my java program is as bellow

SimpleGetTest.java

import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.http.Method;
import io.restassured.response.Response;
import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification;

public class SimpleGetTest {

    @Test
    public void GetWeatherDetails()
    {   
        // Specify the base URL to the RESTful web service
        RestAssured.baseURI = "http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city/";

        // Get the RequestSpecification of the request that you want to sent
        // to the server. The server is specified by the BaseURI that we have
        // specified in the above step.
        RequestSpecification httpRequest = RestAssured.given();

        // Make a request to the server by specifying the method Type and the method URL.
        // This will return the Response from the server. Store the response in a variable.
        Response response = httpRequest.request(Method.GET, "/Hyderabad");

        // Now let us print the body of the message to see what response
        // we have received from the server
        String responseBody = response.getBody().asString();
        System.out.println("Response Body is =>  " + responseBody);

    }

}

external jar used:

1. rest-assured-4.2.0
2. json-path-4.0.0
3. xml-path-4.0.0
4. groovy-2.4.7
5. commons-lang3-3.0
6. httpmime-4.3.1

Answer 1

If you are using rest-assured of version 4.2.0 then you should keep all the related JARs like json-path and xml-path of same version and

As a best practice al was use the latest jars which has include most of the bug fixes Looks like you need to use latest version of json-path for now you can use

io.rest-assured:json-path:4.3.0
io.rest-assured:xml-path:4.3.0

Also make sure your runtime environment classpath includes those JARs and with the same version used while compile time.

Edit :

Also include

io.rest-assured:rest-assured-common:4.3.0

The below is the list of JAR's that are required for you

For PKIX error

If -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore is present in your JVM arguments, Java will use the keystore specified with that argument. You can verify whether the -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore parameter is causing problems by running the SSLPoke test and specifying the same JVM argument to use that keystore.

For example:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/my/custom/truststore SSLPoke jira.example.com 443

You are trygin to access a secure URL . hence you need to import the public certificate in your keystore first.
