User story

I want to verify my pact consumer contracts on build agent

I want to sync the pact consumer contracts generated on my build agent to pact broker

Where to start?

npm install pactbroker-extn

How it is achieved?

Here is an sample travis yaml snippet,

before_script:
  -  npm install && node ./getProviderPacts.js

script:
  - ./run-test.sh

after_script:
    -  npm install && node ./saveConsumerPacts.js

deploy:
  provider: ...

Sample code for getProviderPacts.js (Code link)

var pactbroker = require('pactbroker-extn');
var nconf = require('nconf');

nconf.argv().env();

var pact_broker_config = {
  baseUri: 'http://pactbroker.com/',
  username: nconf.get('pact_broker_user'),
  password: nconf.get('pact_broker_password'),
  providerFolderPath: "../pacts/provider/"
};

pactbroker.getPactsForProvider("forms-api", pact_broker_config);

Sample code for saveConsumerPacts.js (code link)

var pactbroker = require('pactbroker-extn');
var nconf = require('nconf');

nconf.argv().env();

var pact_broker_config = {
  baseUri: 'http://pactbroker.com/',
  username: nconf.get('pact_broker_user'),
  password: nconf.get('pact_broker_password'),
  consumerFolderPath: './testdata',
};

pactbroker.publishConsumerPacts('forms-api', pact_broker_config);

Gotcha's!

In its current form, this package assumes your pactbroker is secured with basic authentication and hence the need for user name and password as in the example code below. It should be made optional, Happy for receive a pull request regarding this or I shall fix it.

Test command for developers

npm install jasmine-node -g
jasmine-node ./spec --autotest --color

What it is NOT?

This is NOT a PACT implementation / DSL.

For Ruby implementation For .NET implementation For JVM implementation For javscript implementation
