PACT Test Example Repo

Repo consists of two services and dockerised PACT broker:

• Consumer Service - Sends downstream request to Provider service
• Provider Service
• Docker Compose (Pact broker & postgres) to run the PACT dependencies on local

Consumer Service

To Publish the consumer pact test to the broker run mvn clean test pact:publish

Running the above will run the Test in the class src/test/java/contract/ConsumerTest.java and publish the generated pacts to the broker

Provider

To run the provider test mvn clean test

Currently, the provider test is designed to fail so interested parties can pull and play around.

"description": "Expected '€115.00' but received '€114.99999999999999'",

The consumer expects €115.00 to be returned but the test fails due to the decimal points. So clearly the PACT test shows a gap in understanding between the two services, as usually when dealing with currency only 2 decimal points are considered.

Broker

Before Running the tests ensure the docker compose is running by navigating to docker directory and running

docker-compose up

To view the broker enter the url localhost:9292 into your browser. After publishing and verifying the changes can be observed.
