Hi, I have this problem, when I run the verification provider tests, they seem to be setup with random ports on localhost like so: (this is what I see being executed when I run with debug')

pact-node@10.17.2: Starting pact binary '/home/repos/gf-accounts-service/node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-node/standalone/linux-x64-1.88.83/pact/bin/pact-provider-verifier', with arguments [--provider-states-setup-url <http://localhost:46091/_pactSetup> --provider-base-url <http://localhost:46091> --provider-app-version dc04a08

The ports for --provider-states-setup-url and --provider-base-url seem to be failing my TeamCity build sometimes, as some of these ports are reserved, I thought that specifying the providerBaseUrl in the provider settings sets these ports, in my case it was http://localhost:3000/ but it seems like the pact-provider-verifier spins this up with different ports as some proxy? Is there a way to specify which port to use in that pact-provider-verifier script?

The pact process spins up a local proxy to enable additional features. The ports you are seeing here are those ports (if you setup debug logging you should see more info on these)

I think I found the problem which you basically pointed me to, so thanks, seems that the state handler which was

const stateHandlers = {
      'has a account saved': async () => {
        // connect to local db and add/seed account data
        await seedTable();
        return Promise.resolve(
          'Accounts added: 9ae9b264-f181-46ea-a468-4919c48fbe0(1-5)'
        );
      }
    };

When changing to

const stateHandlers = {
      'has a account saved': () => {
        // connect to local db and add/seed account data
        return Promise.resolve(seedTable());
      }
    };

worked, so this means stateHandlers when changing to async would not work, is this intended?

hmm no

async

should work

Yeah

const seedTable = async () => {
  const account = Account.make({
    PK: 'A_' + '9ae9b264-f181-46ea-a468-4919c48fbe01',
    SK: 'V0_' + Account.RECORD_TYPE,
    emailAddress: '<mailto:random@email.com|random@email.com>',
    groupHash: '123',
    siteIdentifier: 'ss',
    idpId: 'random',
    loginCount: 0,
    loginHistory: []
  });
  await account.save();
  const accountTwo = Account.make({
    PK: 'A_' + '9ae9b264-f181-46ea-a468-4919c48fbe02',
    SK: 'V0_' + Account.RECORD_TYPE,
    emailAddress: '<mailto:random@email.com|random@email.com>',
    groupHash: '123',
    siteIdentifier: 'ss',
    idpId: 'random',
    loginCount: 0,
    loginHistory: []
  });
  await accountTwo.save();
}

and I have jest.setTimeout(9000000); so that should be enough time right
