Does anyone know how to generate a pact file through GH actions. I've written a yml script that runs the consumer tests to generate the pacts. The tests are passing, and it's saying pact files generated, but there's no files in my repo, does anyone know how to access the generated file? This is the script output

There are lots of examples that run on GitHub actions. In fact, probably all of the official ones do and definitely the Pact JS ones that this looks to be using

How am I supposed to push the file without the file

The file should already be on the GitHub servers you should be publishing from

Usually when it's ran locally, the file appears in the pacts/ dir

Do you mean it isn't being commited to the repo by the GH action? [I'm not sure you'd want that anyway]

No I don't want that, I want to push it to my broker

So the file should be in the same relative path that it is locally, just on the remote GH file system.

riiiiiggght, makes sense, let me try now

Hang on, do you actually "need" that file? [vs your Pact tests submitting]

I need to push the file to my pact broker, I don't "need" it, as in to open it or look at it

ok

Im not using pactflow as my broker, so I have to manually push it

If you see the log output you shared above, the exact path is logged in the output

I might be misunderstanding something here, apologies if so https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-workshop-js/#publish-contracts-from-consumer

Also, it doesn't need to be committed in your repo, it just needs to be available in the build step runtime.
