java.lang.AssertionError: expected [201] but found [201] - rest

Question

I am pretty new to testing with RestAssured and using the methods.
This is my code
package com.123.tests;
import com.jayway.restassured.response.Response;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured;
import com.jayway.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification;
public class PersonPostTest {
#Test
public void RegistrationSuccessful()
{
RestAssured.baseURI ="https://reqres.in/api";
RequestSpecification request = RestAssured.given();
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("name", "morpheus");
obj.put("job", "leader");
request.body(obj.toString());
Response response = request.post("/users");
int statusCode = response.getStatusCode();
Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, "201");
String successCode = response.jsonPath().get("SuccessCode");
Assert.assertEquals( "Got the correct code", successCode, "Success");
}
}
and everything seems to be good but I get this below error.
[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 6.14.2
FAILED: RegistrationSuccessful
java.lang.AssertionError: expected [201] but found [201]
I don't seem to understand what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

The return type of getStatusCode() is Integer.
You are checking equality of statusCode which is Integer(201) with Object type. That is the issue here.
Try with below snippet. It works.
Response response = request.post("/users");
int statusCode = response.getStatusCode();
Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, 201);

Answer 2

Check for Object Types here:
Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, "201");
One is Integer and the other is String. That's the reason for failure. Make sure to convert them to the same type.
Replace the assertion with the below:
Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, new Integer(201));
