Set restAssured to log all requests and responses globally

Question

I want to enable logging for all RestAssured responses and requests by default.

Here's what I do:

RestAssured.requestSpecification = new RequestSpecBuilder().
        setBaseUri("api").
        setContentType(ContentType.JSON).
        build().
        log().all();
RestAssured.responseSpecification = new ResponseSpecBuilder().
        build().
        log().all();

requestSpecification works alright, but with responseSpecification I get:

Cannot configure logging since request specification is not defined. You may be misusing the API.

I really don't want to use log().all() after each then.

I think you need to see the logs then test fails, in this case just use this configuration from rest assured:

RestAssured.enableLoggingOfRequestAndResponseIfValidationFails();

Put this line of code on your @BeforeClass method and every given call will create a log just like using log.all() after every given:

RestAssured.filters(new RequestLoggingFilter(), new ResponseLoggingFilter());

Rest-Assured project:
https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/blob/master/rest-assured/src/main/java/io/restassured/filter/log/RequestLoggingFilter.java

You can define filters at the class level

public ClassName() {
    filters(new RequestLoggingFilter(), new ResponseLoggingFilter(), new ErrorLoggingFilter());
}
