Hello, I have just signed up for pactflow and created an account. Now I would like to publish the pact file generated by the consumer to my pactflow account. I have the authentication token with me. My question is how to publish the pact file to pactflow.io on Windows/.Net core. I have seen this example, however this is not working. any ideas on this?

$Headers = @{

Authorization = "Basic $([System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("dXfltyFMgNOFZAxr8io9wJ37iUpY42M:O5AIZWxelWbLvqMd8PkAVycBJh2Psyg1")))" } $res = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://test.pactflow.io/pacts/provider/Animal%20Profile%20Service/consumer/Matching%20Service/version/1.0.0" -Headers $Headers -Method Put -InFile .\matching_service-animal_profile_service.json -ContentType "application/json"

The advice is to use https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/cli. I don’t believe any official docs still point to a manual powershell publish.

thanks Matt. The links on the above page pointed me to Pact ruby standalone executable at https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-ruby-standalone/releases. I did download pact-1.89.02-rc1-win32 zip, unzipped into local folder. Tried to run pactflow.bat from bin folder command prompt with this:

pactflow publish-provider-contract C:\pact-workshop-dotnet-core-v3\pacts\ApiClient-ProductService.json --broker-token=myAuthenticationtoken --broker-base-url=<https://mydomain.pactflow.io> --provider ProductService --provider-app-version 1.0 --branch main --content-type application/json  --verification-exit-code=0

hmm you shouldn’t need to install custom certificates - it should work out of the box

Please find the logs:

that’s great news. Now to isolate your corporate environment issue: 1. There are likely two paths to success. 1 set or unset the

http_proxy

and

https_proxy

environment variables. If you don’t know what these are, find somebody in your organisation that does. They’ll be able to advise what to do with them. If not this, you’ll need to get a copy of the intermediate proxy SSL certificate and get that into your trust store (the docs above you linked are the right ones). This is unlikely the problem though, so start with the env vars 2. You don’t publish the consumer with your provider contract - each of your consumers publish contracts, and when they do, there will be an integration in the left nav for each consumer that says

ProductService

is a provider

thanks Matt . I will check with IT support team on proxy environment variables. And just be clear on point 2), you said each of my consumer should publish the contract. How do I do this through pactflow?

Read the docs 😉

checking...
