04/11/2023, 7:47 PMHey all, when using pactflow i've created a team using the dashboard. But how can I assign pacts via the javascript package to automatically be assigned a specific team? I've seen a few things online but did not get it to work. This is the version: "pact-foundation/pact": "^9.18.1".

That’s right. I believe there is a feature request somewhere where you can specify the team on publish, but I seemed to have misplaced it. I will dig it up or create a new one

This isn’t always obvious though at the point of publishing

The simplest option, is to pre-create all applications and teams, and do the assignments at that time.
e.g. using something like https://github.com/pactflow/terraform-provider-pact

We’ll also be publishing our APIs later in Q2 (possibly early Q3) so you could build around that also

I’d like to see it in our CLI tools also, but I don’t see it being part of our JS (or any other client languages) any time soon, if I’m honest

04/13/2023, 7:54 AMYou could support this server side with no changes to tools, if you treated provider names that deserialised to an object differently at the pactflow end:
Copy code
provider: JSON.stringify({ "team": "MyTeam", providerName: "MyProvider" })Timothy Jones

pactflow:team:MyTeamTimothy Jones
04/13/2023, 7:55 AMI don’t know if this is a good idea. But it’s an idea
