hey, we seem to have a contract comparison in pactflow stuck on the comparison execution, is there a way to force it to stop?

No I don’t think so.

Are you determining this via the output from `can-i-deploy` or some other way?

yeah the output, also looking at the UI, and it seems to be constantly stuck on evaluation. Just started work so gonna double check again!

its constantly asking to poll for a result, but there's a default retry set up already :melting_face:

<@U0734NNTWCT> can a result/comparison get “stuck”? What happens if the comparison process terminates mid comparison?

```The cross contract comparison between the pact for version 58910abd6de2f2f0b7cb9ab6ce1fb48553200a1d-487 of bank-data-swiftref and the oas for the version of SWIFTRefAPI currently in demo (4.0.0a) is currently being executed. Enable polling for the can-i-deploy command to retry until all results are available. See <https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/cid-polling-bdc> for details.```
had this stuck for a looong time, it's also seemingly overwritten with a different version if calling a can-i-deploy with a different version of the contract, but it never finishes and always returns this response. Is there an "error" response for a comparison, ie not a failure but an error while comparing?

feels like maybe something somewhere is incorrect with the contracts, but I've not seen any "error" responses before

still seeing the issue this morning, should I put in a ticket somewhere for a potential bug? for now we've disabled pact on the affected repos

Argh! Yes please, that will ensure it gets more eyeballs and we can dive into the specifics.
