Hi team, I have a question about message level contract testing. In message level test, will the provider write the message into an existing kafka topic? Or just create the object to match the consumer defined Pact?

Is using tags being deprecated in favour of using branches? Is there a blog on this?

Sorrynotsorry for posting a job in the general channel, but please excuse us this once - I think you’ll agree it’s a pretty special moment for the Pactflow team. Did I mention we’re excited?

hi lil new here, I have created a pact using the junit5 library. How can I publish it to local pact broker? is there a way to do that without using the cli?

Hi - Pact Gurus 🙂 Is there a limit of interactions(tests) in pactflow. I tried with 1247 interactions and the test timed out .

👋 Hi everyone!

Could you, please point me to the right channel? I've got an issue with NumberTypeMatcher where the matcher does not recognise a negative number as Integer 🤔 Details in 🧵

Happy Monday everybody ralph wave and welcome to our new joiners

👋 Hi everyone!

👋 Hi everyone!

🤔 I'm looking at Pact message (in python specifically) and would like to get rid of the "...as there is no --provider-states-setup-url specified" warning and possibly add usage of states in somewhere. From a quick grep of "provider.states.setup.url" across pact-foundation and pactflow repos I can't find any examples (thought it was worth a try!) - it's used in "normal" http style Pact where the provider is spun up and the additional states endpoint can be spliced in somewhere, but I'm not sure how a nice pattern for message would look? Given the handler mapping approach for each of the provider states to implement, maybe it isn't actually necessary as this can be done via the defined handler itself? TLDR: does anyone have examples using provider states for message?

Hi team, I'm wondering what is the difference between Kafka schema registry and pact message level contract testing. Is there any article about Pact message level contract?

Does anyone know how to generate a pact file through GH actions. I've written a yml script that runs the consumer tests to generate the pacts. The tests are passing, and it's saying pact files generated, but there's no files in my repo, does anyone know how to access the generated file? This is the script output

OpenAPI3 spec file for the provider, and consumer contract generated via Montebank as per https://github.com/pactflow/example-bi-directional-consumer-mountebank

Ohh, I worked out what the above error was caused by - it was the way that the results from the Mountebank mocker where being turned into a contract - so fixed it and opened a PR - https://github.com/pactflow/example-bi-directional-consumer-mountebank/pull/6

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone is using bi-directional contract testing with multiple providers sharing a single contract? I'll thread some context 🧵

👋 we just started to evaluate pactflow and i'm able to trigger webhook events to bitbucket thanks to the webhook template library. question. are there any resource guides available to trigger aws codebuild? does anyone have any experience triggering from pactflow to codebuild?

Hello question regarding

--provider-states-setup-url

, if somehow, we cannot create a seperate endpoint for provider state url, what is the alternative way? we can use real endpoint in

before

block to arrange test data then run tests? I would like to know how others are doing 🙂

Hey Everyone, I am a QA at my company and new to Pact. Our company uses a microservice environment. Apparently, they tried to implement Pact in the past and it didn't catch on. I wanted to research a bit more to see if anything has changed. Here were some of the concerns that someone listed out for me from my company and I was hoping someone could help me understand if they are valid concerns still: • its consumer-oriented design being inconvenient to work with • Having services written in ruby, python, javascript and golang adds additional complexity. I believe there are pact libraries available for all of those languages, but I don't know anything about the non-ruby ones. • It's not well-suited to APIs where we don't control both ends of the implementation, e.g. APIs we provide to clients

Hello , quick question for provider state set up, I have tried to send request to deployed test server(provider) for testing v3 beta but it throw an error(Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 405) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Preflight_request is the pact framework use a headless browser to send request? lol

Hello everyone! I asked about the development of a Flutter library on Twitter some days ago.. Matt can you please DM me so we can continue our conversation? Thanks

Hello everyone

I'm having an issue running a producer test

When I run it, I get dependency errors that I cannot mock

Does the Producer test run the entire app?

Hi team I am facing a basic issue: 1. There are two consumers say pact-consumer and pact-consumer-b for same provider 2. When pact-consumer publishes new contract with tag T1, webhook triggers build for provider 3. When provider build runs, it verifies successfully contract between pact-consumer and provider with tag T1 but fails for pact-consumer-b and provider with tag T1(as expected) Below screenshot shows provider annotation where pactConsumerTag value is T1 sent by webhook as explained in thread

Hello, Is there a way to test a consumer contract (as bi-directional contract) with a provider without publishing it to the broker ?

I have an issue running the pact-protobuf-plugin binary inside a Docker container. I'm using pactflow/pact-protobuf-plugin v0.1.7. When running Pact tests, the tests fail. I tracked this to the plug-in binary failing to start due to "Cannot assign requested address".

# /root/.pact/plugins/protobuf-0.1.7/pact-protobuf-plugin
Error: Os { code: 99, kind: AddrNotAvailable, message: "Cannot assign requested address" }

This happens on the maven:3-openjdk-17-slim (and other maven images) and also on ubuntu:latest. I think there is an issue with the plug-in attempting to bind

::1

, an IPv6 address, which is not supported in containers by default. Is there a workaround for getting the pact-protobuf-plugin binary to listen on a different localhost address? I need to be able to run Pact tests inside a container as part of a build pipeline.

Hello Everyone. I am bit new to Contract testing and recently started exploring it for consumer driven contract testing in Android App. The use case I am trying to solve is to generate pact file while i am running my UI Tests in Android app. My Android app makes multiple API requests to our backend server which i have currently mocked the responses through "Wiremock" framework. The next step i want to do is to record all the interactions made by the app and create a pact file so as i can validate it against my reack backend server. In order to do so i have integrated "Wiremock Pact Generator" developed by Atlassian team : https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/wiremock-pact-generator/src/master/ but i am facing crash while running my UI tests.
