Pact Foundation

Hi. Is it considered best practice to use a dynamic date for includeWipPactsSince? The documentation only shows examples with static dates like "2020-10-31". But will it be a problem say a year from now? That it could fetch WIP pacts since that date. Rather, is it better to just configure it as something like new Date().minusDays(7) for WIP pacts within a week.

In the past, the advice was not to make it dynamic. But that advice may have changed, let me find out

so talking to the team, if you have a good idea of how old you expect your branches to be dynamic is fine (e.g. if most branches are finished within 2 weeks then that’s the window you can work with)

Ok thanks. I'm guessing the reason for why you might not want it to be dynamic is that it can leave out real WIP pacts that someone hasn't finished yet?
