Hi, I get Receiver class io.restassured.internal.RequestSpecificationImpl does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)' of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.

I recently updated Kotlin version in my repository from "1.3.72" to "1.4.21" and the issue I am getting when launching tests is shown below. When I first noticed issue I tried to upgrade Rest Assured from "4.3.0" to "4.3.3" but it did not help. My current work around is to use version "4.2.1" which seems to be the last one to work smoothly.

Possibly Due To Groovy Library. I Also Faced This Issue. When I Removed Groovy Dependencies, It Started Working Fine.

[edtbl76]

I have the same problem but there aren't any groovy dependencies. I've seen similar issues in the past getting 4.x restAssured w/ SpringBoot. I've pulled in json-path and xml-path dependencies to avoid some of the conflicts. 4.2.1 is an ok work around.

[mike-seger]

I can confirm the issue also occurs with kotlin "1.4.30". This in combination with "org.springframework.boot" version "2.4.3" The highest rest-assured version, which works in this setup is "4.2.1".

[makobernal]

@mike-seger Thanks for the message. I can confirm under my setup (Kotlin 1.4.32 / Spring Boot 2.4.4) the issue can be reproduced, and that rest-assured doesn't work beyond 4.2.1.

[RamiaSaidawi]

any work around ?

[jensim]

Ive been fiddling around like crazy with this now, and i got it working, at least for a simple project setup, by setting the groovy version variable in maven, that is used in the spring-boot-dependencies pom, so in practice its possible to override verison. https://github.com/jensim/restassured-spring-jdk11/blob/main/pom.xml#L20 <groovy.version>3.0.7</groovy.version>

[jensim]

<groovy.version>3.0.7</groovy.version> might not be a solution for more complex projects that rely on groovy version 2.x

[Marek00Malik]

This issue is also on the latest java & Gradle version. I don't see any actions on RestAssured to start supporting groovy 3.0. Does anyone have any idea?

[johanhaleby]

REST Assured supports Groovy 3.x. If you're using it with Spring Boot they default to an older version of Groovy if I'm not mistaken. This is why you need to specify the groovy version explicitly.

adding <groovy.version>3.0.7</groovy.version> solved the issue for me! Thanx
