au.com.dius:pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.10

Maven plugin to verify a provider [version 2.1.9+] ================================================== Maven plugin for verifying pacts against a provider. The Maven plugin provides a `verify` goal which will verify all configured pacts against your provider. ## To Use It ### 1. Add the pact-jvm-provider-maven plugin to your `build` section of your pom file. ```xml <build> [...] <plugins> [...] <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> </plugin> [...] </plugins> [...] </build> ``` ### 2. Define the pacts between your consumers and providers You define all the providers and consumers within the configuration element of the maven plugin. ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <!-- You can define as many as you need, but each must have a unique name --> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <!-- All the provider properties are optional, and have sensible defaults (shown below) --> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>localhost</host> <port>8080</port> <path>/</path> <consumers> <!-- Again, you can define as many consumers for each provider as you need, but each must have a unique name --> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <!-- currently supports a file path using pactFile or a URL using pactUrl --> <pactFile>path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ### 3. Execute `mvn pact:verify` You will have to have your provider running for this to pass. ## Verifying all pact files in a directory for a provider. [2.1.10+] You can specify a directory that contains pact files, and the Pact plugin will scan for all pact files that match that provider and define a consumer for each pact file in the directory. Consumer name is read from contents of pact file. ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <!-- You can define as many as you need, but each must have a unique name --> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <!-- All the provider properties are optional, and have sensible defaults (shown below) --> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>localhost</host> <port>8080</port> <path>/</path> <pactFileDirectory>path/to/pacts</pactFileDirectory> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ## Enabling insecure SSL [version 2.2.8+] For providers that are running on SSL with self-signed certificates, you need to enable insecure SSL mode by setting `<insecure>true</insecure>` on the provider. ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <pactFileDirectory>path/to/pacts</pactFileDirectory> <insecure>true</insecure> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ## Specifying a custom trust store [version 2.2.8+] For environments that are running their own certificate chains: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <pactFileDirectory>path/to/pacts</pactFileDirectory> <trustStore>relative/path/to/trustStore.jks</trustStore> <trustStorePassword>changeit</trustStorePassword> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` `trustStore` is either relative to the current working (build) directory. `trustStorePassword` defaults to `changeit`. NOTE: The hostname will still be verified against the certificate. ## Modifying the requests before they are sent Sometimes you may need to add things to the requests that can't be persisted in a pact file. Examples of these would be authentication tokens, which have a small life span. The Pact Maven plugin provides a request filter that can be set to a Groovy script on the provider that will be called before the request is made. This script will receive the HttpRequest bound to a variable named `request` prior to it being executed. ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <requestFilter> // This is a Groovy script that adds an Authorization header to each request request.addHeader('Authorization', 'oauth-token eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIm...') </requestFilter> <consumers> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <pactFile>path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` __*Important Note:*__ You should only use this feature for things that can not be persisted in the pact file. By modifying the request, you are potentially modifying the contract from the consumer tests! ## Modifying the HTTP Client Used [version 2.2.4+] The default HTTP client is used for all requests to providers (created with a call to `HttpClients.createDefault()`). This can be changed by specifying a closure assigned to createClient on the provider that returns a CloseableHttpClient. For example: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <createClient> // This is a Groovy script that will enable the client to accept self-signed certificates import org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContextBuilder import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.NoopHostnameVerifier import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients HttpClients.custom().setSSLHostnameVerifier(new NoopHostnameVerifier()) .setSslcontext(new SSLContextBuilder().loadTrustMaterial(null, { x509Certificates, s -> true }) .build()) .build() </createClient> <consumers> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <pactFile>path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ## Turning off URL decoding of the paths in the pact file [version 3.3.3+] By default the paths loaded from the pact file will be decoded before the request is sent to the provider. To turn this behaviour off, set the system property `pact.verifier.disableUrlPathDecoding` to `true`. __*Important Note:*__ If you turn off the url path decoding, you need to ensure that the paths in the pact files are correctly encoded. The verifier will not be able to make a request with an invalid encoded path. ## Plugin Properties The following plugin properties can be specified with `-Dproperty=value` on the command line or in the configuration section: |Property|Description| |--------|-----------| |pact.showStacktrace|This turns on stacktrace printing for each request. It can help with diagnosing network errors| |pact.showFullDiff|This turns on displaying the full diff of the expected versus actual bodies [version 3.3.6+]| |pact.filter.consumers|Comma seperated list of consumer names to verify| |pact.filter.description|Only verify interactions whose description match the provided regular expression| |pact.filter.providerState|Only verify interactions whose provider state match the provided regular expression. An empty string matches interactions that have no state| Example in the configuration section: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <consumers> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <pactFile>path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> <configuration> <pact.showStacktrace>true</pact.showStacktrace> </configuration> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ## Provider States For each provider you can specify a state change URL to use to switch the state of the provider. This URL will receive the providerState description from the pact file before each interaction via a POST. The stateChangeUsesBody controls if the state is passed in the request body or as a query parameter. These values can be set at the provider level, or for a specific consumer. Consumer values take precedent if both are given. ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <stateChangeUrl>http://localhost:8080/tasks/pactStateChange</stateChangeUrl> <stateChangeUsesBody>false</stateChangeUsesBody> <!-- defaults to true --> <consumers> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <pactFile>path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> <stateChangeUrl>http://localhost:8080/tasks/pactStateChangeForConsumer1</stateChangeUrl> <stateChangeUsesBody>false</stateChangeUsesBody> <!-- defaults to true --> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` If the `stateChangeUsesBody` is not specified, or is set to true, then the provider state description will be sent as JSON in the body of the request. If it is set to false, it will passed as a query parameter. As for normal requests (see Modifying the requests before they are sent), a state change request can be modified before it is sent. Set `stateChangeRequestFilter` to a Groovy script on the provider that will be called before the request is made. #### Teardown calls for state changes [version 3.2.5/2.4.7+] You can enable teardown state change calls by setting the property `<stateChangeTeardown>true</stateChangeTeardown>` on the provider. This will add an `action` parameter to the state change call. The setup call before the test will receive `action=setup`, and then a teardown call will be made afterwards to the state change URL with `action=teardown`. ## Verifying pact files from a pact broker [version 3.1.1+/2.3.1+] You can setup your build to validate against the pacts stored in a pact broker. The pact plugin will query the pact broker for all consumers that have a pact with the provider based on its name. To use it, just configure the `pactBrokerUrl` or `pactBroker` value for the provider with the base URL to the pact broker. For example: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <stateChangeUrl>http://localhost:8080/tasks/pactStateChange</stateChangeUrl> <pactBrokerUrl>http://pact-broker:5000/</pactBrokerUrl> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ### Verifying pacts from an authenticated pact broker [version 3.3.5+] If your pact broker requires authentication (basic authentication is only supported), you can configure the username and password to use by configuring the `authentication` element of the `pactBroker` element of your provider. For example: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <stateChangeUrl>http://localhost:8080/tasks/pactStateChange</stateChangeUrl> <pactBroker> <url>http://pactbroker:1234</url> <authentication> <username>test</username> <password>test</password> </authentication> </pactBroker> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` ### Verifying pacts from an pact broker that match particular tags [version 3.3.5+] If your pacts in your pact broker have been tagged, you can set the tags to fetch by configuring the `tags` element of the `pactBroker` element of your provider. For example: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>provider1</name> <stateChangeUrl>http://localhost:8080/tasks/pactStateChange</stateChangeUrl> <pactBroker> <url>http://pactbroker:1234</url> <tags> <tag>TEST</tag> <tag>DEV</tag> </tags> </pactBroker> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` This example will fetch and validate the pacts for the TEST and DEV tags. ## Filtering the interactions that are verified You can filter the interactions that are run using three properties: `pact.filter.consumers`, `pact.filter.description` and `pact.filter.providerState`. Adding `-Dpact.filter.consumers=consumer1,consumer2` to the command line or configuration section will only run the pact files for those consumers (consumer1 and consumer2). Adding `-Dpact.filter.description=a request for payment.