Hi, I get Receiver class io.restassured.internal.RequestSpecificationImpl does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)' of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.

I recently updated Kotlin version in my repository from “1.3.72” to “1.4.21” and the issue I am getting when launching tests is shown below. When I first noticed issue I tried to upgrade Rest Assured from “4.3.0” to “4.3.3” but it did not help. My current work around is to use version “4.2.1” which seems to be the last one to work smoothly.

I can confirm the issue also occurs with kotlin “1.4.30”. This in combination with “org.springframework.boot” version “2.4.3” The highest rest-assured version, which works in this setup is “4.2.1”.

[jensim]

Ive been fiddling around like crazy with this now, and i got it working, at least for a simple project setup, by setting the groovy version variable in maven, that is used in the spring-boot-dependencies pom, so in practice its possible to override verison. https://github.com/jensim/restassured-spring-jdk11/blob/main/pom.xml#L20 <groovy.version>3.0.7</groovy.version>
