So, some more info, I tried following the instructions in the description for the

pact-broker create-or-update-webhook

command, where it suggested I write a curl command and then change it from

curl

to

pact-broker create-or-update-webhook

and I did, this worked to kick off my jenkins job:

curl \
    "http://$JENKINS_BASE_URL/job/Pact%20Verify%20Provider/buildWithParameters" \
    -X POST \
    -u "$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" \
    -d project=\${pactbroker.providerName} \
    -d version=\${pactbroker.providerVersionNumber} \
    -d pactfile_url=\${pactbroker.pactUrl}

but when I change it to this:

pact-broker create-or-update-webhook \
    "http://$JENKINS_BASE_URL/job/Pact%20Verify%20Provider/buildWithParameters" \
    -X POST \
    -u "$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" \
    -d project=\${pactbroker.providerName} \
    -d version=\${pactbroker.providerVersionNumber} \
    -d pactfile_url=\${pactbroker.pactUrl} \
    --contract-requiring-verification-published \
    --broker-base-url "$PACT_BROKER_URL" \
    --description 'Automatically trigger pact verification on contract change.' \
    --uuid "$PROVIDER_VERIFICATION_WEBHOOK_UUID"

I get the exact same error:

ERROR: "pact-broker create_or_update_webhook" was called with arguments ["<http://jenkins-base-url/job/Pact%20Verify%20Provider/buildWithParameters>", "version=${pactbroker.providerVersionNumber}", "pactfile_url=${pactbroker.pactUrl}"]
Usage: "pact-broker create-or-update-webhook URL --uuid=UUID -X, --request=METHOD -b, --broker-base-url=BROKER_BASE_URL"

Very perplexing 😕

I don’t think

-d

is a repeated flag for the

create-or-update-webhook

command

Okay, that's a good tip. It is for curl, so I assumed it would translate

How’d you go?

Still prototyping my whole pipeline, so I just created the webhook via a curl post and side-stepped this issue for now (my original intention was to create it via the cli app using the create-or-update-webhook command in source control so if anyone edits it there and checks it in, it automatically updates in the pact-broker, but that's a stretch-goal now)
