Hey 👋 Is anyone here aware of the status of plugins for pact ruby? I don't see it on the roadmap https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-ruby/blob/master/ROADMAP.md and we have a use case for pact that would require us to be able to use plugins from ruby.

Hi, It isn't currently on the roadmap (mainly due to maintainer capacity, rather than a lack of wanting to support it) but it is possible to write your own lanaguage implementation, by utilising the pact-reference core (written in rust) - https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/blob/master/rust/pact_ffi/README.md exposed via an FFI (c shared libraries) There are simple implementation examples in a few languages in the repo • https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/tree/master/javascript • https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/tree/master/php • https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/tree/master/ruby I created my own examples a little while back https://github.com/YOU54F/pact-ruby-ffi/blob/main/examples/area_calculator/spec/pactffi_create_plugin_pact_spec.rb https://github.com/YOU54F/pact-ruby-ffi/blob/main/lib/pact_ruby_ffi.rb Maybe you could use that as a source of inspiration to at least get you moving, and share it back with the community

Awesome - thanks for the link, will see if we would be willing to go that route.
