i am using
Copy code
testImplementation('au.com.dius.pact.consumer:junit5:4.3.6')

Which tutorial buddy? Could you provide the link? Assume you are using it out the box? What version Java are you running?
a
y
Have you updated the dependencies yourself?
a
yes i did, since i see thats the newest master release
btw 4.1.7 is working for me
y
The message suggests there is no such method,
So that code isn't compatible, and would need to be updated as such. We would need to update through the steps, happy for you to raise an issue on the gh repo, will be taking a look through all our workshops over the next week or so, so will pick this up. We need to update through all the steps as well. If you find the correct code for the version update, would be grateful if you want to contribute back ✌🏽
Changelog would probably be my port of reference, they will be on the docs site and in the pact-jvm repo ✌🏽
a
surething, thank you for the information , i see the the exp was generated from
ExpressionParser
that a class exists in 4.0.9 jvm-support package and i assume its compatibility with 4.3.x is causing the issue.
i tried upgrading jvm-support to 4.0.10 and it didnt work either.
y
I would probably say if you are new to Pact, don't both upgrading anything, and just work your way through the examples, especially as each step will take you into a new git branch, you would lose the upgrade changes you have previously done. Once you get familiar you can get stuck into the Pact codebase, if thats your bag, sounds like you are an eagle eye in the docs.
Also curious to know how you found the workshop and Pact if you don't mind sharing 🙂
a
gotcha,
i was exploring contract testing and i came across a relatively old article/tutorial posted on Baeldung : https://www.baeldung.com/pact-junit-consumer-driven-contracts lol
y
I like that article, short and snappy! I tend to yammer on in my posts. If you fancy some further resources https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/examples#demos (you can sort the table by language if you want to find all the Java ones) Our Pactflow University https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/workshops and some external courses from Testing Automation University and Udemy https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/workshops#courses I'm looking to pull together a list of all the many blogs and posts I've seen about Pact in the wild, as there is some gold content out there, and it saves me having to write a load 😅
a
sweet, thanks for sharing these resources !
