error with hamcrest assertion when running rest-assured script

Question

I am trying to run this script for rest-assured, the last line uses a hamcrest assertion to validate the response body:

import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.path.json.JsonPath;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.*;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

public class Basics {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //Validate Add location API
    
    
    // Setting up base URI
    RestAssured.baseURI = "https://rahulshettyacademy.com";
    
    //given : all inputs wrapped under given method // when : hit the API // then : validate the response


    //add location
    
    String response = given().log().all().queryParam("key", "qaclick123")
            .header("Content-Type","application/json")
            .body(payLoad.addLocation())
    .when().post("/maps/api/place/add/json")
    .then().assertThat().statusCode(200)
            .body("scope", equalTo("APP"))
            .header("Server",("Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)"))
            .extract().response().asString();

    System.out.println(response);

    //using JasonPath for parsing json

    JsonPath js = new JsonPath(response);
    String place_id = js.getString("place_id");
    System.out.println(place_id);

    //update location

    given().log().all().queryParam("key","qaclick123")
            .header("Content-Type","application/json")
            .body("{\n" +
                    "\"place_id\":\""+place_id+"\",\n" +
                    "\"address\":\"70 Summer walk, USA\",\n" +
                    "\"key\":\"qaclick123\"\n" +
                    "}")
            .when().put("/maps/api/place/add/json")
            .then().log().all().assertThat()
            .statusCode(200).body("msg",equalTo("Address successfully updated"));

  }
}

It goes all well untill the last assertion to validate the response body, at the other place with the POST request the assertion is validating the response body but in the PUT request throws me this error:

Please help me understand what am I missing here

pls show the last response. if response is null or empty --> throws this exception. — lucas-nguyen-17

the content-length of your response is 0. Is that how it is expected to be? — Alexey R.
– Alexey R., Commented Nov 11, 2022 at 8:49
@AlexeyR. thanks for your response, I forgot to mention in postman we get a response: { "msg": "Address successfully updated" } its a dummy setup though — mangesh

@lucas-nguyen-17 i checked the response-length is zero but in postman we get a json response with success message — mangesh

URL of PUT request should be

https://rahulshettyacademy.com/maps/api/place/update/json?key=qaclick123

You used URL of POST request for PUT request.
