Pact Foundation

Hello, Happy New Year!
Is there way to link the broker to the pipeline/job that gave publish a result ?

I only have small experience with Pact, but I would say yes. You need to have in the pipeline a stage where the Can-I-Deploy runs. You can configure a retry mechanism for the Can-I-Deploy (e.g.: --retry-while-unknown=60 --retry-interval=10) against the broker, to be sure that the results were published in the broker by the provider

You can set the `buildUrl` when posting verification results, which would store that property to the build

Could you clarify a little more on your use case?

I have used slack notifications and webhooks to report to a particular CI's build logs for publishing of pacts too

<@U047C9B3ND8>'s method is very good for cases where the consumer publishes a pact which hasn't been verified by the provider.

• webhook fires which triggers provider ci build
• consumer polls for provider ci result
• consumer can deploy if result is successful or fails if no result or failed verification
Really neat way for CI/CD

Yeah, I read this as “I’d like a link to the build job from the pact broker”.

This is the way to do it, albeit I can’t recall if it’s visible from the UI

That's what I want, so we can navigate from broker to our gitlab more easily

For reference, one should search for either `buildUrl`  but `--build-url` in the docs (e.g. <https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact_broker-client|pact_broker-client>)
```      [--build-url=BUILD_URL]
              # The build URL that created the pact ```

<@U040TFR9849> could you add a card somewhere for displaying the build URL in the new UI designs please?
