Hi all! I'm having an issue getting the provided consumer test running against the example client (provided as a reference implementation). Specifically,

provider.getUrl()

is returning

null

, which in turn causes the test to fail before the

ConsumerClient

is even invoked. I have it set up the test and example its own repo here. The full error message I'm getting follows:

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------

Awesome, thanks for creating a repro - this is very helpful.

No idea, if you check the debug logs, maybe there is an error from one of your other dependencies that is stopping the test from being setup correctly.

@Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go) sorry for the confusion... here's a branch with the actual example from pact-jvm with minimal changes to imports. @rholshausen thanks for the tip! We ended up finding a version combo that worked for us so we didn't pursue the investigation any further. Thanks y'all for the help!
