Hello 👋 I'm trying to setup provider states using the

--provider-states-setup-url

option. However, on the endpoint I configured, I'm receiving a

null

state This is what my endpoint is receiving:

Copy code

{
  "body": {
    "consumer": "ms.pact-consumer-example-for-php",
    "state": null,
    "states": [
      null
    ],
    "params": []
  }
}

Hey buddy, I don't believe pact-php supports v3.0.0 spec of the pact-specification https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-php#specifications it may be a red herring, but food for thought

🤔 Hmm so the pact-verifier functionality in pact-php https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-php#provider-verification uses the ruby standalone verifier https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-provider-verifier Looking at that readme, that should support v3 https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-provider-verifier#pact-specification-v3-provider-state-support That is part of a larger section of verification of provider states in the readme https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-provider-verifier#api-with-provider-states You could try

providerStates

with a v2 pact spec and see if that resolves it, and if so I would assume there is some work in PHP, if not it will be something else 👍

Thanks for your help @Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io),it was a spec version issue 👏 I regenerated the pact file using

2.0.0

on the consumer side, and now i'm receiving this body in my setup endpoint

Copy code

{
  "body": {
    "consumer": "ms.pact-consumer-example-for-php",
    "state": "A product with id c931b702-f48a-447c-8619-80556f40e82b exists",
    "states": [
      "A product with id c931b702-f48a-447c-8619-80556f40e82b exists"
    ],
    "params": []
  }
}

I assume that I should use the

state

key instead of the

states

one ?

awesome! Aye I think based on the comment below, that states should be ignored, inferring use

state

👍

Ignore the
states
array that you will see if you happen to print out the live provider state set up request body

Good luck in your pact Journey buddy!
