What went wrong on RestAssured API call - automated-tests

Question

I am using following code to create issue on Jira which is hosted on my local machine.
But i am getting error code 400. I am not able to find out what went wrong and things are working perfectley fine when making the API call from post man.
I am using the API documentation available on below location for this -
https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, FileNotFoundException {
RestAssured.baseURI = "http://localhost:8080";
String headerKey=null;
String headerValue = null;
String body = "{\r\n" +
" \"fields\": {\r\n" +
" \"project\":\r\n" +
" {\r\n" +
" \"key\": \"GOOG\"\r\n" +
" },\r\n" +
" \"summary\": \"REST ye mereeery gentlemen.\",\r\n" +
" \"description\": \"Creating of an eeissue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API\",\r\n" +
" \"issuetype\": {\r\n" +
" \"name\": \"Bug\"\r\n" +
" }\r\n" +
" }\r\n" +
"}";
Map<String,String> authInfo = AuthenticateUser.getSessionInfo();
for(String key:authInfo.keySet()) {
System.out.println(key+":"+authInfo.get(key));
headerKey = key;
headerValue = authInfo.get(key);
}
given().header(headerKey,headerValue).body(body).contentType(ContentType.JSON).
when().post("/rest/api/2/issue/").
then().statusCode(201);
}
}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.
Expected status code <201> but was <400>.

Looking at your postman screenshot I can see that you've only passed headers and a body but your rest assured code seems a bit over populated with other references, Code 400 is BAD_REQUEST
I've framed a sample code which should help, If you still need assistance then revert
{
RequestSpecification req = RestAssured.given();
req.header("Content-Type", "application/json");
req.header("JSESSIONID", "9533");
req.body("{\n" +
" \"fields\": {\n" +
" \"project\":\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"key\": \"TEST\"\n" +
" },\n" +
" \"summary\": \"REST ye merry gentlemen.\",\n" +
" \"description\": \"Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API\",\n" +
" \"issuetype\": {\n" +
" \"name\": \"Bug\"\n" +
" }\n" +
" }\n" +
"}");
Response resp = req.post("http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue");
int code = resp.getStatusCode();
System.out.println("Status Code is : " + code);
String body = resp.asString();
System.out.println("Body is : " + body);
Assert.assertEquals(code, 201);
}
