Pact Foundation

Hello Team
I am using golang.
Consumer has published the contract and with branch name as master. However for provider verification, in consumer selector when I use MainBranch:true, it doesn't fetch any contract. Only when I change the parameter in selector as Branch: "master" it fetches the contract. I want to use MainBranch as true to fetch this for any consumer, where it is wrong?

Can you please confirm what the Pact Broker thinks the main branch is for that application?

`curl -H"Authorization: [...]" [host]/pacticipants/:pacticipant jq .mainBranch`

Are you using PactFlow or the Pact Broker?

So we need to configure this for consumer explicitly? I read in documentation that either main, master or develop anything will work by default

you can update the main branch using the CLI:

```pact-broker help create-or-update-pacticipant                                                                                                                                                                     &lt;aws:pactflow-dev-admin&gt;
Usage:
  pact-broker create-or-update-pacticipant --name=NAME -b, --broker-base-url=BROKER_BASE_URL

Options:
      --name=NAME                                    # Pacticipant name
      [--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME]                  # Display name
      [--main-branch=MAIN_BRANCH]                    # The main development branch of the pacticipant repository
      [--repository-url=REPOSITORY_URL]              # The repository URL of the pacticipant
  -o, [--output=OUTPUT]                              # json or text
                                                     # Default: text
  -b, --broker-base-url=BROKER_BASE_URL              # The base URL of the Pact Broker
  -u, [--broker-username=BROKER_USERNAME]            # Pact Broker basic auth username
  -p, [--broker-password=BROKER_PASSWORD]            # Pact Broker basic auth password
  -k, [--broker-token=BROKER_TOKEN]                  # Pact Broker bearer token
  -v, [--verbose], [--no-verbose], [--skip-verbose]  # Verbose output.
                                                     # Default: false

Create or update pacticipant by name```

I believe it gets detected on first publish, and uses the branch associated with that

is it possible the first publish didn’t have a branch?

may be it didn't have. But for provider side, it should still fetch either main/master/develop? Is my understanding not correct here?

no, it only fetches the main branch - which is that property set on the application

if the main branch property changes on the application, the pacts that get fetched by the provider will adjust accordingly
