Hey folks, does anyone know more about the current status of this project? https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/wiremock-pact-generator/src/master/ It's an adapter for WireMock, written by the folks at Atlassian, to auto-generate Pact-compatible consumer-side contracts from traffic to/from a WireMock instance. It still works with the latest WireMock version (3.4.2) but the fact it's not been updated recently is a bit tricky.

To be honest I hadn't seen this project before. I will take a look because I was thinking about this very thing recently

It works pretty smoothly, would be a shame if it went to that place where open source projects go to die

Nice, would be good to promote this more 👍

I’ve actually tried/played with that plugin a while back. It didn’t work out very well, at least for my use cases. In each of my tests I set up a wiremock interaction and then do a verification at the end. What I ended up with was a pact contract that had TONS of contracts in them, most of which weren’t relevant or supposed to be part of the contract. Think negative testing - I want to make sure my application is resilient to failures, but those tests shouldn’t be part of a contract.

Yeah, I can see how that happens, as the plugin by default captures everything. There are some ways to reduce this, including regex matchers for paths that should (not) be captured, but that might be a hassle, too. In your case I'd probably just separate the tests and have the ones that include interactions that should go into a contract call a different WireMock instance, and have only that one capture the requests / responses.

Even with separation, if more than one test re-uses the same contract, it still spits out the contract multiple times, which isn’t what you want either. But totally agree with you. It would be a great starting point
