restAssured json schema validation - reading json schema file assertion getting failed

Question

I am using restAssured for my json schema validation. Below is my script for assertion: String JsonString = response.asString(); Assert.assertEquals(JsonString,matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath("quotesschema.json"));

And I have placed my quotesschema.json file in project/bin folder.

When I run my test script, assertion fails with below message java.lang.AssertionError: expected [] but found [actual api response]

Also, I validated my schema against api response thru http://json-schema-validator.herokuapp.com/ schema validator.

Not sure whether its reading my schema inside the .son file. Below is my schema.

    "type": "object",
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-03/schema",

matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath method returns JsonSchemaValidator class and not a String.

That's why your Assert will not work, where strings are compared:

JsonString = response.asString();
Assert.assertEquals(JsonString,matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath("quotesschema.json"));   

Actual usage be inside body() method as explained below:

get("RESTPATH").then().assertThat().body(matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath("quotesschema.json"));