*` will only run those interactions whose descriptions start with 'a request for payment'. `-Dpact.filter.providerState=.*payment` will match any interaction that has a provider state that ends with payment, and `-Dpact.filter.providerState=` will match any interaction that does not have a provider state. # Verifying a message provider [version 2.2.12+] The Maven plugin has been updated to allow invoking test methods that can return the message contents from a message producer. To use it, set the way to invoke the verification to `ANNOTATED_METHOD`. This will allow the pact verification task to scan for test methods that return the message contents. Add something like the following to your maven pom file: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>messageProvider</name> <verificationType>ANNOTATED_METHOD</verificationType> <!-- packagesToScan is optional, but leaving it out will result in the entire test classpath being scanned. Set it to the packages where your annotated test method can be found. --> <packagesToScan> <packageToScan>au.com.example.messageprovider.*</packageToScan> </packagesToScan> <consumers> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <pactFile>path/to/messageprovider-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> </configuration> </plugin> ``` Now when the pact verify task is run, will look for methods annotated with `@PactVerifyProvider` in the test classpath that have a matching description to what is in the pact file. ```groovy class ConfirmationKafkaMessageBuilderTest { @PactVerifyProvider('an order confirmation message') String verifyMessageForOrder() { Order order = new Order() order.setId(10000004) order.setExchange('ASX') order.setSecurityCode('CBA') order.setPrice(BigDecimal.TEN) order.setUnits(15) order.setGst(new BigDecimal('15.0')) odrer.setFees(BigDecimal.TEN) def message = new ConfirmationKafkaMessageBuilder() .withOrder(order) .build() JsonOutput.toJson(message) } } ``` It will then validate that the returned contents matches the contents for the message in the pact file. ## Changing the class path that is scanned By default, the test classpath is scanned for annotated methods. You can override this by setting the `classpathElements` property: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <serviceProviders> <serviceProvider> <name>messageProvider</name> <verificationType>ANNOTATED_METHOD</verificationType> <consumers> <consumer> <name>consumer1</name> <pactFile>path/to/messageprovider-consumer1-pact.json</pactFile> </consumer> </consumers> </serviceProvider> </serviceProviders> <classpathElements> <classpathElement> build/classes/test </classpathElement> </classpathElements> </configuration> </plugin> ``` # Publishing pact files to a pact broker [version 3.2.0+] The pact maven plugin provides a `publish` mojo that can publish all pact files in a directory to a pact broker. To use it, you need to add a publish configuration to the POM that defines the directory where the pact files are and the URL to the pact broker. For example: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.8</version> <configuration> <pactDirectory>path/to/pact/files</pactDirectory> <!-- Defaults to ${project.build.directory}/pacts --> <pactBrokerUrl>http://pactbroker:1234</pactBrokerUrl> <projectVersion>1.0.100</projectVersion> <!-- Defaults to ${project.version} --> <trimSnapshot>true</trimSnapshot> <!-- Defaults to false --> </configuration> </plugin> ``` You can now execute `mvn pact:publish` to publish the pact files. _NOTE:_ The pact broker requires a version for all published pacts. The `publish` task will use the version of the project by default, but can be overwritten with the `projectVersion` property. Make sure you have set one otherwise the broker will reject the pact files. _NOTE_: By default, the pact broker has issues parsing `SNAPSHOT` versions. You can configure the publisher to automatically remove `-SNAPSHOT` from your version number by setting `trimSnapshot` to true. This setting does not modify non-snapshot versions. ## Publishing to an authenticated pact broker [version 3.3.9+] For an authenticated pact broker, you can pass in the credentials with the `pactBrokerUsername` and `pactBrokerPassword` properties. Currently it only supports basic authentication. For example: ```xml <plugin> <groupId>au.com.dius</groupId> <artifactId>pact-jvm-provider-maven_2.11</artifactId> <version>3.3.9</version> <configuration> <pactBrokerUrl>http://pactbroker:1234</pactBrokerUrl> <pactBrokerUsername>USERNAME</pactBrokerUsername> <pactBrokerPassword>PASSWORD</pactBrokerPassword> </configuration> </plugin> ```

