Add header to all requests

Question

Is there any way to add an header to all requests?

I have to add an header to all requests. In production environments the header is added by a proxy.

Adding this header manually in all tests is annoying.

Answer 1

As @pvpkiran suggested I've created the Filter

public class AddHeadersFilter implements Filter {

    @Override
    public Response filter(FilterableRequestSpecification requestSpec, FilterableResponseSpecification responseSpec, FilterContext ctx) {
        requestSpec.header(new Header(IntegrationBaseTest.HEADER_USER_NAME, "test-user"));

        return ctx.next(requestSpec, responseSpec);
    }

}

Then I've added it to all tests

    @BeforeClass
    public static void configureRestAssured() {
        RestAssured.filters(new AddHeadersFilter());
    }

Seems to work.

I've also added (I hope) helpful configuration

        HeaderConfig headerConfig = headerConfig()
                .overwriteHeadersWithName(HEADER_USER_NAME);
        RestAssured.config().headerConfig(headerConfig);

So there is a way to override the header in some tests
