How do I write PACT contract for { 'idList": [5, 6] } where idList could vary in size I tried

DslPart requestBody = LambdaDsl.newJsonBody((o) -> {
  o.array("idList", (arr)-> {
     arr.numberType(6);
});

This would work if I am passing only one value. If more than value need to be in the list then I have to add something like this...

arr.numberType(6).numberType(7);

How can this be made generalized (like minArrayLike) so that one or more could be passed and contract is still valid

Is this not what you want https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/jvm/consumer#ensuring-all-items-in-a-list-match-an-example ?

nope. When I use minArrayLike I get array of an array whereas i need just an array. Also each array is an jsonObj requiring key(name). In my case I just have list of values.

That doesn’t sound write to me

I think

eachLike

,

minArrayLike

and

maxArrayLike

open a new object, so you can't use them for primitive types.

yes, that's the problem. I was just showing Matt that I can't just add values only.

Yeah, it's just that calling it

arr

gives you misleading DSL expectations 🙂

I am looking for a generalized way to write contract for { 'idList": [5, 6] } where the list size could vary

Off the top of my head, I have no idea what the Java DSL has for matching arrays by primitive type. (Using both Java and the old DSL also won't be helping discoverability, but that's a little beside the point.)

I could do this

o.minArrayLike("categoryIds", 1, PactDslJsonRootValue.numberType(7), 2);

But this would pass [7,7] to provider. Is there a way to specify actual Ids that I would like to pass to provider.

Your original example does that, I think?

arr.numberType(6).numberType(7);

This is what you want to use: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/blob/master/consumer/src/main/java/au/com/dius/pact/consumer/dsl/LambdaDslObject.java#L581
