0.7.0 upgrade - nullPointerException when performing request with missing or invalid basic auth credentials

See original GitHub issue

The following scenario passes on 0.6.2 but fails on 0.7.0

  Scenario: Basic Auth Credentials must be supplied for POST
    Given path '/apath'
    And request
    """
      {
        "foo": "bar"
      }
    """
    When method PUT
    Then status 401
    And match response.errors[0].code == "unauthorized"
    And match response.errors[0].message == "Not authorized"

I get the response

If I revert back to 0.6.2 it works again!

this is a bug in Apache ! https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1888

fixed in dev.

for those who need a workaround but don’t want to use karate-jersey this is a possible workaround in the pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.5.5</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
