Hi All, I am trying to integrate pact_verifier_cli tool in github workflow (Uses docker container) and during verification am facing this issue. Any ideas?

2024-03-27T16:38:20.846579Z  INFO main pact_verifier: Pact file requires plugins, will load those now
2024-03-27T16:38:20.846804Z  WARN tokio-runtime-worker pact_plugin_driver::metrics:

When I run locally everything works fine. Here are version I am using

pact verifier version   : v0.10.4
pact specification      : v4.0
models version          : v1.0.9

do you have the plugin installed locally and not in your container. the version of the cli is old. the latest should auto install plugins if required and known. which plugin are you trying to use?

@Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io): Running locally works fine. The issue is when running in github workflow in server (which uses docker container). The plugins are installed in properly in container in “~/.pact/plugins/“. We use custom rust plugin (to add support for websockets).

does your plugin actually run in the container? the message is suggesting pact tried to start but failed to do so.

Thanks for the pointers. Let me debug…
