The import io.restassured.RestAssured cannot be resolved

Question

Hi I am not able to resolve the error while using rest assured 4.1.1. library in my Eclipse IDE. I have added the rest assured library in my pom.xml file still the error is not resolved.

I tried re-importing the rest assured library from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.rest-assured/rest-assured/4.1.1 But still doesn't work

Answer 1

You have the scope set to test when you are adding the mentioned dependency. This limits your code from accessing that dependency's classes within your source code. That is, you can access those classes only within your test sources (ex: ${project.dir}/src/test/java/<package>, ${project.dir}/test/<package>.

If that is not your intended use case, just remove the scope attribute.

  <dependency>
      <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
      <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
      <version>4.1.1</version>
  </dependency>

Thanks a lot Imesha for the valuable and lucid explanation. – Corrida

Ya after changing the scope from test to compile. I can access the package from outside the src/test/java/ packages. – Glasgow

If we use gradle, what is the solution ? – Lifeguard

Answer 2

You can go to project>build automatically in case rest assured or any other methods are not importing .

This works for me!!

In this case we have to go at pom. Xml below this we can see dependencies bar click on this. Then click on rest assured jar then click on add. Mention artifact and group id and click
