Verification results are not published to Pact Broker for maven project

[Peikun0218]

Hi, I updated the pact to version 3.5.5 for our Gradle project, and the verification results are sent back to pact broker successfully. However, it seems that this feature is not working on Maven project.
Do I need to do extra configuration on our project to be able to have the function?
Could you please provide more information in your documentation?

Thanks :)

It should be automatic if you are loading the pacts from the pact broker. Can you run the verification with debug level logging enabled?

[Peikun0218]

Yes, I can run the verification in debug mode, and I added the <pact.verifier.publishResults>true</pact.verifier.publishResults> into our configuration block. But the Last Verified value is still not sent to Pact Broker.
Is there a specific value that I should look for in the debug mode if the Last Verified value is returned?

I just helped another person with this problem (but with Gradle), and their issue is they has configured the verifier to load the pact from a URL (to the pact in the broker) instead of configuring it just to query the broker.

Check that you have configured a <pactBrokerUrl>http://pact-broker.....</pactBrokerUrl> or a <pactBroker> element and not a <pactUrl>

[Peikun0218]

Thanks!!! It works. The problem is that we did not put the <pactBrokerUrl> in the right place.

Our <pactBrokerUrl> used to sit outside of the <serviceProviders>. After we move it into the <serviceProviders> to replace the <pactUrl>, the verification results are picked up by Pact broker successfully.
Thanks for your help :)

You're welcome.

But I agree it is confusing. The <pactBrokerUrl> outside is for publishing pacts.

I'm opening this again to track fixing up the confusing configuration tags.

I clicked the wrong button and closed this question by accident. Anyway thanks! :)

Yes. I realised it just now.

I'm having the same problem. The plugin seems to have no issues finding and verifying pacts but "Last verified" is never updated in the broker. I'm running the mvn pact:verify goal and my pom looks like this:

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId>
                <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId>
                <version>3.3.8</version>
                <configuration>
                    <serviceProviders>
                        <serviceProvider>
                            <name>customerportalapi</name>
                            <pactBrokerUrl>http://localhost</pactBrokerUrl>
                        </serviceProvider>
                    </serviceProviders>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
</build>

@LucasAndersson you need to run the latest version of the Maven plugin.
