syntax error, unexpected '.' with pact-1.88.84

[MarkConway94]

Pre issue-raising checklist

I have already (please mark the applicable with an x):

• Upgraded to the latest version of the relevant libraries
• Checked to see if the issue has already been raised
• Created an executable example that demonstrates the issue using either:
  • a Dockerfile
  • a fork of https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-ruby-standalone-e2e-example
  • a Git repository with a Travis or Appveyor (or similar) build
  • a gist with all the relevant code and full instructions on how to run it

Software versions

• pact-ruby-standalone: pact-1.88.84

Expected behaviour

can-i-deploy and publish commands work as expected.

Actual behaviour

Hi, starting today Friday 6th May, we are getting the following error after downloading the pact-ruby-standalone and running either the publish command or the can-i-deploy command. We noticed that in your latest release notes there also seems to be a bug with the loading of these two commands' examples which may relate to our issue.
The error we are seeing is:

➜  bin git:(main) ✗ ./pact-broker can-i-deploy --dry-run --pacticipant=MyApp --version=1.0.0 --to=INT --broker-base-url="http://pactbroker.myapp.com"

I downloaded the version before the latest one, pact-1.88.83, and that works fine

Steps to reproduce

Download pact-rubt-standalone and run the publish or can-i-deploy step

Relevent log files

Hi @MarkConway94 thanks for the report.

We are just in the middle of doing some work to support some commands for Pactflow so apologies for the inconvenience, we certainly didn't mean to break anyones workflow!

Will get this addressed as soon as possible, thanks for suggesting a workaround for users.
