Hi According to the documentation of this method -> https://docs.rs/pact_ffi/latest/pact_ffi/verifier/fn.pactffi_verifier_add_provider_transport.html, if i set the protocol to “message”, it will pick up only the message pacts right? Or will the verification also pick up http pacts as well for that provider ?

That is not a filter, it will try verify all pacts that are provided via a source. Depending on what interactions are found, it will use the configured transports to determine how to verify them.

oh, and so there isn’t any functionality to specify to the source and eventually to the verifier that “run verification for http pacts only” ?

No, but there is filtering for consumer or provider name, description, or provider states. If the message interaction has a distinct description or provider state, you can filter on that.

ok got it, thanks for the quick replies @rholshausen!! Also i had one more question, what is the protocol here then (message vs http). If i set the `protocol=message`and keep the

scheme=http

, what is the meaning of these two terms when i am verifying a message pact

Message interactions still use HTTP, but that allows you to specify a different port. With some of the language implementations, HTTP interactions go to the providers port, and message interactions go to a proxy on a different port.

thanks a lot, i think this clears a lot of things for me
