java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class io.restassured.RestAssured

Hi John,

I am getting the below issue and I have tried all the options available. But unable to get it solved.
Please take a look into it and provide the solution. I have attached my POM here.

I am using the latest serenity 2.0.29.

Most likely the wrong version of RestAssured is being used. Do a dependency analysis or print the effective pom to see what version is being used; it needs to be the one used by your Serenity version.

Hi John,

We are upgrading the versions from serenity 1.2.2 to 2.0.29 and rest assured we were using 2.4.1.
Now I have removed the rest assured as an external dependencies. We are completely using serenity-rest which is 3.1.1.

And in the effective POM and mvn dependency:tree also I can see only one rest is present, which is serenity rest.

Please help me in this regard.

From memory, Serenity uses RestAssured 3.0.5. "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class io.restassured.RestAssured" indicates a class version conflict. Without working with your project directly, it is hard to say more.

I am also facing same issue. Can someone help on this ?

Following dependencies resolved my problem. Use consistent versions might help. I was using different versions for these 3 dependencies.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
        <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
        <artifactId>rest-assured-common</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
        <artifactId>json-path</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.1</version>
    </dependency>
