Issue Checklist

Please confirm the following:

• I have upgraded to the latest
• I have the read the FAQs in the Readme
• I have triple checked, that there are no unhandled promises in my code and have read the section on intermittent test failures
• I have set my log level to debug and attached a log file showing the complete request/response cycle
• For bonus points and virtual high fives, I have created a reproduceable git repository (see below) to illustrate the problem

I work on a private network and cannot attach logs or code examples

Expected behaviour

setting disableSslVerifications: true will fix BadSignature error when broker is on https

Actual behaviour

setting disableSslVerifications: true didn't have an effect

Steps to reproduce

deploy pact broker with https endpoint
publish contract from consumer
try to verify pacts from provider running locally

Hi :)
I'm using PactJs version 12.3.0, and have a pact broker deployed on openshift.
on the consumer part - everything works well. contract are published correctly through the cicd pipeline.
on the provider part - I created a unit test with jest for verifying contracts using Verifier. I keep getting an error:
Failed to load pact - No pacts found under provider 'provider' matching the given consumer version selectors in pact broker 'https://pact.broker': IO Error - Failed to access pact broker path '/' - error sending request for url (https://pact.broker/): error trying to connect: invalid peer certificate: BadSignature. URL: 'https://pact.broker'
certificate is indeed invalid, but I just want to disable ssl verification. In the consumer cicd I used PACT_DISABLE_SSL_VERIFICATION and it worked, but with the Verifier it looks like disableSslVerification has no impact.

I will mention again - I work on a private network and cannot attach log or code files, I can copy specific things. sorry for that :(

Thanks!

also tried using validateSsl, didn't change anything

I think this might be related to pact-foundation/pact-reference#387

I have now fixed my certificate, its valid, yet the same error occurs

[mefellows]

Are you getting the same error or a different one? If the certificate is valid, it shouldn't be erroring obviously. Can you share the certificate here for review?

[orenhan]

I cant share my certificate because I work on a private network and exporting files from it is a long process, anything specific about the certificate that can help?
