Hey everyone, I found in the pact-reference repo under the ruby folder about the pact_verifier_cli and I was wondering if there are setup instructions for this tool or is it included in the normal pact docker image?

Docs for that are here: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/tree/master/rust/pact_verifier_cli You can either download the executable you need from https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/releases/tag/pact_verifier_cli-v0.10.6 or you can use the published docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/pactfoundation/pact-ref-verifier/tags

Thanks for your help. I was able to try out the executable on my project. Is there anything that writing a Provider Verification test gives you that the verifier doesn't? Like a pros and cons of using the verifier vs writing tests?

Using tests you can mock out layers of you application not needed.
