Prerequisites

1. JVM 11+
2. Credentials for the public pact broker https://test.pact.dius.com.au/

Notes

Consumer and provider test examples both here for convenience

Consumer carolyn.pretend-consumer

Provider carolyn.google

There may be a pact already on the broker for this, if you want to start from scratch delete this via the broker first

Before you start

export PUBLIC_PACT_USERNAME=<your username> 
export PUBLIC_PACT_PASSWORD=<your password>

Get a pact into the broker to test with

1. Comment out ProviderVerificationTest (it will fail if there are no pacts on the broker with provider carolyn.pretend-consumer

2. Run Consumer test and publish pact to broker:

    ./gradlew clean build pactPublish
   

3. You should then see that the pact has been uploaded to the broker, and not yet verified

Run provider test with runtime error and publish

1. Comment back in ProviderVerificationTest if you had it commented out for the above. Make sure @State("google exists") remains commented out - this will force the error.

2. Run Provider verification test and publish results to broker:

    ./gradlew clean build -Dpact.verifier.publishResults=true
   

   This will fail with

    provider.ProviderVerificationTest > pactVerificationTestTemplate$pact_example(PactVerificationContext)[1] FAILED
        au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.MissingStateChangeMethod
   

Expected result

Result displays as "not run" or "problem running test" or similar on pact broker - something to make it clear that a verification has not taken place

Actual result

Result shows as verified on broker:
