hi guys, I want to try using Pactflow, I have updated provider tests configuration (host, scheme and token) but now test fails with the following errors:

ERROR [15:45:47] [main] a.c.d.p.c.p.HalClient          Failed to fetch the root HAL document
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
	at java.base/sun.security.ssl.Alert.createSSLException(Alert.java:131)
...

is there a way to fix this (on my laptop and during CI build) ?

Hey, Have you specified a custom trust store?

ok, thank you, I also found this article https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/unable-to-connect-to-ssl-services-due-to-pkix-path-building-failed-error-779355358.html it looks like overkill to me, I do not have any custom trust store. I had something similar with RestAssured and it was possible to fix with 1 config line

useRelaxedHTTPSValidation

ok, I should read those links, maybe it is not such an overhead as it looks like

You can easily disable by setting insecureSSL https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/jvm/provider/gradle#enabling-insecure-ssl

wow, that’s what I want, thank you!:)

always read the manual 😅 don't worry I go blind too

I see that the documents are about provider tests, but I get this error when pact is trying to connect to pactflow instance

I got that error only in conjunction with missing or bad credentials from pactflow.io side. You are sending the token right?

yes, env variable is set and I use it in the test:

authentication = @PactBrokerAuth(token = "${PACT_BROKER_TOKEN}"

but PACT_BROKER_HOST was wrong - my local pact broker instead of pactflow, now it works, thanks for help!

Excellent @Pavlo Sprogis, glad you are rocking now and thanks for the support @Stefano Lucka ! 🙌 mental note made for dx improvements!
