@IgnoreNoPactsToVerify passes verification tests when a connection to the pact-broker can't be established

[jarmy]

If running a Pact verification SpringBootTest with @IgnoreNoPactsToVerify and there's no SSL/TLS certificates installed allowing a connection to the pact-broker, the test will pass with No pacts found to verify. After enabling debugging on the test side, I was able to find this event (full log
pact_SSLHandshakeException.log):

09:53:46.187 [DEBUG] [TestEventLogger]     2021-03-10T09:53:46.154-0800 [Test worker] WARN  a.c.d.pact.core.pactbroker.HalClient - Could not fetch the root HAL document
09:53:46.187 [DEBUG] [TestEventLogger]     javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I'd like to think that if no connection can be made to the broker, the test would fail.

Here's the pact libraries we're using:

    testImplementation "au.com.dius.pact.provider:junit5:4.1.7"
    testImplementation "au.com.dius.pact.provider:junit5spring:4.1.7"

@jarmy could you try with the latest versions (4.1.17)? The error handling was changed.

@uglyog After upgrading, the test fails with au.com.dius.pact.core.pactbroker.InvalidNavigationRequest: Failed to fetch the root HAL document. This is resolved.
