Pact Foundation

Or maybe this should just be a consumer w/ http client like in your video demo, instead of using cy.request() to send request

Hey Charles! I'll take a look at this next week :+1:(reminder set)

Thanks - I think my usage might be a bit of edge case - but I for sure appreciate the help!

Is there more documentation out there beyond <https://github.com/pactflow/pact-cypress-adapter> for using contracts with cypress?

It’s designed for use with our BDCT feature. See <https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/bi-directional-contract-testing> and <https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/workshops/bi-directional-contract-testing>.

It’s _not_ designed for use with standard Pact verification.

Do you have any specific questions on it?

Matt wrote a blog post about it a while back

<https://pactflow.io/blog/cypress-pact-front-end-testing-with-confidence/>

and we have an e2e demo that you can see in action and run

<https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/examples/bi-directional/consumer/cypress/>

This is an alternative to our initial proposal, which when designed, bi-directional contract testing wasn't a thing, in Pactflow. This technique was used by Contentful, as described <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs5ebVzG_Q4&amp;ab_channel=Contentful|here>

HTH

Is there a functional difference between using the cy.intercept &amp; cy.usePactWait() vs cy.usePactRequest?

`cy.usePactWait` listens to aliased `cy.intercept` commands <https://github.com/pactflow/pact-cypress-adapter#cyusepactwaitalias--alias>

`cy.usePactRequest` will use Pact to issue the request and `cy.usePactGet` to serialise into a pact file

The former will be used when you app actually issues the request, the second is issuing the request itself, which may not be the same as your app issues (not sure why one would use this use case)

Using Pact &amp; Cypress?

Been itching for provider states and matchers?

You might want to get involved in a review of the following PR's

Hi Team, I am a QE and have just started learning about Pact and looking for possibilities to introduce it to our team.
Do we have to write Pact tests close to the dev code only? Can we write contract tests in a different repo (other than dev repo) using Pact/Cypress? Would it still serve the purpose?

For others, I’ve answered htat here: <https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/C5F4KFKR8/p1673381550927689>

I've archived this repo

as it was just a placeholder with no info, and provided links to the current adapter implementation.
