Hi everyone, what guidance can you give about using

can-i-merge

with monorepos, where that monorepo contains consumers and providers, and each consumer & provider has its own build pipeline? Our usual pattern is for work to be done on both ends out of the one branch. The problem comes when we run

can-i-merge

on the the answer is always no because the provider work (part of the same branch) is not yet merged to the main branch.

Not sure of the best answer, but we perhaps could update our docs as we’re seeing more questions on monorepos these days

yes, I meant consumer, coffee hadn't kicked in by the time I posted the message

hmm is the consumer and provider deployed anywhere on the pr? maybe an ephemeral env? you could maybe create an env for the pr run verification with consumer version selectors against matching branch and triggers by webhook or whatever when the consumer pact is changed. record deployment of provider run consumer can i deploy to the pr env? just sound boarding here

> consumer and provider deployed anywhere on the pr? No, deployment happens after merge. > create an env for the pr...run consumer can i deploy to the pr env? That could work, but it appears the pact broker should already know that the branch is compatible with itself and I'd like to avoid adding extra complexity (pact envs). We have the

contract-requiring-verification-published

broker webhook setup and run can-i-merge with the

retry-while-unknown

flags. Is there an endpoint on the broker I can call/curl to get compatibility results for a consumer & producer pair for a particular version or branch? (apologies if you've already documented this). If this exists then I could alternatively check that the PR works against main or that the PR works against itself.

re the first question, you can follow the HAL links
