I have imported all the required jars to run RestAssured program. But facing this error.

import io.restassured.RestAssured;

import static io.restassured.RestAssured.*; public class bascis {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        RestAssured.baseURI="https://rahulshettyacademy.com";
        given().log().all().queryParam("key", "qaclick123").header("Content-Type","application/json")

Answer 1

Why not use maven to solve this dependency problem?, if you want you can use the following steps, its fairly easy.

1. Create a maven project
2. Add pom.xml at the root folder
3. Add the following in your pom.xml for the rest assured dependency

<dependency> <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId> <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId> <version>4.4.0</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>

4. After this run

mvn clean install

5. Use the same program and run it.

Answer 2

The rest assured library was created to be used in the test scope. You shouldn't use it in main scope.

• src
  • main
  • test <-- correct way

The rest assured library must be used in the test scope as explained here: The import io.restassured.RestAssured cannot be resolved

I recommend using gradle to manage dependencies. If you prefer, you can Download this project with the structure with main, test. In addition to gradle and JUnit support: https://github.com/developercancun/gradle-simple

git clone https://github.com/developercancun/gradle-simple.git

Run from the console in the project directory

./gradlew clean build
