java - RestAssured : PATCH : 500 using rest assured but success in postman

Question

I automated one of the patch request using Rest-assured, it was working before and suddenly it stopped working and throwing 500 error but the same requests works just fine in Post man. Please help

             given()
            .auth().preemptive().basic("user", "pwd")
            .headers(RequestUtils.getDefaultHeaders())
            .when()
            .patch(AUTH + "/" + REFERENCE + "/authorizations")
            .then()
            .statusCode(204).extract().response();

Patch command in debug would look like below,

http://localhost:8080/cxf/rest/tradeservice/branches/ABC/trade/abc123456/authorizations

it works perfectly fine in Postman

RequestUtils.getDefaultHeaders() is used to build header. similar request is working fine for POST request

 static Headers getDefaultHeaders() {
    List<Header> headerList = new ArrayList<>();
    headerList.add(new Header("id", "sit" + DataGeneration.generate8Digit()));
    headerList.add(new Header("Content-type", "application/json;version=1.0.0"));
    return new Headers(headerList);
}

getting below error in rest-assured

java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.
Expected status code <204> but was <500>.

Answer 1

Try to print the entire request & response in console and see what's the problem. NOTE: I've removed status code assertion step due to avoid failing.

         given()
        .log().all()
        .auth().preemptive().basic("user", "pwd")
        .headers(RequestUtils.getDefaultHeaders())
        .when()
        .patch(AUTH + "/" + REFERENCE + "/authorizations")
        .then()
        .log().all()
        .extract().response();
