Pact Foundation

Hi, I am exploring Pact for our reactJS to springboot/Java application.  Can someone please help me with this issue.Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':pactVerify_test_provider' (type 'PactVerificationTask').
  - In plugin '<http://au.com|au.com>.dius.pact' type '<http://au.com|au.com>.dius.pact.provider.gradle.PactVerificationTask' property 'providerToVerify' is missing an input or output annotation.

perhaps you could share your setup so that we can understand what you might have done differently?

also, what docs are you you using as a guide to setup your test?

```buildscript {
    repositories {
       mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
       classpath 'au.com.dius.pact.provider:gradle:4.1.7'

    }
}
plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.7.17'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.15.RELEASE'
    id 'au.com.dius.pact' version '4.1.7'
}
group = 'com.pact.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

java {
    sourceCompatibility = '11'
}


apply plugin: 'au.com.dius.pact'
apply plugin: 'groovy'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
    systemProperty 'pact.verifier.publishResults', 'true'
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    developmentOnly 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    testImplementation 'au.com.dius.pact.provider:junit5:4.1.7'
}

pact {

    reports {
       defaultReports()
    }
    broker {

       pactBrokerUrl = '<https://swethatest.pactflow.io/>'
       pactBrokerToken = '&lt;token ..&gt;'
    }

    serviceProviders {
       test_provider {
          fromPactBroker {

             hasPactsFromPactBroker('<https://swethatest.pactflow.io/>', authentication: ['Bearer', '&lt;token ....&gt;'])

          }
       }

    }
}```


I can see the same issue reported on the pact-jvm repo.

<https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/issues/1429>

what version of gradle are you using

<https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/issues/1429#issuecomment-913875893>

sounds like you need to update the package version of Pact to support your version of Gradle

That comment is 2 years old, ideally use that latest Pact library that supports your targeted Java version ( I see you have 11 in your file)
