05/17/2022, 12:53 AMHi all. Does Pact consumer supersede pact-jvm-consumer-junit?
Edit - More specifically, the new Lambda DSL supposedly does supersede pact-jvm-consumer-junit if I understood the docs correctly. if it does, I can’t find a maven repository for io.pactfoundation.

05/17/2022, 1:07 AMThese are different things, one provides support for using JUnit to write Pact tests, the other for building JSON payloads in Java.

05/17/2022, 1:07 AMIf you write JUnit Pact tests using JSON payloads in Java, you need both

05/17/2022, 1:09 AMThanks for the prompt reply. How come we need both when pact-jvm-consumer-unit ships with a DSL too? E.g.:
Copy code
import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.DslPart;
import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.PactDslJsonArray;
import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.PactDslJsonBody;
import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.PactDslWithProvider;r

05/17/2022, 1:10 AMThat is the older support which does not use lambda functions. But it works.

05/17/2022, 1:11 AMRight, thanks for clarifying that.. how exactly does one get their hands on the new Lamba DSL?

05/17/2022, 1:12 AMIf you included the Pact JUnit jar, it will be available on your classpath (transitive dependency)

05/17/2022, 1:12 AMIf you have dependency issues, then also include the consumer jar

05/17/2022, 1:12 AMIs this available only after 4.3.x? I’ve already got
testImplementation 'au.com.dius.pact.consumer:junit:4.2.20'r
rholshausen
05/17/2022, 1:13 AMNo, it has been available for a long time

05/17/2022, 1:14 AMWeird, because:

05/17/2022, 1:15 AMAh! the examples are wrong. The package is

05/17/2022, 1:15 AMAh, the docs need updating.
Copy code
au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.LambdaDsl.newJsonArray;Akash
05/17/2022, 1:19 AMI reckon it’d be really helpful to clarify on the jUnit page(s) that the older DSL is deprecated in favour of the lambda DSL. I didn’t look into the new DSL’s page (which looks much more clean) until we started running into issues 😭

05/17/2022, 1:23 AMIt's not deprecated, the newer one just wraps the older one and allows the use of lambda functions

Akash
05/17/2022, 1:26 AMRight. I’m yet to try the new DSL, I wonder if that’d fix my issue, although nothing seems wrong at the Pact generation side. Perhaps it’s the provider…
