java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'assertionClosure' on null object

I get this exception (java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property ‘assertionClosure’ on null object) when using the RequestSpecificationBuilder as below and sending a request using POST method

//Elsehwere 
RequestSpecification r = RestAssured.given().relaxedHTTPSValidation().accept(ContentType.ANY)
                .auth().preemptive().basic(cslConsole.getloginUser(), cslConsole.getloginPassword())
                .baseUri(cslConsole.getManagementConsoleURL());
basicRequest.spec(r);

//At the point of sending the request
RequestSpecBuilder builder = new RequestSpecBuilder();
builder.addRequestSpecification(basicRequest);
builder.addQueryParam("param","50");
builder.setBasePath("/api/v1/scsr");
builder.setBody("Some body");
RequestSpecification request = reqSpecbuilder.build();
String url = "https://10.0.2.4:8443/"
Response response = request.post(url); ---->exception

Is this expected ? I do not see an issue with the RequestSpecBuilder .setBody() as I am using it with only POST? Any clues ?

+1 `public CommonHelpers() { spec = builder.addHeader(“User-Agent”, USER_AGENT).build() .baseUri(BASE_URL) .contentType(ContentType.JSON);

} public static Response getEntities(Map<String, String> queryParams) { spec.basePath(BASE_PATH); Optional.ofNullable(queryParams).ifPresent(spec::parameters); return spec.when().get(); }`

The exception is raised at spec.when().get()

Pass your built RequestSpecification instance to the given method…

RestAssured.given(spec).get();

Yeah sounds like a bug 😦

Getting the same error on running the below code.

RequestSpecBuilder request = new RequestSpecBuilder(); request.setBaseUri(“https://google.com”); String str2 = request.build().when().get().asString(); System.out.println(str2);

Where as it working in the below code.

String str1 = given().baseUri(“https://google.com”).when().get().asString(); System.out.println(str1);

It should be a bug.
