Highlights

• Introduced the spring-mock-mvc-kotlin-extensions project which allows a nicer experience for Kotlin developers using the spring-mock-mvc module. This allows one to write tests like this:

   class RestAssuredMockMvcKotlinExtensionsTest {
  
       @Test
       fun example() {
           val mockMvc =
               MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(GreetingController())
                   .build()
  
           val id: Int =
           Given {
               mockMvc(mockMvc)
               param("name", "Johan")
           } When {
               get("/greeting")
           } Then {
               body(
                   "id", Matchers.equalTo(1),
                   "content", Matchers.equalTo("Hello, Johan!")
               )
           } Extract {
               path("id")
           }
  
           assertThat(id).isEqualTo(1)
   }

  To use it depend on:

  <dependency>
      <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-mock-mvc-kotlin-extensions</artifactId>
      <version>4.2.0</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>

  and import the extension functions from the io.restassured.module.mockmvc.kotlin.extensions package. Thanks to Myeonghyeon-Lee for pull request.

• Added a new object mapper type that supports the Jakarta EE JSON Binding (JSON-B) specification. By default it will use Eclipse Yasson as the JSON-B implementation. To use it simply include

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.eclipse</groupId>
       <artifactId>yasson</artifactId>
        <version>${yasson.version}</version>
   </dependency>

  in your classpath and then configure REST Assured to use it as its default ObjectMapperType:

   RestAssured.config = RestAssured.config.objectMapperConfig(ObjectMapperConfig.objectMapperConfig().defaultObjectMapperType(ObjectMapperType.JSONB));

  Thanks to Andrew Guibert for pull request.

• Added ability to blacklist headers so that they are not shown in the request or response log. Instead the header value will be replaced with [ BLACKLISTED ]. You can enable this per header basis using the LogConfig:

   given().config(config().logConfig(logConfig().blacklistHeader("Accept"))). ..

  The response log will the print:

  Request method:	GET
  Request URI:    http://localhost:8080/something
  Proxy:          <none>
  Request params: <none>
  Query params:   <none>
  Form params:    <none>
  Path params:    <none>
  Headers:        Accept=[ BLACKLISTED ]
  Cookies:        <none>
  Multiparts:     <none>
  Body:           <none>
  

  Thanks to Simone Ivan Conte for the help and initial pull request.
