Support for publishing validation results to Pact Broker

[ogawa-takeshi]

Hello. Thank you for supporting Pact.
From version 2.0, Pact Broker is able to publish the verification result of the provider side as the following image shows.

How about Spring Cloud Contract releasing Pact's verification result to Pact Broker automatically?

Can you elaborate on how the flow would look like?

[ogawa-takeshi]

I have created sample code as follows.
https://github.com/tagbangers/sf-2018-spring-cloud-contract-demo

In the sample code, Consumer is Angular and Provider is Spring Data REST.
A Pact file is generated on the Angular side, and varification of the Pact file is executed by the Spring Cloud Contract on the Provider side via the Pact Broker.
While doing so, I would like to notify the Pact Broker of the verification result by Spring Cloud Contract automatically.

Hi there,
I am trying to accomplish something similar for different framework mixes so I would +1 that, knowing that it may be harder than what it sounds

And how do you do that only by using Pact?

@spring-issuemaster Would it be possible to re-open this issue?

I would also like the verification results to be sent to a Pact broker after the contract tests have successfully executed.
This I think is supported by the pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.12 maven plugin after you run mvn pact:verify.

Would it be possible to configure this in the configuration of the spring maven plugin spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin?
Maybe a switch or flag that would optionally publish the verification results to the pact broker like contractsPublishVerificationResults if it is set and spring-cloud-contract-pact is the broker implementation?

Proposed configuration.

<plugin> 
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <contractsPublishVerificationResults>true</contractsPublishVerificationResults>

I don't understand. You can configure the maven plugins to automatically publish results.
