Print response body when statusCode assert fails with restassured

Question

I'm using Hamcrest to unit test a REST API.

When I send a request, I often check for a 200 status code like this :

public void myTest() {
    url = "route/to/my/rest/api/";
    secured().when().get(url).then().statusCode(200);
}

But when I get a wrong code status, I only get an assertion error. Is there a way to automatically dump the response body (which contains the error) when the status code doesn't match ?

The secured() method :

public RequestSpecification secured() {
    return given().header("Authorization", "Bearer " + getAuth());
}

How can I adapt duplicated question's answer to my problem, as I'm using Restassured and not HttpURLConnection ? — Matthias Beaupère, Jul 25 '18 at 12:34
One solution was to use `secured().when().post(url).then().log().ifValidationFails(LogDetail.BODY).statusCode(200);` [source](https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/wiki/Usage#log-if-validation-fails) — Matthias Beaupère, Jul 25 '18 at 15:26
I know some time has passed, but this question is in no way a duplicate of the linked one in the close reason. That's talking about a different library and doing a different thing. — DaveyDaveDave, Jan 24 '20 at 11:16

As I mentioned in the comments I used the following

secured().when().post(url).then().log().ifValidationFails(LogDetail.BODY).statusCode(200);

You can find the source in the documentation

You can add a message to the assertion when test fails:

.statusCode(describedAs("The test fails because ...", is(200)))
