Release Notes for REST Assured 1.4.5

Highlights

• Better support for cookies:

• You can now create multi-value cookies using e.g.

  given().cookie("cookieName", "value1", "value2"). ..

  This will create two cookies, cookieName=value1 and cookieName=value2.

• Fixed a serious issue with the cookie parsing that caused cookie attributes to be parsed as a new cookie (issue 130).

• Support for getting detailed cookies using the Response.getDetailedCookies() method. You can also get a single detailed cookie using the Response.getDetailedCookie(java.lang.String) method. Detailed cookies contains e.g. comment, path and expiry date.

• Creation of detailed cookies:

  Cookie someCookie = new Cookie.Builder("some_cookie", "some_value").setSecured(true).build();
  given().cookie(someCookie).and().expect().body(equalTo("x")).when().get("/cookie");

• Better support for headers: You can now create multi-value headers using e.g.

  given().header("headerName", "value1", "value2"). ..

  This will create two headers, headerName=value1 and headerName=value2.

Non-backward compatible changes

• To allow for multi-value headers the old Response.getHeaders() and Response.headers() no longer returns Map<String,String>. Now these methods returns a Headers instance instead.

Other notable changes

• Added support for serializing objects to a parameter if the content-type is set:

  given().
          contentType("application/json").
          queryParam("category", "Games").
          formParam("object", new GameObject(..)). // GameObject will be serialized to JSON
  when().
          post("/somewhere");

• Added support for mapping a path to a Java object in JsonPath, e.g:

 Book book = from(JSON).getObject("store.book[2]", Book.class);
