Pact HTML view does not render pact response bodies with top-level arrays

[richard-reece]

Given a pact with a response body like:

        "body": [
          {
            "description": "product here",
            "section": "product here",
            "productNumber": 0,
            "category": "product here"
          }
        ],

The pact broker will render a HTML version of the pact with an empty array, misleading users about what the pact contains. The API browser displays the correct pact contents.

It's because of the min: 0.

It's illegal for that value to be zero. Could you update that in the pactman implementation please?

See https://docs.pact.io/faq#why-is-there-no-support-for-specifying-optional-attributes

The same goes for specifying an array with length 0 or more. If all your provider verification data returned 0 length arrays, all your verification tests would pass without you ever having validated the contents of the array. This is why you can only specify an array with minimum length 1 OR a zero length array.

pactman already enforces a that min must be greater than 0. I'm trying to figure out how that pact was generated now.
