agencyRequest.setConnectorId(1);
    agencyRequest.setJobConfig("/usr/local/workspace/test.config.xml");
    agencyRequest.setConnectorName("/usr/local/workspace/test.kjb");
    agencyRequest.setRequestId(1);
    agencyRequest.setTenantId(1);
    agencyRequest.setTenantName("Test Tenant");
    agencyRequest.setTimeZone("UTC");

    String json = new Gson().toJson(agencyRequest);
    System.out.println(json);
    System.out.println(uri + "/" + ResourceConstants.JOB_CONFIG);
    given().
    accept(ContentType.JSON).
    body(json).
    post(new URI(uri + "/" + ResourceConstants.JOB_CONFIG)).
    then().
    assertThat().
    statusCode(HttpStatus.OK_200);
}

If I run the same test on Postman by choosing the post method and content type as json and with the body, it gave the response status code as 200. But my unit test is not passed. In the body, I have tried passing the json string as you see before as well as I tried passing the java object, both fails.

Answer

You need to define the content type of request while sending the request. Consider making the given change

   .contentType(ContentType.JSON)
