grunt-pact-js v0.3.0-SNAPSHOT

Generating Pact Consumer Tests with Grunt and Karma

Note that this is not an official Grunt plugin release! If you want to use this in a project, please be sure to follow the instructions for installing development versions, as outlined in the Installing Grunt guide.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ``

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-pact-js --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-pact-js');

The "contracttest" tasks

Run this task with the grunt contracttest command.

This plugin relies on the Ruby pact-mock_service. Please read the chapter Install the Mock Server

Install pact consumer library

For your tests you need pact-consumer-js-dsl. Install the library with bower or nodejs and make it accessible over your karmer config file.

bower install pact-consumer-js-dsl --save-dev

module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        ...

        // list of files / patterns to load in the browser
        files: [
          // if you are using this example to setup your own project load pact from the node_modules directory
          // i.e. node_modules/pact-consumer-js-dsl/dist/pact-consumer-js-dsl.js
          'app/bower_components/pact-consumer-js-dsl/dist/pact-consumer-js-dsl.js',

        ],
        ...
    }
}

                karmaConfigFile: 'test/karma.conf.js',
                pactDir: 'tmp'

            }
        },
    });
