Class not Found org/hamcrest/TypeSafeMatcher

I am trying to create a project using Rest Assured with TestNG, but I am running into an issue with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hamcrest/TypeSafeMatcher . Rather new to this, so any help is appreciated.

I am using Maven:

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
            <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.3</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
            <artifactId>json-schema-validator</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.3</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
            <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
            <version>6.8</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

The stack trace:

Solution

  • You could explicitly add hamcrest dependency in your pom.

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId>
    <artifactId>hamcrest-all</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
</dependency>

    I've faced similar issues with hamcrest several times, and adding it explicitly always helped.