Pact-JVM

Pact-JVM Build Maven Central

JVM implementation of the consumer driven contract library pact.

From the Ruby Pact website:

Define a pact between service consumers and providers, enabling "consumer driven contract" testing.

Pact provides an RSpec DSL for service consumers to define the HTTP requests they will make to a service provider and the HTTP responses they expect back. These expectations are used in the consumers specs to provide a mock service provider. The interactions are recorded, and played back in the service provider specs to ensure the service provider actually does provide the response the consumer expects.

This allows testing of both sides of an integration point using fast unit tests.

This gem is inspired by the concept of "Consumer driven contracts". See https://martinfowler.com/articles/consumerDrivenContracts.html for more information.

Service Consumers

Pact-JVM has a number of ways you can write your service consumer tests.

I Use Scala

You want to look at: pact4s.

I Use Java

You want to look at: junit for JUnit 4 tests and junit5 for JUnit 5 tests. Also, if you are using Java 11 or above, there is an updated DSL for consumer tests.

NOTE: If you are using Java 8, there is no separate Java 8 support library anymore, see the above library.

I Use Groovy or Grails

You want to look at: groovy or junit

(Use Clojure I)

Clojure can call out to Java, so have a look at junit. For an example look at example_clojure_consumer_pact_test.clj.

I Use some other jvm language or test framework

You want to look at: Consumer

My Consumer interacts with a Message Queue

As part of the V3 pact specification, we have defined a new pact file for interactions with message queues. For an implementation of a Groovy consumer test with a message pact, have a look at PactMessageBuilderSpec.groovy.

Service Providers

Once you have run your consumer tests, you will have generated some Pact files. You can then verify your service providers with these files.

I am writing a provider and want to ...

verify pacts with SBT

You want to look at: pact4s or scala-pact

verify pacts with Gradle

You want to look at: pact gradle plugin

verify pacts with Maven

You want to look at: pact maven plugin

verify pacts with JUnit tests

You want to look at: junit provider support for JUnit 4 tests and junit5 for JUnit 5 tests

verify pacts with Leiningen

You want to look at: pact leiningen plugin

verify pacts with a Spring MVC project

Have a look at spring or Spring MVC Pact Test Runner (Not maintained).

I want to verify pacts but don't want to use sbt or gradle or leiningen

You want to look at: provider

verify interactions with a message queue

As part of the V3 pact specification, we have defined a new pact file for interactions with message queues. The Gradle pact plugin supports a mechanism where you can verify V3 message pacts, have a look at pact gradle plugin. The JUnit pact library also supports verification of V3 message pacts, have a look at junit.

I Use Ruby or Go or something else

The pact-jvm libraries are pure jvm technologies and do not have any native dependencies.

However, if you have a ruby provider, the json produced by this library is compatible with the ruby pact library. You'll want to look at: Ruby Pact.

For .Net, there is Pact-net.

For JS, there is Pact-JS.

For Go, there is Pact-go.

For Rust, there is Pact-Rust.

Have a look at implementations in other languages.

I Use something completely different

There's a limit to how much we can help, however check out pact-jvm-server

How do I transport my pacts from consumers to providers?

You want to look at: Pact Broker

Which is a project that aims at providing tooling to coordinate pact generation and delivery between projects.

I want to contribute

Documentation for contributors is here.
