Java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: groovy / lang / GroovyObject

Question

Error trying to test web services in Jersey

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: groovy/lang/GroovyObject Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: groovy.lang.GroovyObject 

.

 import static com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured.expect; import static com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured.get; import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.equalTo; import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.nullValue; import org.junit.Test; public class SimpleTest { @Test public void testUserFetchesSuccess() { expect(). body("id", equalTo("1")). when(). get("/service"); } } 

What does it mean? How to fix it?

UPDATE

I downloaded and installed groovy -all. Now I get:

Answer 1

Download groovy-all.jar and add it to the classpath.

With Maven, add this to your dependencies ( view groovy -all on mvnrepository.com ):

 <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId> <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId> <version>2.4.5</version> </dependency> 

Answer 2

Perhaps you need to define a runner with an annotation over your class?

In my case, this is @RunWith (SerenityRunner.class)
