Hey all blobwave , Just letting you know that we are deprecating have deprecated the basic auth on test.pactflow.io (see why below). If you are using the test broker, you just need to switch from user/password to token based auth. You can use these credentials:

export PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL=<https://test.pactflow.io>
export PACT_BROKER_TOKEN=129cCdfCWhMzcC9pFwb4bw

Users won’t be able to login with basic auth either, but you can use this pre-signed URL for them to login as a guest user and poke around: https://test.pactflow.io/login?code=98f7810e-c7dc-493b-9c3d-7849952f1d9a&utm_medium=web&utm_source=pact-js (update the UTM at the end to your project or remove them altogether) Want your own broker? If you’re a maintainer and would prefer to have your own PactFlow instance separate from above, please just create a free account here and let me know the PactFlow details once done to prevent it from downgrading at the end of a trial. Why / Background Basic auth is terrible. We thought it was broken and yesterday I updated the configuration of that tenant to make it a “normal” account. It wasn’t until a bit later that we realised basic auth was actually still working and something else was going on, but by then I’d already made all of the requisite updates across the foundation.

So we have our weekly community catch up tomorrow - was the plan to do the retro in the session, or add our retro items beforehand and use the session to vote / discuss? I see Josh has gone in there, I might add a few today.

📣 Community meeting tomorrow, Wednesday 22 Jan 2025? Anyone around to meet? 📣 pact That's 10:00am for GMT which is 21:00 for our AEDT folk pact

are we zooming? I’ve lost link

Oh, I guess I missed it.

We talked over the miro board & 2025 goals. https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/C05HCLA3C93/p1736336202729579 we are going to async go over the miro doc, set a bit of a plan of things we want to tackle for the year and raise them in a pinned ticket in pact-foundation/roadmap repo. Jo & I are going to create a maintainers notification list in GH, so we can tag everyone for visibility in the created ticket. Oh and probably transposing our agenda items into issues or something in the roadmap repo, so we have gh tracking/searchability of the actions. Helps our engineers who aren’t in Miro/Slack

Since I was looking into ways of allowing to propagate PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL/TOKEN secrets in PRs from forks (see this thread), I was looking into some of the other secrets we store in the GitHub org and whether any are no longer used. I found just two which don't seem to be used by any repository: • PACTFLOW_PACT_OSS_TOKEN • SNYK_TOKEN

Hi folks 👋 Following on from last week’s maintainer meet up, we agreed that we would conduct an asynchronous retrospective on 2024. Access details for the board are here (also pinned so we don’t lose it to history). Instructions / timeline • Retro board is open to feedback from today, closing Monday 17th Feb • I will affinity map and attempt to summarise feedback and ideas • In the 19th February maintainer meetup, we can discuss some of this feedback and ideas, and discuss next steps (likely more workshops and planning) I will reach out to maintainers that aren’t on slack to ensure they have some input into the process (if they would like).

@Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go) @Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io) been chatting to ludorival wrt to his pact-jvm-mock library (https://github.com/ludorival/pact-jvm-mock). They have been asking how to integrate it with Pact-JVM (see https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/issues/1847). As they are already publishing it to Maven Central, I thought the best thing would to have a section in the pact docs for it.

📣 Community meeting tomorrow, Wednesday 05 Feb. Anyone around to meet? 📣 pact That's 10:00am for GMT which is 21:00 for our AEDT folk pact

Hey folks, I'll be summarising the retro board tomorrow in preparation for the next community meeting on Wednesday. Please have your items in by Monday EOD 17th

Hey folks - just a quick one. I won’t be able to make the maintainer meetup next week (March 5) as it’s my wife’s birthday and I have a dinner on 🙂

We got some feedback/updates on the canny board overnight (see https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/CSUFRDVKN/p1740587267520819). Given Yousaf put the notice up in July last year, I’ve taken the step to make the board private. Let’s give it a few weeks, and if nothing bad happens and we haven’t got anything in there we need, i’ll delete the board altogether. (I’ll migrate the comments added to the relevant GH issue)

📣 Community meeting today! Wednesday 05 March. Anyone around to meet? 📣 pact That's 10:00am for GMT which is 21:00 for our AEDT folk pact

Sorry I haven’t read https://github.com/pact-foundation/roadmap/pull/113/files yet @Tien Vo. On my todo for tomorrow! (Although I see some good conversation already happening, thanks everyone who has looked at it already!)

I cant join community meeting on Wednesday anymore because I am busy at that time.

📣 Community meeting tomorrow! Wednesday 18 March. Anyone around to meet? 📣 pact That's 10:00am for GMT which is 21:00 for our AEDT folk pact

I actually can’t make tonight either I’m afraid, sorry folks. I’m a bit behind on the retro board updates as well, sorry!

So... I just lost power at my place. I just have candles going 😅

Still no power 😬 so unlikely I'll make it to the meeting

OK, no worries Josh - thanks for letting us know. I hope power is restored soon for you!

blobwave I don’t think Josh is feeling well today. get well soon I’ll be around for the 45, if anyone wants to pop in but no worries otherwise.

ahh time zone fail (uk clocks gone forward). back in 45 ;D

I'll be there, see you soon

Sorry folks - I thought we agreed on the last call we were going to have these on a less regular cadence/as need basis. But I might be COMPLETELY making stuff up! _ I removed it from my calendar regardless, and had another work call. Hope it went well - miss your faces 👋

We did, but me and Jo are free at that time, so we don’t mind being available and hanging out. Gives us some dedicated Pact time. I am also going to make my calendly available, so that anyone can book an ad hoc meeting that may suit those that can’t make our dedicated slot

On the way back from a function, might be a touch late for the Meetup

I'll dial in from the car for the first bit
