We don’t actually capture and store that in PactFlow, although I can see why that would be valuable.

It is shown at DEBUG level though, I believe

Usually when I see this, it’s a provider state not being setup correct and a 404 or endpoint is being hit that wasn’t expected by the provider

But that’s just a first pointer

I think the point above is a good one though. I think their is likely a feature request for it, I’ll add your vote to it

If you could please cast your vote here also: https://pact.canny.io/feature-requests/p/cache-provider-contract-on-pact-broker
We have an internal tracking one for PactFlow too

.verifyPacts((req, res) => {console.log(req.body)})thankyou 1
