Cross Posting https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/C5F4KFKR8/p1658299715045689 Do we have some good documentation around using Pact for writing contract tests for gRPC services ? Wondering if there are explained examples , before I try out things myself

Hey, See https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/CEQBDD5U4/p1652055827960579 for current details and links to the relevant docs/examples
thank you 1

What language support do you need? Pact JVM and Go have support as of today
j
Pact-Go is what I am looking for , I am glad that the support exists 🙂 I see that the current support is kind of a tech preview , when do we plan to take this GA
m
It’s pretty close to GA. Mostly I’m actively seeking user feedback on the API from real world usage. So it’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. I don’t expect the API to change significantly, but there might be a few name changes to cleanup
Also, I think the verifier will unify into a single one - currently we have different ones for HTTP, Message and Plugins - but in V4 you can have multiple - so it makes sense to combine into a single one. But that can potentially be managed in other ways

Sure , thanks @Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go) for the insights. I am still trying to convince myself if we really need contract tests for grpc interactions . I did go through this nice article https://pactflow.io/blog/the-case-for-contract-testing-protobufs-grpc-avro/ Hence looking forward to atleast give this a try , it will be hard time convincing dev if I am not convinced myself
