hi guys I try to disable the telemetry by setting the 
PACT_DO_NOT_TRACK
to true (similar to the way I am setting the 
pact.verifier.publishResults
to true which works). Unfortunately, I still get at build the message:
Copy code
Please note: we are tracking events anonymously to gather important usage statistics like JVM version and operating system. To disable tracking, set the 'pact_do_not_track' system property or environment variable to 'true'.
which makes me believe it is not working. Is there another way of writing the 
PACT_DO_NOT_TRACK
(e.g. with dots)? The Surefire looks like:
Copy code
<systemProperties>
	<property>
	    <name>pact.verifier.publishResults</name>
	    <value>true</value>
	</property>
	<property>
	    <name>PACT_DO_NOT_TRACK</name>
	    <value>true</value>
	</property>
</systemProperties>
Thanks,

dunno if it was a conflict with smth that we have, but the first thing to do was to remove it completely.

Was this in Pact-JVM? Would you mind raising an issue on GitHub, when you get some time (no rush). This is less than ideal, and glad you have a workaround. Ideally the metrics would work, without fail, or if they do fail, fail gracefully and allow the Pact framework to work as expected!
thanks for reporting as always @Basu Silviu

strangely, it does work despite throwing this err. The build completes as green and it moves to the next stage (Can-I-Deploy)
message has been deleted
y
have you got an 
if: always()
or any special conditions in your workflow?
b
not at all
