@pact-foundation/pact
Advanced tools
@pact-foundation/pact is a consumer-driven contract testing tool for microservices and distributed systems. It allows you to define the interactions between service consumers and providers in a contract, which can then be used to verify that both sides adhere to the contract.
Consumer Pact
This code demonstrates how to set up a Pact mock provider for a consumer service. It defines an interaction where the provider is expected to return data when a GET request is made to the /data endpoint.
const { Pact } = require('@pact-foundation/pact');
const path = require('path');
const provider = new Pact({
consumer: 'ConsumerService',
provider: 'ProviderService',
port: 1234,
log: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'logs', 'pact.log'),
dir: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'pacts'),
logLevel: 'INFO'
});
provider.setup().then(() => {
// Define interactions
provider.addInteraction({
state: 'provider has data',
uponReceiving: 'a request for data',
withRequest: {
method: 'GET',
path: '/data',
headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }
},
willRespondWith: {
status: 200,
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: { key: 'value' }
}
});
// Verify interactions
return provider.verify();
}).finally(() => provider.finalize());Provider Verification
This code demonstrates how to verify a provider against a Pact file. It uses the Verifier class to ensure that the provider service meets the expectations defined in the Pact file.
const { Verifier } = require('@pact-foundation/pact');
const opts = {
providerBaseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080',
pactUrls: ['path/to/pact-file.json']
};
new Verifier().verifyProvider(opts).then(output => {
console.log('Pact Verification Complete!');
console.log(output);
}).catch(e => {
console.error('Pact Verification Failed: ', e);
});Pact Broker Integration
This code demonstrates how to publish Pact files to a Pact Broker. It uses the Publisher class to upload the Pact files, making them available for provider verification.
const { Publisher } = require('@pact-foundation/pact');
const opts = {
pactFilesOrDirs: ['path/to/pacts'],
pactBroker: 'http://pact-broker-url',
consumerVersion: '1.0.0'
};
new Publisher(opts).publishPacts().then(() => {
console.log('Pacts successfully published!');
}).catch(e => {
console.error('Failed to publish pacts: ', e);
});Contractual is another contract testing tool that focuses on defining and verifying contracts between microservices. It is similar to @pact-foundation/pact but offers a different API and may have different integrations and features.
Hoverfly is a tool for API simulation and testing. It allows you to create simulations of APIs and verify interactions. While it is not specifically a contract testing tool like @pact-foundation/pact, it can be used to achieve similar goals by simulating and verifying API interactions.
MockServer is a tool for creating mock HTTP servers and verifying requests. It can be used for contract testing by defining expected interactions and verifying that the server behaves as expected. It offers a different approach compared to @pact-foundation/pact but can be used for similar purposes.
Implementation of the consumer driven contract library Pact for Javascript.
From the Pact website:
The Pact family of frameworks provide support for Consumer Driven Contracts testing.
A Contract is a collection of agreements between a client (Consumer) and an API (Provider) that describes the interactions that can take place between them.
Consumer Driven Contracts is a pattern that drives the development of the Provider from its Consumers point of view.
Pact is a testing tool that guarantees those Contracts are satisfied.

NOTE: This project supersedes Pact Consumer JS DSL.
npm i -S @pact-foundation/pact@latest
See the Changelog for versions and their history.
Pact supports synchronous request-response style HTTP interactions and asynchronous interactions with JSON-formatted payloads.
To use the library on your tests, add the pact dependency:
const { Pact } = require("pact");
The Pact class provides the following high-level APIs, they are listed in the order in which they typically get called in the lifecycle of testing a consumer:
| API | Options | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
new Pact(options) | See constructor options below | Object | Creates a Mock Server test double of your Provider API. If you need multiple Providers for a scenario, you can create as many as these as you need. |
setup() | n/a | Promise | Start the Mock Server and wait for it to be available. You would normally call this only once in a beforeAll(...) type clause |
addInteraction() | Object | Promise | Register an expectation on the Mock Server, which must be called by your test case(s). You can add multiple interactions per server, and each test would normally contain one or more of these. These will be validated and written to a pact if successful. |
verify() | n/a | Promise | Verifies that all interactions specified. This should be called once per test, to ensure your expectations were correct |
finalize() | n/a | Promise | Records the interactions registered to the Mock Server into the pact file and shuts it down. You would normally call this only once in an afterAll(...) type clause. |
| Parameter | Required? | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
consumer | yes | string | The name of the consumer |
provider | yes | string | The name of the provider |
port | no | number | The port to run the mock service on, defaults to 1234 |
host | no | string | The host to run the mock service, defaults to 127.0.0.1 |
ssl | no | boolean | SSL flag to identify the protocol to be used (default false, HTTP) |
sslcert | no | string | Path to SSL certificate to serve on the mock service |
sslkey | no | string | Path to SSL key to serve on the mock service |
dir | no | string | Directory to output pact files |
log | no | string | File to log to |
logLevel | no | string | Log level: one of 'trace', 'debug', 'info', 'error', 'fatal' or 'warn' |
spec | no | number | Pact specification version (defaults to 2) |
cors | no | boolean | Allow CORS OPTION requests to be accepted, defaults to false |
pactfileWriteMode | no | string | Control how the Pact files are written. Choices: 'overwrite' 'update' or 'none'. Defaults to 'overwrite' |
The first step is to create a test for your API Consumer. The example below uses Mocha, and demonstrates the basic approach:
Check out the examples folder for examples with Karma Jasmine, Mocha and Jest. The example below is taken from the integration spec.

Once you have created Pacts for your Consumer, you need to validate those Pacts against your Provider. The Verifier object provides the following API for you to do so:
| API | Options | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
verifyProvider() | See below | Promise | Start the Mock Server |
const { Verifier } = require('@pact-foundation/pact');
let opts = {
...
};
new Verifier().verifyProvider(opts).then(function () {
// do something
});
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
providerBaseUrl | true | string | Running API provider host endpoint. Required. |
provider | true | string | Name of the Provider. Required. |
pactUrls | true | array of strings | Array of local Pact file paths or HTTP-based URLs (e.g. from a broker). Required if not using a Broker. |
pactBrokerUrl | false | string | URL of the Pact Broker to retrieve pacts from. Required if not using pactUrls. |
tags | false | array of strings | Array of tags, used to filter pacts from the Broker. Optional. |
providerStatesSetupUrl | false | string | Optional URL to call with a POST request for each providerState defined in a pact (see below for more info). |
pactBrokerUsername | false | string | Username for Pact Broker basic authentication |
pactBrokerPassword | false | string | Password for Pact Broker basic authentication |
publishVerificationResult | false | boolean | Publish verification result to Broker |
providerVersion | false | string | Provider version, required to publish verification results to a broker |
customProviderHeaders | false | array of strings | Header(s) to add to provider state set up and pact verification requests. eg 'Authorization: Basic cGFjdDpwYWN0'.Broker. Optional otherwise. |
timeout | false | number | The duration in ms we should wait to confirm verification process was successful. Defaults to 30000, Optional. |
That's it! Read more about Verifying Pacts.
If you have defined any states in your consumer tests, the Verifier can put the provider into the right state right before submitting a request (for example, the provider can use the state to mock away certain database queries). To support this, the provider must provide an extra API endpoint that accepts the query parameters consumer and state and returns an HTTP 200.
You can then configure this endpoint as providerStatesSetupUrl in the options passed into Verifier.verifyProvider(). If this option is not configured, the Verifier will ignore the provider states defined in the pact.
See this Provider for a working example, or read more about Provider States.
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. e.g. an OAuth bearer token: Authorization: Bearer 0b79bab50daca910b000d4f1a2b675d604257e42.
For this case, we have a facility that should be carefully used during verification - the ability to specificy custom headers to be sent during provider verification. The flag to achieve this is customProviderHeaders.
For example, to have two headers sent as part of the verification request, modify the verifyProvider options as per below:
let opts = {
provider: 'Animal Profile Service',
...
customProviderHeaders: ['Authorization: Bearer e5e5e5e5e5e5e5', 'SomeSpecialHeader: some specialvalue']
}
return new Verifier().verifyProvider(opts).then(output => { ... })
As you can see, this is your opportunity to modify\add to headers being sent to the Provider API, for example to create a valid time-bound token.
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!
Sharing is caring - to simplify sharing Pacts between Consumers and Providers, we have created the Pact Broker.
The Broker:
Host your own, or signup for a free hosted Pact Broker.
let pact = require('@pact-foundation/pact-node');
let opts = {
...
