Issue created by nu11try
### Software versions
• OS: macOS Sequoia 15.4 (24E5206s)
• Pact Node version: @pact-foundation/pact-node@10.18.0 @pact-foundation/pact@12.5.2
• Node Version: v20.18.1
### Expected behaviour
The pipeline is crashing
### Actual behaviour
The pipeline does not crash
### Steps to reproduce
When embedding a publication in ci/cd gitlab, there is a problem. If the publication fails, the pipeline is still considered "green" and this does not stop further steps.
I use the following code in JS
Copy code
const publisher = require('@pact-foundation/pact-node');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
const path = require('path');
const process = require('process');
dotenv.config();
const args = process.argv;
let version = '1.0.0';
args.forEach(arg => {
if (arg.includes('--version')) version = arg.split('--version=')[1];
});
const opts = {
consumerVersion: version,
pactFilesOrDirs: [path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'contract_testing/pacts')],
pactBrokerPassword: process.env.PACT_BROKER_PASSWORD,
pactBrokerUsername: process.env.PACT_BROKER_USERNAME,
pactBroker: process.env.PACT_BROKER_URL
};
publisher.publishPacts(opts) Copy code
stages:
- contract-tests
- ...
contract-tests:
stage: contract-tests
image:
name: ...
script:
- npm run test:pact
- npm run publish:pact -- --version=$CI_COMMIT_TAG
rules:
- if: $SKIP_CONTRACT_TESTS == "true"
when: never
- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG != null Copy code
publisher.publishPacts(opts)
.then(() => {
console.log('✅ Pacts successfully published');
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('❌ Publish failed:', error);
process.exit(1);
});process.exit(1);
