Just an FYI that Pactman is not an officially supported Pact client library. I think a few people use it in here 😛

Are you following some guide or something? They are two completely different packages, so I’m not surprised it wouldn’t work in both. Perhaps if you can go back a step and share what you’re doing that would help

Yeah I will check with senior the one who is familiar with that framework and get back, Thanks Matt 🙂

There are a few example projects about, including the one in the pact-python project itself - i’d start there

P.S. it’s “Pact” not “PACT” 🙂

Can I get any link I can refer where we are using pact-python for example projects ?

Hey Matt !! Needed your help in getting confirmation on is Pact python is the library which is replacing Pactman ?

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:07 AM

No, pact-python has always been the official lib

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:08 AM

Pactman is not, and has not been an official lib

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:08 AM

(that’s not to say it wasn’t a good library or anything!)

Pooja Kunder

06/07/2022, 10:23 AM

So can we use Pactman still ?

Pooja Kunder

06/07/2022, 10:24 AM

or should we replace it with official libraries ?

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:24 AM

I would suggest you don’t. It’s not supported by Pact and it’s not supported by its previous author/maintainer

okay...So now if I wanna use the packages I was importing earlier from Pactman for eg like below, How can I get the same from pact python ?

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:27 AM

You can’t just convert pactman to pact-python. They are different libraries.

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:27 AM

I’d suggest going to the Pact Python project and starting from their examples/docs

Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)

06/07/2022, 10:27 AM

also docs.pact.io

Pooja Kunder

06/07/2022, 10:27 AM
