Do you have some example or guideline on how to handle a

DELETE

request from both consumer and provider side?

Looking across the pact-foundation, there is an example in this project https://github.com/pactflow/example-siren/blob/24fabae041bb454c9c75726ea7cae5cec4b7632c/consumer/src/__tests__/delete-order.spec.js#L95-L102 https://github.com/pactflow/example-siren We recently had a contributor reboot the example and add a couple of others, current WIP https://github.com/pactflow/example-siren/pull/1 might be worth a quick 👀

There is nothing in the provider, we want to test the

DELETE

request in an idempotent way, so me need a way to provide the resource id from the consumer or send it back from the provider

can you provide a quick sample of the endpoint you are trying to hit? or what you have tried so far, and I can have a nose. just had a look at the project in more detail and there is no provider test code, another one for the list!

Do you have some example or guideline on how to handle a

DELETE

request from both consumer and provider side?

why is this any different to to other requests? You would just have a state that says something like “A user with ID 1234” exists for the delete use case, and the provider would ensure that such a user exists before the tests run

Am I correct to assume the mock consumer send the request during the

Execute Provider Test

step from the Lifecycle of a provider verification diagram?

Yep!
