I keep getting this compilation error :

The method useRelaxedHTTPSValidation() is undefined for the type RestAssured

when I use RestAssured.useRelaxedHTTPSValidation();

Please tell me what I am missing and why is it giving me this compilation error ?

Answer 1

Looks like you re using .rest-assured-1.3.jar. I don't think that method exists in RestAssured 1.3: https://static.javadoc.io/com.jayway.restassured/rest-assured/1.3.1/com/jayway/restassured/RestAssured.html

Try upgrading to the latest version of RestAssured (currently 3.0.1).
