Is there support for

AsyncApi

and/or Pulsar. if so, any examples?, if not, why not?

👋 Hi everyone!: I’m a long time back pactflow OSS subscriber and user. How do I move my account and/or contracts to the new SmartBear platform?

Hi all, I need to build contract tests for a microservice based system, where some of the microservices interact with external APIs both as consumers and providers. For the interactions between "internal" microservices I am using classical Pact, but for the interactions with external APIs I am planning to use the new bidirectional contract testing approach as the documentation suggests it is better suited. I was wondering if anyone else has ever attempted this mixed use of Pact and bidirectional contract testing , or whether you think it is better to stick with one.

Hi. My company makes very heavy use of Kafka, and i’ve been interested recently in bi-directional contract testing. We use Avro schemas stored in a schema registry, so i’m aware that ours isn’t a particularly common use-case for Pact. I’ve seen this on the roadmap: https://github.com/pactflow/roadmap/issues/32, so i’m curious about how i might be able to help. I’m new to Pact so I imagine getting to grips with how this works for messaging systems now is the first step?

Hi there 🙂 Recently I found the

bidirectional

testing option in your framework. I have a question - what is the difference: • using PactFlow bidirectional idea (verify vs OAS schema) • creating mocks based on client with models generated from OAS From my understanding, the only difference is that having bidirectional option with whole Pact tooling gives us ability to find consumers of specific OAS (from producer perspective). Am I missing something?

Hi All, We are trialing out pactflow in our organisation. I have question regarding number of integrations available in started plan. With the starter plan 5 application integrations are allowed. I'm not sure which one is applicable. Would be great if someone can confirm this: 1. 5 different providers with each provider having n number of consumers? 2. 5 different provider & consumer combination

Hey Pactflow, Does the pact-cypress-adapter work on Cypress v10+ ?

Looking for suggestions on how to deprecate fields in API / Provider Contract in Pactflow BDCT scenario. Our FE app installs our API OAS and uses it to create request handlers for API, and we also use this installed OAS in FE with openapi-backend library to mock responses for MSW/pact-msw-adapter. We are now looking to remove some fields from the API OAS, and have already stopped FE app from using them. Trouble is, the current OAS schema used for mock generation and consequently for pact-msw-adapter still has those fields, and the resulting Consumer Contract expects them to be present in OAS (Provider Contract). This means that a PR on the API OAS to remove these fields fails verification. Does anyone have any experience with handling this?

Can I disable the verification results requirement?

We are doing a pactflow POC, and I’d like to get a sanity check on what we’re attempting… we’d like to pilot bidirectional contract testing, and our services communicate via async messaging over (pulsar) queues.

Hi , I am looking to do a POC for contract testing with pact on a Frontend (Legacy Python Pyramid app: consumer) and a microservice (Python API). Because both consumer and provider are legacy apps, its not easy to bring them up locally to be able to perform consumer driven contract testing. So i read about Bi-directional contract testing where I can use the exisiting OpenAPi spec and a testing tool in provider side to create a contract and still implement contract testing workflow . I still just want to ask this question to this group to validate if this is the path i can take forward or am i missing something here ? Appreciate your help

Hi all, anyway we can turn off the header warnings?

Hi All, I have a question about testing message based systems: with http consumer based testing, you start the provider service and have the ability to set state. With a message based system, is there still the ability to run the provider and set up state? All of the examples I’ve seen look like straight unit tests that don’t involve running the provider. I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Thanks!

Hey all, we have this validation error, however all the validators were running against say the OAS is valid.. How is this being determine / How can we perform this check locally to find the issue?

"nullable" cannot be used without "type"

Hello) My company uses PactFlow and now we're exploring bi-directional tests. Microservices of our product may have multiple API versions and in this case multiple OAS files are generated (we use Swagger). Can PactFlow somehow handle different API versions of Provider if they are stored in separate docs? I tried uploading them one at a time, but they override each other. Thank you in advance.

Am I correct in that generating the provider-side contract in PactFlow is limited to the following two options? 1. Upload OpenAPI (OAS), which contains only schema information and decoupled examples of possible inputs and outputs? 2. Running the Consumer's pact against a running instance of the Provider (and therefore all of its dependencies as well).

Hi Team, we are trying to achieve a bidirectional approach for messaging pacts, does pactflow support messaging based system specification file?

Hi all, Is there an option to integrate pactflow with slack to get notification on slack channel whenever new contract is published?

Has anyone did any research around this topic?

A dumb question may be : we are trying to help a client implement contract testing and they have thrift protocol between services is what I understand. Can somebody please explain the relevance of contract testing in such a situation? @Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io) @Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

Hey all, small question, but our provider contracts have an issue per pactflow:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'type')

but thats all we get for the error message. Does any stacktrace or line number exist for this error? Having trouble going though the provider contract to find the issue.
