Rest-assured: java 14 - does not work - Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7

[johny2000uwb]

I have tried to test it under OpenJDK 14 ea 34 with error: Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7

Update the groovy dependency? Maybe: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8843

I have got this call stack:
´´´

FYI for the curious reader - I just upgraded to rest-assured version 4.3.0 and I no longer see these failures with Java 14 GA.

@johny2000uwb perhaps worth another try with the latest version:

https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/releases/tag/rest-assured-4.3.0

[dragondagda]

same here. used 4.1.2 before and had the same NoClassDefFoundError. After upgrading to 4.3.0 the failre didn't occur anymore.

Yes it's always a good idea to upgrade :)

REST Assured has automatic builds on Java 14, see https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/blob/master/.travis.yml.

I'm having the same issue and I see that my project use io.rest-assured:rest-assured:4.3.0 however, maven seem to see that 4.3.0 depends on org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.5.9 instead of groovy 3.0.2.

After investigation, there is a conflict in my project when resolving groovy.version. For me the conflict was with spring-boot-dependencies which was setting groovy.version to 2.5.9.