};
pact.publishPacts(opts)).then(function () {
// do something
});
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
providerBaseUrl | false | string | Running API provider host endpoint. |
pactFilesOrDirs | true | array of strings | Array of local Pact files or directories containing pact files. Path must be absolute. Required. |
pactBroker | true | string | The base URL of the Pact Broker. eg. https://test.pact.dius.com.au. Required. |
pactBrokerUsername | false | string | Username for Pact Broker basic authentication. Optional |
pactBrokerPassword | false | string | Password for Pact Broker basic authentication. Optional |
consumerVersion | true | string | The consumer application version; e.g. '1.0.0-cac389f'. (See more info on versioning) |
tags | false | array of strings | Tag your pacts, often used with your branching, release or environment strategy e.g. ['prod', 'test'] |
If you're using a Pact Broker (e.g. a hosted one at https://pact.dius.com.au), you can publish your verification results so that consumers can query if they are safe to release.
It looks like this:
You need to specify the following when constructing the pact object:
let opts = {
provider: 'Animal Profile Service',
...
publishVerificationResult: true,
providerVersion: "1.0.0",
provider: "Foo",
}
NOTE: You need to be retrieving pacts from the broker for this feature to work.
Since version v6.0.0 or later
Modern distributed architectures are increasingly integrated in a decoupled, asynchronous fashion. Message queues such as ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, SQS, Kafka and Kinesis are common, often integrated via small and frequent numbers of microservices (e.g. lambda.).
Furthermore, the web has things like WebSockets which involve bidirectional messaging.
Pact supports these use cases, by abstracting away the protocol and focussing on the messages passing between them.
For further reading and introduction into this topic, see this article and our asynchronous examples for a more detailed overview of these concepts.
A Consumer is the system that will be reading a message from a queue or some other intermediary - like a DynamoDB table or S3 bucket - and be able to handle it.
From a Pact testing point of view, Pact takes the place of the intermediary (MQ/broker etc.) and confirms whether or not the consumer is able to handle a request.
The following test creates a contract for a Dog API handler:
const { MessageConsumerPact, Message, synchronousBodyHandler } = require("@pact-foundation/pact");
// 1 Dog API Handler
const dogApiHandler = function(dog) {
if (!dog.id && !dog.name && !dog.type) {
throw new Error("missing fields");
}
// do some other things to dog...
// e.g. dogRepository.save(dog)
return;
};
// 2 Pact Message Consumer
const messagePact = new MessageConsumerPact({
consumer: "MyJSMessageConsumer",
dir: path.resolve(process.cwd(), "pacts"),
pactfileWriteMode: "update",
provider: "MyJSMessageProvider",
});
describe("receive dog event", () => {
it("should accept a valid dog", () => {
// 3 Consumer expectations
return (messagePact
.given("some state")
.expectsToReceive("a request for a dog")
.withContent({
id: like(1),
name: like("rover"),
type: term({ generate: "bulldog", matcher: "^(bulldog|sheepdog)$" }),
})
.withMetadata({
"content-type": "application/json",
})
// 4 Verify consumers' ability to handle messages
.verify(synchronousBodyHandler(dogApiHandler))
);
});
});
Explanation:
Error if it can't handle it.
dog object with three fieldscontent attribute.(m: Message) => Promise<any> - that is, they must accept a Message and return a Promise. This is how we get around all of the various protocols, and will often require a lightweight adapter function to convert it.synchronousBodyHandler provided by Pact, which Promisifies the handler and extracts the contents.A Provider (Producer in messaging parlance) is the system that will be putting a message onto the queue.
As per the Consumer case, Pact takes the position of the intermediary (MQ/broker) and checks to see whether or not the Provider sends a message that matches the Consumer's expectations.
const { MessageProvider, Message } = require("@pact-foundation/pact");
// 1 Messaging integration client
const dogApiClient = {
createDog: () => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
resolve({
id: 1,
name: "fido",
type: "bulldog"
});
});
}
};
describe("Message provider tests", () => {
// 2 Pact setup
const p = new MessageProviderPact({
messageProviders: {
"a request for a dog": () => dogApiClient.createDog()
},
provider: "MyJSMessageProvider",
providerVersion: "1.0.0",
pactUrls: [path.resolve(process.cwd(), "pacts", "myjsmessageconsumer-myjsmessageprovider.json")],
});
// 3 Verify the interactions
describe("Dog API Client", () => {
it("should be a good Dog... message integration client", () => {
return p.verify();
});
});
});
Explanation:
createDog which is responsible for generating the message that will be sent to the consumer via some message queuemessageProviders block
description field. In this case, a request for a dog, maps to the createDog handler. Notice how this matches the original Consumer test.As per HTTP APIs, you can publish contracts and verification results to a Broker.
Matching makes your tests more expressive making your tests less brittle.
Rather than use hard-coded values which must then be present on the Provider side, you can use regular expressions and type matches on objects and arrays to validate the structure of your APIs.
