Problems matching a long value in Rest Assured json body

I have the following response:

[
    {
        "id": 53,
        "fileUri": "abc",
        "filename": "abc.jpg",
        "fileSizeBytes": 578466,
        "createdDate": "2018-10-15",
        "updatedDate": "2018-10-15"
    },
    {
        "id": 54,
        "fileUri": "xyz",
        "filename": "xyz.pdf",
        "fileSizeBytes": 88170994,
        "createdDate": "2018-10-15",
        "updatedDate": "2018-10-15"
    }
]

and I am trying to match the id value to the object in JUnit like so:

RestAssured.given() //
                .expect() //
                .statusCode(HttpStatus.SC_OK) //
                .when() //
                .get(String.format("%s/%s/file", URL_BASE, id)) //
                .then() //
                .log().all() //
                .body("", hasSize(2)) //
                .body("id", hasItems(file1.getId(), file2.getId()));

But when the match occurs it tries to match an int to a long. Instead I get this output:

java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.
JSON path id doesn't match.
Expected: (a collection containing <53L> and a collection containing <54L>)
  Actual: [53, 54]

How does one tell Rest Assured that the value is indeed a long even though it might be short enough to fit in an int? I can cast the file's id to an int and it works, but that seems sloppy.

As mentioned in this answer, the Integer type is preferred by RestAssured during the deserialization. However, if you really need to assure the data type, you can use a number greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE, to force the deserialization to use Long.

So, in your example:

[
    {
        "id": Integer.MAX_VALUE + 53,
        "fileUri": "abc",
        "filename": "abc.jpg",
        "fileSizeBytes": 578466,
        "createdDate": "2018-10-15",
        "updatedDate": "2018-10-15"
    },
    {
        "id": Integer.MAX_VALUE + 54,
        "fileUri": "xyz",
        "filename": "xyz.pdf",
        "fileSizeBytes": 88170994,
        "createdDate": "2018-10-15",
        "updatedDate": "2018-10-15"
    }
]

And the assertion:

RestAssured.given()
                .expect()
                .statusCode(HttpStatus.SC_OK)
                .when()
                .get(String.format("%s/%s/file", URL_BASE, id))
                .then()
                .body("id", hasItems(
                    Integer.MAX_VALUE + file1.getId(), 
                    Integer.MAX_VALUE + file2.getId()));

The problem is that when converting from json to java type, int type selected, one solution is to compare int values. instead of 

.body("id", hasItems(file1.getId(), file2.getId()));

use

.body("id", hasItems(new Long(file1.getId()).intValue(), new Long(file2.getId()).intValue()));
