body(InputStream) does not work

The same error as reported fixed in the closed issue https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/issues/1040. I am using rest-assured 4.3.3 (the version is forced by the newest Spring Boot 2.5.0).

My code:

class MyTest  {
    @Value("classpath:/valid-request.xml")
    private Resource validRequest;
    ....
    @Test
    void myTest() {
        given()
                .header("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=UTF-8")
                .header("SOAPAction", "myService")
                .body(validRequest.getInputStream())  // this does not work
//              .body(validRequest.getFile())  // this works
        .when()
                .post("/myApi")
        .then()
                .log().ifValidationFails()
                .statusCode(200)
                .contentType("text/xml")
        ;
        
    }
}

Rest-assured interprets the InputStream as an Object and cannot handle it.

However, when I replace getInputStream() with getFile(), it works.

I observed the same issue using restAssured. It seems that it’s calling .toString() somewhere on the inputStream and sending the string instead of the contents of the InputStream…

Issue, described by snowbldr still persists in 4.5.1. Instead of sending content of InputStream, current implementation sends a name of Java object.
