Hi all, We are using pacts as part of our project, and we are using 4.0.10 version in pact . It was working earlier fine but now we are failing issue while running the provider tests. Can someone pls help us here. Is this a known issue and is the fix available? We are getting initialisation error as stated below is the error log:

Looks like a question for #C9UN99H24

What's the consumer (contract) version number for the contract(s) you're trying to verify? It looks like Pact has some trouble parsing the semantic version (semver)

We are using version 4.0.10 for pact. Is that what you are asking for @Bas Dijkstra

No, I meant the consumer app version associated with the contract

I see this present as following in our build.gradle: file

pact {
  publish {
    version = "1.0"
  }

Is this what you are referring to?

Yes, I think it’s expecting a proper semver, for example

1.0.0

, could you try that instead?

Okay , will try to do that. Thanks!

Let us know how you go, thanks for the tip Bas

The error was with the version uploaded by consumer actually they changed the version for the pact that ewas having major , minor version but not the patch version hence we were getting this error.

Thank you for letting us know!

Thanks for letting us know. Btw this version is very very old, I highly recommend upgrading to something newer and supported

Sure, will do the update .