NOTE: Make sure to start the mock service via the Pact declaration with the option specification: 2 to get access to these features.
Often times, you find yourself having to re-write regular expressions for common formats. We've created a number of them for you to save you the time:
| method | description |
|---|---|
boolean | Match a boolean value (using equality) |
integer | Will match all numbers that are integers (both ints and longs) |
decimal | Will match all real numbers (floating point and decimal) |
hexadecimal | Will match all hexadecimal encoded strings |
iso8601Date | Will match string containing basic ISO8601 dates (e.g. 2016-01-01) |
iso8601DateTime | Will match string containing ISO 8601 formatted dates (e.g. 2015-08-06T16:53:10+01:00) |
iso8601DateTimeWithMillis | Will match string containing ISO 8601 formatted dates, enforcing millisecond precision (e.g. 2015-08-06T16:53:10.123+01:00) |
rfc3339Timestamp | Will match a string containing an RFC3339 formatted timestapm (e.g. Mon, 31 Oct 2016 15:21:41 -0400) |
iso8601Time | Will match string containing times (e.g. T22:44:30.652Z) |
ipv4Address | Will match string containing IP4 formatted address |
ipv6Address | Will match string containing IP6 formatted address |
uuid | Will match strings containing UUIDs |
const { like } = Matchers;
provider.addInteraction({
state: "Has some animals",
uponReceiving: "a request for an animal",
withRequest: {
method: "GET",
path: "/animals/1"
},
willRespondWith: {
status: 200,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
},
body: {
id: 1,
name: like("Billy"),
address: like({
street: "123 Smith St",
suburb: "Smithsville",
postcode: 7777
})
}
}
});
Note that you can wrap a like around a single value or an object. When wrapped around an object, all values and child object values will be matched according to types, unless overridden by something more specific like a term.
Matching provides the ability to specify flexible length arrays. For example:
pact.eachLike(obj, { min: 3 });
Where obj can be any javascript object, value or Pact.Match. It takes optional argument ({ min: 3 }) where min is greater than 0 and defaults to 1 if not provided.
Below is an example that uses all of the Pact Matchers.
const { somethingLike: like, term, eachLike } = pact;
const animalBodyExpectation = {
id: 1,
first_name: "Billy",
last_name: "Goat",
animal: "goat",
age: 21,
gender: term({
matcher: "F|M",
generate: "M"
}),
location: {
description: "Melbourne Zoo",
country: "Australia",
post_code: 3000
},
eligibility: {
available: true,
previously_married: false
},
children: eachLike({ name: "Sally", age: 2 })
};
// Define animal list payload, reusing existing object matcher
// Note that using eachLike ensure that all values are matched by type
const animalListExpectation = eachLike(animalBodyExpectation, {
min: MIN_ANIMALS
});
provider.addInteraction({
state: "Has some animals",
uponReceiving: "a request for all animals",
withRequest: {
method: "GET",
path: "/animals/available"
},
willRespondWith: {
status: 200,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
},
body: animalListExpectation
}
});
If none of the above matchers or formats work, you can write your own regex matcher.
The underlying mock service is written in Ruby, so the regular expression must be in a Ruby format, not a Javascript format.
const { term } = pact;
provider.addInteraction({
state: "Has some animals",
uponReceiving: "a request for an animal",
withRequest: {
method: "GET",
path: "/animals/1"
},
willRespondWith: {
status: 200,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
},
body: {
id: 100,
name: "billy",
gender: term({
matcher: "F|M",
generate: "F"
})
}
}
});

Pact requires a Node runtime to be able to start and stop Mock servers, write logs and other things.
However, when used within browser or non-Node based environments - such as with Karma or ng-test - this is not possible.
To address this challenge, we have released a separate 'web' based module for this purpose - pact-web.
Whilst it still provides a testing DSL, it cannot start and stop mock servers as per the pact
package, so you will need to coordinate this yourself prior to and after executing any tests.
To get started, install pact-web and Pact Node:
npm install --save-dev @pact-foundation/pact-web @pact-foundation/pact-node
If you're not using Karma, you can start and stop the mock server using Pact Node or something like Grunt Pact.
We have create a plugin for Karma, which will automatically start and stop any Mock Server for your Pact tests.
Modify your karma.conf.js file as per below to get started:
// Load pact framework - this will start/stop mock server automatically
frameworks: ['pact'],
// Load the pact and default karma plugins
plugins: [
'karma-*',
'@pact-foundation/karma-pact'
],
// load pact web module
files: [
'node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-web/pact-web.js',
...
