Need to resolve this exception

Answer 1

Fixed using below solution from - https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/issues/923

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
  <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
  <version>3.0.5</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

I've fixed it by adding this one:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.11</version>
</dependency>
