Hey guys, I’m running into a basic issue while running provider side tests in the CI I’m using pact-go and using pact-ruby-standalone in my local machine. However, while running the tests in ci, it returns -

exec: "pact-provider-verifier": executable file not found in $PATH

Do I need to run

pactfoundation/pact-cli:latest

as part of my application container before running the pact test?

No, you need the CLO tools installed on your CI also

Thanks Matt for the response I’m a bit lost, do we have any example? :) We are using GitHub actions

Hey got an example I made for another member recently https://github.com/YOU54F/go-pact-test

You need to install the CLI dependencies for Pact Go 1.x.x to work. In the Pact Go project, we use a make target to do this • https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/blob/master/Makefile#L32 (installs into the relative

pact

folder) • We also add that

pact

folder to the

PATH

environment variable during the build so that it is available to the runtime: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/blob/master/make/config.mk#L1 If you’re using 2.x.x, you don’t need to install these for the tests to run (i.e. Pact go won’t use them), but you probably want them installed anyway to publish pact files etc.
