Pact Foundation

Hi team,
I’m trying to write some pact test in Swift and I can’t find where the pact file is generated.
I can see the test has failed (which I expected) but I expected to see some pact json file somewhere.
```failed - Failed to verify Pact! Actual request does not match expected interactions...

Reason:
	Missing request

Expected:
	GET /products```


I tried setting the PACT_OUTPUT_DIR without much success (not sure where I’m setting it and what I’m supposed to set it to)
and also tried setting it in the property of MockService without much success either.

I also see this popup continuously every time I run the test despite me clicking the Allow every time. It makes me think something is not setup properly.

if the test fails it won’t create a pact file

so… how do I make the test pass? is it related to the network connection prompt?

maybe I’m not understanding this correctly. Is the error message telling me the request is not being sent at all?

The error message says that you expected your app to make a `GET` request to `/products` on the pact mock server, but it did not receive one

that means your client code is not pointed at the mock server and sending the request in your unit test

Gah I found the problem. I wasn’t using the url from the mock service correctly. :zipper_mouth_face:

Now the test is passing and I can see the generated pact file :tada:

I'm running into the same issue while writing my pact test. Just curious how you went about resolving this issue?

Did your pact test suite finish successfully? <@U039EA1UUH2> if the test run fails then the file is not (over)written.

The default for iOS projects is
`/tmp/pacts`
If you set up a `PACT_OUTPUT_DIR` environment variable (in Run &gt; Arguments tab of your scheme) then it should be written in that folder. I normally set it to `$(PROJECT_DIR)/tmp/pacts`
If testing a macOS project, then pact files are written into `Documents` folder of your app's sandbox.

If testing a non-Xcode project (Linux), set the env var `PACT_OUTPUT_DIR` to where you want the file to be written.

There is also a convenience `init` on `MockService` class that allows you to pass in a `URL` of your directory. Have you tried that?

<@UH2SC65EX> It has never passed successfully, I keep getting this error:
```failed - Failed to verify Pact! Actual request does not match expected interactions...

Reason:
	Missing request

Expected:
	GET /products```
When I run the test, I see that the base url has been replaced by the mock server url so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be communicating with the pact server.

Is your API client implementation triggering the request? Can you verify/debug it?

Can you share your code so we can take a peek?
