Gradle plugin for verifying pacts against a provider.
The Gradle plugin creates a task pactVerify
to your build which will verify all configured pacts against your provider.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'au.com.dius:pact-jvm-provider-gradle_2.10:2.2.1'
}
}
apply plugin: 'au.com.dius.pact'
plugins {
id "au.com.dius.pact" version "2.2.1"
}
pact {
serviceProviders {
// You can define as many as you need, but each must have a unique name
provider1 {
// All the provider properties are optional, and have sensible defaults (shown below)
protocol = 'http'
host = 'localhost'
port = 8080
path = '/'
// Again, you can define as many consumers for each provider as you need, but each must have a unique name
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
// currently supports a file path using file() or a URL using url()
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
}
// Or if you have many pact files in a directory
hasPactsWith('manyConsumers') {
// Will define a consumer for each pact file in the directory.
// Consumer name is read from contents of pact file
pactFileLocation = file('path/to/pacts')
}
}
}
}
If you need to calculate the provider hostname at runtime, you can give a Closure as the provider host.
pact {
serviceProviders {
provider1 {
host = { lookupHostName() }
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
}
}
}
}
If you need to start-up or shutdown your provider, you can define a start and terminate task for each provider. You could use the jetty tasks here if you provider is built as a WAR file.
// This will be called before the provider task
task('startTheApp') << {
// start up your provider here
}
// This will be called after the provider task
task('killTheApp') << {
// kill your provider here
}
pact {
serviceProviders {
provider1 {
startProviderTask = startTheApp
terminateProviderTask = killTheApp
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
}
}
}
}
Following typical Gradle behaviour, you can set the provider task properties to the actual tasks, or to the task names as a string (for the case when they haven't been defined yet).
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:
pact {
serviceProviders {
provider1 {
createClient = { provider ->
// This will enable the client to accept self-signed certificates
HttpClients.custom().setSSLHostnameVerifier(new NoopHostnameVerifier())
.setSslcontext(new SSLContextBuilder().loadTrustMaterial(null, { x509Certificates, s -> true })
.build())
.build()
}
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
}
}
}
}
NOTE on breaking change: Version 2.1.8+ uses Apache HttpClient instead of HttpBuilder so the closure will receive a HttpRequest object instead of a request Map.
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 Gradle plugin provides a request filter that can be set to a closure on the provider that will be called before the request is made. This closure will receive the HttpRequest prior to it being executed.
pact {
serviceProviders {
provider1 {
requestFilter = { req ->
// Add an authorization header to each request
req.addHeader('Authorization', 'OAUTH eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImN0eSI6ImFw...')
}
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
}
}
}
}
The following project properties can be specified with -Pproperty=value
on the command line:
Property | Description |
---|---|
pact.showStacktrace | This turns on stacktrace printing for each request. It can help with diagnosing network errors |
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 |
For a description of what provider states are, see the wiki in the Ruby project: https://github.com/realestate-com-au/pact/wiki/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. As for normal requests,
a request filter (stateChangeRequestFilter
) can also be set to manipulate the request before it is sent.
You can also give a Closure for the stateChange that returns the URL.
pact {
serviceProviders {
provider1 {
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
stateChange = url('http://localhost:8001/tasks/pactStateChange')
stateChangeUsesBody = false // defaults to true
stateChangeRequestFilter = { req ->
// Add an authorization header to each request
req.addHeader('Authorization', 'OAUTH eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImN0eSI6ImFw...')
}
}
// or
hasPactsWith('consumers') {
pactFileLocation = file('path/to/pacts')
stateChange = url('http://localhost:8001/tasks/pactStateChange')
stateChangeUsesBody = false // defaults to true
}
}
}
}
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.
You can set a closure to be called before each verification with a defined provider state. The closure will be called with the state description from the pact file. If you also require the state change request to be executed, return the URL for the request (as a URL, URI or String) from the closure. Otherwise, return null or false.
pact {
serviceProviders {
provider1 {
hasPactWith('consumer1') {
pactFile = file('path/to/provider1-consumer1-pact.json')
// Load a fixture file based on the provider state and then setup some database
// data. Does not require a state change request so returns false
stateChange = { providerState ->
def fixture = loadFixtuerForProviderState(providerState)
setupDatabase(fixture)
false
}
}
}
}
}
You can filter the interactions that are run using three project properties: pact.filter.consumers
, pact.filter.description
and pact.filter.providerState
.
Adding -Ppact.filter.consumers=consumer1,consumer2
to the command line will only run the pact files for those
consumers (consumer1 and consumer2). Adding -Ppact.filter.description=a request for payment.*
will only run those interactions
whose descriptions start with 'a request for payment'. -Ppact.filter.providerState=.*payment
will match any interaction that
has a provider state that ends with payment, and -Ppact.filter.providerState=
will match any interaction that does not have a
provider state.
