Failed to parse the JSON document

I am getting a "Failed to parse the JSON document" error along with another error: "Caused by: groovy.json.JsonException: Lexing failed on line:" that I can't figure out.

CODE:

@Test
public void givenData() {
    RestAssured.baseURI = "https://maps.googleapis.com";

    Response returnGivenData = given().
    param("location", "-33.8670522,151.195736").
    param("radius", "500").
    param("key", "AIzaSyBde6fW-IAx1j-J5TqNOwmvx-_QPHozqRY").
    when().
    get("/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json").
    then().assertThat().statusCode(200).and().
    contentType(ContentType.JSON).and().
    body("results[0].name", equalTo("Sydney")).and().
    body("results[0].place_id", equalTo("ChIJP3Sa8ziYEmsRUKgyFmh9AQM")).and().
    header("Server", "pablo").
    extract().
    response();
    JsonPath responseJson = ReusableMethods.convertRawDataToJson(returnGivenData);

    int count = responseJson.get("results.size()"); //ERROR LINE
    System.out.println(count);
}

Just try to store it in a variable of String type and then parse that variable into the JsonPath as argument/parameter, also make sure extract the response as .asString() but not to.String().

Solved for me.

In my case, the endpoint which I was passing inside get() method as an argument didn't consist of BASE_URL. I observed that Response of RestAssured.given()... expects BASE_URL + endpoint as the argument in get() method. Even baseUri() method is not required for given() in this case.

.extract().response().asString(); instead of .toString() works for me when caught with a similar error

Using Intellij as IDE and for me "extract().asString()" worked, I had appended "toString()" earlier which was causing issue.

Use

asString() instead of toString()

I had the same and it was fixed for me.

I was having the issue and found that I was initializing the string before the line where RestAssured.baseURI = "http://...."; I fixed it.

However, in your case, I believe you can use
responseJson.getInt("results.size()")
instead of
get("results.size()"); in the error line.

use .asString() methode after response(). please make sure you are using .asString() methode inplace of .tostring() and your JSONPath is correct

I ran into same Json Exception. I found that it occurred because Json Path was not getting proper input to parse. In my case input to JsonPath was the response coming from rest assured given(), when() and then() after sending post request to a rest api and it was null. So would suggest to put logs on returnGivenData and check if it is as expected.
