Can't set pact.verifier.publishResults to true with Maven

[MeadowValley]

Hello,

since an update I get the following warning:
[main] WARN au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.InteractionRunner - Skipping publishing of verification results (pact.verifier.publishResults is not set to 'true')
As I found this #publishing-verification-results-to-a-pact-broker-version-354 I tried to set the property in the pom.xml in property-section, via the properties-maven-plugin and via command line (Dpact.verifier.publishResults=true), but nothing of that worked for me. I could not figure out how to set it to true.

Any ideas?

Edit: This may be a duplicate of: #538
As I use Annotations (@PactUrl) and there is no Annotation like PactBrokerUrl there may be another chance? I need an url like: "http://" + Constants.PACTBROKERHOST + ":" + Constants.PACTBROKERPORT + "/pacts/provider/" + PROVIDER + "/consumer/" + CONSUMER+ "/version/" + PACTVERSION

The JUnit tests run by the surefire Maven plugin. You need to get it to set the property, as per http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html

The value of 'true' the verifier seeks is the string "true" rather than the boolean true (see ProviderVerifier.kt) (Possible enhancement? If so, I can work on that). So that is why the way you set it via the terminal failed. That being said, when setting the property with the surefire Maven plugin, <pact.verifier.publishResults>true</pact.verifier.publishResults> suffices.

Also, this enables publishing verification results to a Pact Broker. So even if you set it to true, it has no use without a broker.

JVM properties are always strings. How can you supply any other type of value?

[SnewsButton]

I think I erred because of my general jvm unfamiliarity. Rather than setting the property through maven (which I do now), I initially set pact.verifier.publishResults to the boolean true programatically. So

Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("pact.verifier.publishResults", true);
System.setProperties(prop);

would not register as 'true', but this would:

prop.put("pact.verifier.publishResults", "true");

This is probably just my own fault.

Okay, this is what I have now:

...
<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>${mvn-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
				<configuration>
					<systemProperties>
						<property>
							<pact.verifier.publishResults>true</pact.verifier.publishResults>
						</property>
					</systemProperties>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>
...

This is working for me.
One of my problems was that I executed my test without maven.

You can close this thread now as my issue is solved. :)
Thank you all!

@derKnecht According to your last comment:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <systemProperties>
                        <property>
                            <pact.verifier.publishResults>true</pact.verifier.publishResults>
                        </property>
                    </systemProperties>
                    <includes>
                        <include>**/*Test.java</include>
                        <include>**/*Tests.java</include>
                        <include>**/*TestCase.java</include>
                        <include>**/*Spec.java</include>
                    </includes>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

That still not work for me. Could you please help me?

ublishing verification results to a Pact Broker. So even if you set it to true, it has no use without a broker.

        <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <systemProperties>
                        <property>
                            <pact.verifier.publishResults>"true"</pact.verifier.publishResults>
                        </property>
                    </systemProperties>
                    <includes>
                        <include>**/*Test.java</include>
                        <include>**/*Tests.java</include>
                        <include>**/*TestCase.java</include>
                        <include>**/*Spec.java</include>
                    </includes>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

This is my configuration but still not works no matter I change the value to 'true' or true or "true".

@Norman-else what version of Pact-JVM are you using?

[Dattasaisukumar]

Hi even I am also not able to publish the results after verifying . I am getting error as publish is not set to true.

I am using this pulgin

org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin 3.0.0-M5 true

and my other dependency details are

au.com.dius pact-jvm-provider-junit 4.0.10 au.com.dius pact-jvm-provider-maven 4.0.10

Can anyone please help me on this. I am able to do the verification sucessfully. I want to publish my results into PACT BROKER back

I have used "true",ture,'true' nothing workedout for me :(

[uglyog]

@Dattasaisukumar just check https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html, systemProperties is deprecated and you should use systemPropertyVariables which has a different form.
