Hi. I'm trying to determine if pactflow, or any other pre-existing solution, allows for bi-directional contract testing of message based / event driven system. Is anyone aware of a solution along those lines? i.e. Similar to the bi-directional contract testing feature pactflow supports where the provider publishes an Open API spec doc, I'm looking for a solution where the components which produce the messages/events would be able to upload a contract file of what it does produce to the broker and then both consumer and producer CICD pipelines be able to use a simple 'can-i-deploy' like call to the broker which will compare the consumer and producer contract files for compatibility.

Hi Ryan, We don’t have a solution for this at this moment I’m afraid. For now, the only option I’m aware of that would be compatible with the

can-i-deploy

workflow would be to use the standard consumer-driven testing event based testing (so-called “message pact”) with Pact
