&gt; `consumer_version_selectors [{tag: "message", latest: true}, {mainBranch: true}]` , however it doesnt like it.
What error are your receiving?

&gt; `As of October 2021, this is not yet supported in all Pact client libraries.` what do you currently recommend for this case? Please suggest, documentation is not clear what to use correctly
What client library, and what version are you using?

this is i found from `Gemfile.lock`
`pact (1.63.0),  pact_broker-client (1.51.1)`

What is the error Dilip, we are unable to help you otherwise

We have added this line for the pact helper file `consumer_version_selectors [{tag: "message", latest: true}, {mainBranch: true}]` only difference was added `mainBranch:true` since we want to test against consumer main branch, right now it is verifying all the consumer opened branches instead `main` branch

error: `(Pact::UnrecognizePactFormatError)`

I would like if the syntax is correct to use `consumer_version_selectors [{tag: "message", latest: true}, {mainBranch: true}]`

Trying to run the consumer verification for the `tag:message` against consumer `main` branch only. Looks like `tag:message` is not working anymore and now all the tests running against `main` including `tag:REST` after i added the `{mainBranch:true}` . Wondering if the syntax was wrong?

The syntax looks okay to me

You are using pact-ruby 1.63.0 which is one version from the latest and supports consumer version selectors

You can test them directly against your browser, via the HAL browser, or API passing in the consumer version selectors, to see if that returns what you expect

Looks like it is somehow not using the tag: message when I gave the main branch:true 

Is there anyway I can configure for tag and run that tag against main branch?

Some of our main branch also called ‘master’ , wondering if we give main branch:true, it will look the branch name value as main only? Some of our consumer main branch value is master. Wondering how can we separate them to run one for master and others are from main?

The main branch is specific to each application. In application A the main branch might be `main` and for B it might be `master` . See <https://docs.pact.io/pact_broker/branches#pacticipant-main-branch-property> for more on that

&gt; (Pact::UnrecognizePactFormatError)
this error makes me think the selectors are working, but is pulling in contracts that the Ruby application cannot verify. Ruby can only verify 2.0 specification contracts, with the caveat that it _can_ do basic “pact message” testing
