Hello. I'm trying out pact for the first time and I can't seem to get a basic example working. I am getting:

PhpPact\Standalone\Exception\HealthCheckFailedException: Failed to make connection to Mock Server in 100 attempts

Here is my test setup:

private \PhpPact\Standalone\MockService\MockServer $mockServer;

    private \PhpPact\Standalone\MockService\MockServerEnvConfig $config;

    public function setUp(): void
    {
        $this->config = new \PhpPact\Standalone\MockService\MockServerEnvConfig();
        $this->config->setCors(true);

        $this->config->setLog('file.log');

        $this->mockServer = new \PhpPact\Standalone\MockService\MockServer($this->config);
        $this->mockServer->start();
    }

    public function tearDown(): void
    {
        // Stop the Pact Mock Server
        $this->mockServer->stop();
    }

I would paste the whole test but this fails during the set-up even before I get to the test. Not sure what to try. This is running locally on PHP 8.2 but also fails when running on PHP 8.1 via a docker container. Is there something obvious (probably) I am missing here? Here is my phpunit.xml

Hey Mike, What os/arch are you running on, and what docker image have you tried? If you drop into the pact-php repo and do

composer install

/

composer test

does that run for you?

Hey @Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io). I can run composer test locally (osx). I get a timeout eventually:

test [--dev] [--no-dev] [--] [<args>...]

which docker image? is it alpine based at all?

Thanks 🙂 I ran the above using the official composer image: https://hub.docker.com/_/composer

So looking at the tags it looks like an alpine base image you’ll need some extra dependencies to run pact-php due to the ruby runtime requiring glibc https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-php/issues/314#issuecomment-1572288435 https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-ruby-standalone/wiki/Using-the-pact-ruby-standalone-with-Alpine-Linux-Docker https://docs.pact.io/docker#running-pact-on-docker

Ah, yes. This has worked! Thank you so much 😄

@Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io) Is there anything I need to do in particular to get my output file to be a collection of interactions? At the moment, each test seems to be overwriting the previous. I thought maybe using the

<extension class="PhpPact\Consumer\Listener\PactTestListener">

in my phpunit.xml but that doesn't seem to work with my version of phpunit (9.5.28). At the end of each test should I be calling $builder->writePact() or finalize() or neither? I'm not using pact-broker just yet. I am building up to that. I'm still just trying to get a poc working here.

was about to mention that and great, starting a poc without the broker is a great first step 👍
