Rest-assured: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'assertionClosure' on null object

[ssudarsh]

I get this exception (java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'assertionClosure' on null object) when using the RequestSpecificationBuilder as below and sending a request using POST method

//Elsehwere 
RequestSpecification r = RestAssured.given().relaxedHTTPSValidation().accept(ContentType.ANY)
                .auth().preemptive().basic(cslConsole.getloginUser(), cslConsole.getloginPassword())
                .baseUri(cslConsole.getManagementConsoleURL());
basicRequest.spec(r);

//At the point of sending the request
RequestSpecBuilder builder = new RequestSpecBuilder();
builder.addRequestSpecification(basicRequest);
builder.addQueryParam("param","50");
builder.setBasePath("/api/v1/scsr");
builder.setBody("Some body");
RequestSpecification request = reqSpecbuilder.build();
String url = "https://10.0.2.4:8443/"
Response response = request.post(url); ---->exception

Is this expected ? I do not see an issue with the RequestSpecBuilder .setBody() as I am using it with only POST? Any clues ?

Yeah sounds like a bug :(

Getting the same error on running the below code.

RequestSpecBuilder request = new RequestSpecBuilder();
request.setBaseUri("https://google.com");
String str2 = request.build().when().get().asString();
System.out.println(str2);

Where as it working in the below code.

String str1 = given().baseUri("https://google.com").when().get().asString();
System.out.println(str1);

It should be a bug.

Also getting this exception.

`public CommonHelpers() {
spec = builder.addHeader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT).build()
.baseUri(BASE_URL)
.contentType(ContentType.JSON);

}
public static Response getEntities(Map queryParams) {
spec.basePath(BASE_PATH);
Optional.ofNullable(queryParams).ifPresent(spec::parameters);
return spec.when().get();
}`

The exception is raised at spec.when().get()

I'm getting this exception as well, using Rest Assured version 3.3.0.

The code I use for requesting is the following:

RequestSpecBuilder requestBuilder = new RequestSpecBuilder();
RequestSpecification request = requestBuilder.setBaseUri("https://swapi.co").setBasePath("/api") .addQueryParam("format", "json").setContentType(ContentType.JSON).build();
Response response = request.get("/planets");

And I'm getting the following exception (running with TestNG)

Seems that RequestSpecBuilder doesn't generate correct RequestSpecification, some fields are missing.

`public CommonHelpers() {
spec = builder.addHeader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT).build()
.baseUri(BASE_URL)
.contentType(ContentType.JSON);

}
public static Response getEntities(Map queryParams) {

Optional.ofNullable(queryParams).ifPresent(spec::parameters);
return spec.when().get();
}`

The exception is raised at spec.when().get()

Pass your built RequestSpecification instance to the given method...

RestAssured.given(spec).get();
