Hey there! Say I have the following scenario: I have a contract test between

Service A (consumer)

and

Service B (provider)

. However, in this particular test, and for the particular endpoint we're exercising,

Service B (provider)

makes an additional call to its own provider,

Service C

. My question is: Has anyone encountered this and worked out a solution where you can still run the contract test with

Service B (provider)

running in isolation, without the need for

Service C

to be running concurrently?

Yes this is totally normal. You should stub C in your provider B verification, and have pact tests between B and C

That was the direction we were already going, so it's awesome having validation that we're following the right path. 🙂 Thanks, Matt!
