Hey folks, what's the recommended way to deal with monorepos and webhooks? We have a monorepo which hosts services like my-service and other-service. Whenever a webhook triggers, we get the

my-service

as a name, but I don't think there's a way to map it to a git repo - other than using an external datastore or a service, but nothing built into pact-broker. Is that correct, or am I missing some metadata?

I must admit it’s not something I’ve spent a lot of time doing (monorepo). Perhaps you could use one of the labels variants (e.g.

${pactbroker.providerLabels})

) to add some additional mapping in the broker? You could also lookup the git repo using that name. The pacticipant resource has a

repositoryUrl

property to store this sort of thing.

Thanks! How do you set the

repositoryUrl

field when creating or updating a pacticipant?

Yeah that sounds good. Thank you both!

nice! Let us know how you go folks

Just to circle back here. We have a small microservice that accepts webhooks and triggers CI builds. Originally written to bypass some API limitations of our CI system. In there we've added a call to the broker to read the repositoryUrl from the broker once webhook is received and use that information to trigger a CI build. So it was a pretty easy change to make. One improvement would be if the webhook payload already included all the pacticipant information for both provider and the consumer, like repositoryUrl and others, but it's not a huge deal.

That should be be doable. I'll raise a feature request to flesh it out further