],
// Configure the mock service
pact: [{
port: 1234,
consumer: 'KarmaMochaConsumer',
provider: 'KarmaMochaProvider',
logLevel: 'DEBUG',
log: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'logs', 'pact.log'),
dir: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'pacts')
}],
Check out the Examples for how to use the Karma interface.
The module name should be "Pact" - not "pact-js". An example config with a karma test might look like the following:
In client-spec.js change the define to:
define(['client', 'Pact'], function (example, Pact) {
In test-main.js:
require.config({
baseUrl: "/base",
paths: {
Pact: "node_modules/pact-web/pact-web",
client: "js/client"
},
deps: allTestFiles,
callback: window.__karma__.start
});
See this Stack Overflow question for background, and this gist with a working example.
If you are having issues, a good place to start is setting logLevel: 'DEBUG'
when configuring the new Pact({...}) object.
Pact tests are inherently stateful, as we need to keep track of the interactions on a per-test basis, to ensure each contract is validated in isolation from others. However, in larger test suites, this can result in slower test execution.
Modern testing frameworks like Ava and Jest support parallel execution out-of-the-box, which
The good news is, parallel test execution is possible, you need to ensure that:
pactfileWriteMode to "merge", instructing Pact to merge any pact documents with the same consumer and provider pairing at the end of all test runs.When all of your tests have completed, the result is the union of the all of the interactions from each test case in the generated pact file.
See the following examples for working parallel tests:
Pact tests tend to be quite long, due to the need to be specific about request/response payloads. Often times it is nicer to be able to split your tests across multiple files for manageability.
You have a number of options to achieve this feat:
Consider implementing the Parallel tests guidelines.
Create a Pact test helper to orchestrate the setup and teardown of the mock service for multiple tests.
In larger test bases, this can significantly reduce test suite time and the amount of code you have to manage.
Set pactfileWriteMode to merge in the Pact() constructor
This will allow you to have multiple independent tests for a given Consumer-Provider pair, without it clobbering previous interactions, thereby allowing you to incrementally build up or modify your pact files.
This feature addresses the use case of "my pact suite takes bloody ages to run, so I just want to replace the interactions that have been run in this test execution" and requires careful management
NOTE: If using this approach, you must be careful to clear out existing pact files (e.g. rm ./pacts/*.json) before you run tests to ensure you don't have left over requests that are no longer relevent.
See this PR for background.
If you prefix your test command (e.g. npm t) with the following two environment variables, you can selectively run a specific interaction during provider verification.
For the e2e example, let's assume we have the following failure:
3 interactions, 2 failures
Failed interactions:
* A request for all animals given Has some animals
* A request for an animal with id 1 given Has an animal with ID 1
If we wanted to target the second failure, we can extract the description and state as the bits before and after the word "given":
PACT_DESCRIPTION="a request for an animal with ID 1" PACT_PROVIDER_STATE="Has an animal with ID 1" npm t
Also note that PACT_DESCRIPTION is the failing description and PACT_PROVIDER_STATE is the corresponding providerState from the pact file itself.
Under the hood, Pact JS spins up a Ruby Mock Service. On some systems, this may take more than a few seconds to start. It is recommended to review your unit testing timeout to ensure it has sufficient time to start the server.
See here for more details.
Jest uses JSDOM under the hood which may cause issues with libraries making HTTP request.
You'll need to add the following snippet to your package.json to ensure it uses
the proper Node environment:
"jest": {
"testEnvironment": "node"
}
Also, from Jest 20, you can add the environment to the top of the test file as a comment. This will allow your pact test to run along side the rest of your JSDOM env tests.
/**
* @jest-environment node
*/
Jest also runs tests in parallel by default, which can be problematic with Pact which is stateful. See parallel tests to see how to make it run in parallel, or run Jest with the --runInBand option to run them sequentially.
See this issue for background, and the Jest example for a working example.
If your standard tricks don't get you anywhere, setting the logLevel to DEBUG and increasing the timeout doesn't help and you don't know where else to look, it could be that the binaries we use to do much of the Pact magic aren't starting as expected.
Try starting the mock service manually and seeing if it comes up. When submitting a bug report, it would be worth running these commands before hand as it will greatly help us:
./node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-standalone/platforms/<platform>/bin/pact-mock-service
...and also the verifier (it will whinge about missing params, but that means it works):
./node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-standalone/platforms/darwin/bin/pact-provider-verifier
