HI 🙂 In our scenario, we have our Pact Broker with the Webhook created (with the new

contract_requiring_verification_published

event), that triggers the needed provider builds once a contract change is detected. As a parameter, it sends the URL of the pact version to verify. Also, in our JVM provider applications so far we have set the consumer version selectors in Gradle, so that the versions to verify are the latests from the main branch and the latests deployed/released. In our case using the workaround

rawjson

, given that the

@ConsumerVersionSelector

annotation didn't support branches or deployments. So my question is how do I let Pact know in my provider code that when the build has been triggered by the Broker, what I need to check is the pact version that the webhook has sent instead of the one defined in the

rawjson

property?

Use the

@AllowOverridePactUrl

annotation. See https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/blob/master/provider/junit/README.md#allowing-just-the-changed-pact-s[…]-in-a-webhook-to-be-verified-406

Oh, thank you! I missed that one 😅 So if I understand the documentation right, I need to also add

pact.filter.pacturl

and

pact.filter.consumers

the same way I'm adding the others as system properties. My guess is that the

pact.filter.consumers

will always have value (I know its value beforehand), but the

pact.filter.pacturl

will only have a proper value when an actual webhook execution has triggered that provider build. And if that property doesn't have a proper value, then a "normal" build will be executed, using the consumer selector logic that normally applies. Is that right?

No, you just need

pact.filter.pacturl

set to the webhook URL.

ahhh, so the

pact.filter.consumers

is helpful then when we have a provider that has many consumers, so that a contract change only triggers the tests of the proper consumer instead of running all the tests with that pactUrl. Makes a lot of sense 🙂
