Hello Everyone 👋 , I am testing out PACT w/ pact-swift and a docker image pact-broker. I have been able to publish my pact to the pact broker and now am trying to verify the pact from the provider side of things (ruby). On the provider side I am setting up my provider states but I am having a tough time getting any gem dependencies to load, i.e. using

circumstance-1.0.0

gem to setup state for me. Do I need to do any special setup to gain access to these gems inside the provider state files? Thank you for you helpful. Excited to get this POC going.

Can you share your code @Kellie Persson?

Hello @Beth (pactflow.io/Pact Broker/pact-ruby) Thank you for the reply. I was able to get past the issue by making use of

Pact.configure do | config |
  config.include ::Circumstance::Helpers
end

in my

pact_helper.rb

file.

Great!

@Beth (pactflow.io/Pact Broker/pact-ruby), I have a followup question. It appears that

let

statements are not allowed in the provider state

set_up

do block E.g.

provider_state "default" do
    set_up do
      load_circumstance :data
    end
end

under the hood, in the

data

circumstance loads another circumstance,

Circumstance.define(:data) do
  load_circumstance :base
end

in this circumstance 😅 , the following let statement is used:

Circumstance.define(:base) do
  let(:level) { Level.find(1) }
end

it is this ⬆️

let

statement that seems to be causing the following error when trying to validate.

Failure/Error: let(:level) { Level.find(1) }

NoMethodError:
       undefined method `let' for #<Pact::Provider::State::ProviderState:0x00007f854b79c7c8>

I am a ruby novice, but I believe let can only be defined in ruby

describe

blocks. Is there any way around this error that I am seeing. I am trying to minimize the setup code by using previously defined circumstances that are used in our other RSpec tests. Thank you for any help or direction you can provide. Let me know if you need additional information.

let

is an rspec feature. You can only use plain ruby inside the provider state blocks.

Gotcha. Will look to clean things up on my end to use plain ruby. Thanks so much for your help.
