RestAssured Connection refused- not using Spring

Question

I am trying to run a Junit test case to check a REST endpoint. The connection is refused every time. I came across an SO post where someone solved it by setting the port via Spring annotations. I am trying to avoid that as much as possible however. Has anyone solved this without using Spring annotations? When I run this on a Wildfly server the URL (in the error below) works fine.

public class HelloServiceTest {

private static RequestSpecification spec;

@BeforeClass
public static void initSpec(){    
    spec = new RequestSpecBuilder()
            .setContentType(ContentType.JSON)
            .setBaseUri("http://localhost/")
            .addFilter(new ResponseLoggingFilter())//log request and response for better debugging. You can also only log if a requests fails.
            .addFilter(new RequestLoggingFilter())
            .build();
}

@Test
public void emptyTest(){}


//https://blog.philipphauer.de/testing-restful-services-java-best-practices/  

@Test
public void testGetUserInfo(){
    given()
            .spec(spec)
            //.param("limit", 20)
            .when()
            .get("demoapi/rest/helloservice/json/103")
            .then()
            .statusCode(200);

    //        Response resp = client.target("http://localhost:8080/demoapi/rest/helloservice/json/103").request().get();
    // assertEquals("login name: jbray", resp.toString());
}

Error

Is your app running at port 8080 before you execute the tests? — Jorge Chavez, Sep 12 '17 at 19:35

RestAssured junit integration will assume that the server is up and the app is deployed. This part is not the responsibility of RestAssured. The RequestSpecification part you have done as the setup of test merely puts some common configs and repeatable test specs at one place. You can however start an embedded server like Jetty as shown here in examples as part of your test setup.

Ohhh, so I need to launch the server, then run the RestAssured test cases in my IDE? – Rilcon42 Sep 12 '17 at 19:59

RestAssured Connection refused- not using Spring
