Hi, Can I reify protobuf message (async message) like a normal message? I expect to able to get message object without any matching and pass it to a callback/handler.

Yes

I dont see

reify

method in these examples https://github.com/pactflow/pact-protobuf-plugin#protocol-buffer-message-consumer

There is a way to get it Tien, when I'm at my computer I'll check. There is a message iterator you can use to get the raw btye array, which you can use to pass it back on to the test without matchers etc

Never mind. I think I went to the wrong direction. After adding

debug!

and compiling

rust_ffi

I think

assume you can

from Timothy is the correct answer for now. I got an error before I can confirm. I will ask in another thread.

So yes, you can get them via the message iterator, i.e. these messages

pactffi_pact_handle_get_message_iter
pactffi_pact_message_iter_next
pactffi_message_get_contents_length
pactffi_message_get_contents_bin

I don't need to call those ffi methods. I just need to call

pactffi_message_reify

. The reason it doesn't work before is I went to the wrong direction (typo in pact:proto, missing content type

application/protobuf

, wrong matching format...)

on wow, that returns back the byte array? I thought I tried that and it didn’t work. that’s MUCH easier 😆

It return json like this https://github.com/tienvx/pact-php-protobuf/blob/main/example/async-message/broker/pacts/protobufMessageConsumer-protobufMessageProvider.json#L7 All I need to do is

base64_decode

and merge to object then pass to callback
