Pact Foundation

hi guys if a create a RequestReponseObject and want to use it to create pact contract json

Hi Ajay!

Can you please add a bit more detail to your question?

Are you asking _how_ to write a pact test in Java or something else?

Just in case, here are some helpful getting started resources (examples/tutorials etc.) :point_down: (howtolearn)

Here are a number of useful hands-on labs that teach all of the key concepts: <https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/workshops> and <https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/workshops>

i just want to create a pact json from RequestResponsePact object

iknow how to do it inside a consumer test with @pact method

but i want to automate the process and create pacts for multiple endpoints

What do you mean by automate the process?

by automating i mean instead of writing test cases for each endpoint and creating pact i want to do it programmetically

Or perhaps asked alternatively, why do you think that's a good idea?

i want to save time writing all these tests

i have api endpoints and expexted response

But the tests _are_ the valuable thing. How will you ensure the contract is valid?

But if the contract isn't valid, then those tests are also useless and you might as well use a different tool. How will you ensure the contract itself is valid if you skip writing the tests?

If you have these and don't want/need to consider what the consumer does, then you're probably better off using a number of other functional API testing tools. Probably unit testing on the provider side is all that is required.

Pact is about ensuring each consumer's needs are taken into consideration. What you're suggesting (I think) removes the consumer from the equation

I'm trying to get you to convince me it's a good idea, basically :wink:
