Provider verifier verifies multiple consumers if PACT file is given

[judimator]

Initial state

• pact-php:^9.0
• One provider, called Provider 1
• Multiple consumers for Provider 1, call them Consumer1, Consumer2
• Pacts of Consumer1, Consumer2 are published. Contract for Consumer2 is not valid for Provider 1

Step to reproduce

• Run the following script

$config = new VerifierConfig();
$config
    ->setProviderName('Provider1')
    ->setProviderVersion(getenv('PACT_PROVIDER_VERSION'))
    ->setProviderBranch(getenv('PACT_PROVIDER_BRANCH'))
    ->setProviderBaseUrl(new Uri('http://localhost:7202'))
    ->setBrokerUri(new Uri(getenv('PACT_BROKER_URL')))
    ->setBrokerUsername(getenv('PACT_BROKER_HTTP_AUTH_USER'))
    ->setBrokerPassword(getenv('PACT_BROKER_HTTP_AUTH_PASS'))
    ->setPublishResults(true)
    ->setVerbose(true)
    ->setProviderStatesSetupUrl('http://127.0.0.1:7202/states/');

$verifier = new Verifier($config);
$verifier->verify('Consumer1', null, getenv('PACT_CONSUMER_VERSION'));

Expected result

• Only contract for Consumer1 verified

Actual result

• Contract result for Consumer2 presented in verification output

Looking at the following line, I can't quite see how that could find other consumers - unless there is a bug in the broker (doubtful):

pact-php/src/PhpPact/Standalone/ProviderVerifier/Verifier.php

Line 146 in 6097940

public function verify(string $consumerName, string $tag = null, string $consumerVersion = null): self

Can you please share some logs with verbose/debug logging enabled to help us understand what calls are being made to the broker?

[mefellows]

Ah, I suspect that because the Verifier has been given a broker URL, it is also dynamically fetching pacts. The logs and terminal will show this, however.

@mefellows Yeah, I think that is the cause, so if broker data given it tries to verify not only given file but all pacts as well
