Hey there 👋 I’m having a bit of trouble getting the

pactVerify

Gradle command to run for my message provider - it doesn’t seem to be able to find the methods I’ve annotated even though it should be on the test classpath I’ve commented out the

packagesToScan

section in my Gradle and it still can’t find it, it just gives me an error:

No annotated methods were found for interaction 'message.interaction.name'. You need to provide a method annotated with @PactVerifyProvider("message.interaction.name") on the classpath that returns the message contents.

I have a method annotated correctly in my test directory (the test runs and passes if I run it using JUnit):

@PactVerifyProvider("message.interaction.name")
public String verifyInteraction() {
    ...
}

My build.gradle currently looks like this:

pact {
    broker {
        pactBrokerUrl = "$System.env.PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL"
        pactBrokerToken = "$System.env.PACT_BROKER_TOKEN"
    }

    serviceProviders {
        providerName {
            verificationType = 'ANNOTATED_METHOD'
            //  packagesToScan = ['*']
            hasPactsFromPactBroker("$System.env.PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL", authentication: ['Bearer', "$System.env.PACT_BROKER_TOKEN"])
        }
    }
}

If you’ve any suggestions on what I could try in order to sort this I’d really appreciate it - thanks 😄

You could set

packagesToScan

to tell it where your test is

I tried that originally, then took it out as apparently that should scan the full classpath so thought it might have better success

Hm. Looks right to me, but it has been a while since I worked with the JVM.

Thanks for checking, at least I don’t seem to be missing something obvious 👍

What is the package that

ProviderMessageTest

is in? That is what you should set

packagesToScan

to. Where does this test class sit, is it in another module? What JDK are you using?

I’m fairly new to Gradle so apologies if my answers aren’t exactly what you’re looking for The repo I’m working with has two projects inside (

provider_service

and

provider_service_api

, the service is the provider), each with their own

build.gradle

, the Gradle snippet I shared is from the repo’s root

build.gradle

Its package is

com.company.providername.pact

, which is what I had originally set it to The test file is in

provider_service/src/test/unit/java/com/company/providername/pact/

My JDK seems to be set to 17

Ok, that will explain why the class is not found. You need to add the

provider_service

to the build classpath of the root Gradle project. When the Gradle plugin runs, it uses the build classpath to load classes, not the project compile or test classpaths.

Ok cool thanks for that 😄 I’ll try and update the Gradle then see if I can get it working I was originally using JUnit but it seemed to require adding the broker auth token to every test class (which we’d like to keep secured), and I wasn’t having any luck getting it to pick up system properties I’ll try again as it definitely worked though
