Gotchas

  • Be aware when using the app from the config.ru file is used (the default option) that the Rack::Builder.parse_file seems to require files even if they have already been required, so make sure your boot files are idempotent.

Matching problems

  • If the match results don't make sense, check that your Content-Type header is set - the matcher used depends on the Content-Type. If the Content-Type doesn't match "application/.*json", then it will be using a text matcher, which will do an exact text match.

  • Try using a different diff formatter. Different people find the different formats easier to interpret.

Provider

Show full backtrace for pact:verify

Add BACKTRACE=true to the rake pact:verify command (you'll probably want to set the PACT_DESCRIPTION and PACT_PROVIDER_STATE environment variables too so that you don't have to trawl through every backtrace for every interaction in your pact at once).

$ bundle exec rake pact:verify BACKTRACE=true
