Set restAssured to log all requests and responses

Question

I want to enable logging for all restAssured responses and requests by default.

Here's what I do:

RestAssured.requestSpecification = new RequestSpecBuilder().
        setBaseUri("api").
        setContentType(ContentType.JSON).
        build().
        log().all();
RestAssured.responseSpecification = new ResponseSpecBuilder().
        build().
        log().all();

requestSpecification works alright, but with responseSpecification I get:

Cannot configure logging since request specification is not defined. You may be misusing the API.

I really don't want to use log().all() after each then.

Answer 1

I think you need to see the logs then test fails, in this case just use this configuration from rest assured:

RestAssured.enableLoggingOfRequestAndResponseIfValidationFails();

Answer 2

Add logging filters to defaults of RestAssured, see here.
