it('accepts a valid dog', () => {
      return messagePact
        .given('a dog named drover')
        .expectsToReceive('a request for a dog')
        .withContent({
          id: like(1),
          name: like('drover'),
          type: term({
            generate: 'bulldog',
            matcher: '^(bulldog|sheepdog)$',
          }),
        })
        .withMetadata({
          queue: like('animals'),
        })
        .verify(synchronousBodyHandler(dogApiHandler));
    });

In this example, we have the

withContent

and

verify

property. What is the different between them? Did they both check the data we received from the producer?

withContent

sets up the mock data

verify

takes the user defined function (in this case, the

dogApiHandler

), passes it the contents of

withContent

(with matchers and other stuff removed) and checks that it doesn’t error/throw.

ohhh, so when we published this pact "contract" to pact broker, the provider must give the data that passed our test, right?

Bingo!

thanks mate

haha
