Unable to run Pact in Ubuntu 18.04 running in Docker on M1

[mvaljento]

My apologies if this is not a Pact issue per se, however I'm unable to find ways to debug the problem.

I was running a pact dev server on my earlier Mac (not M1) in Docker on a Ubuntu image without a problem. After upgrading to M1 machine, Pact is responding extremely slowly to commands and is killed if I try to deploy a contract.

For example running

pact -s config.yaml &

pact -a /pact/src/load-hello-world.yaml | curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- http://localhost:8080/api/v1/send

It takes about ten seconds for the server process to start listening and after running the send command the Pact server process simply says "Killed" and exits with no other errors either with the command or the server. I've tried multiple commands which worked perfectly before the upgrade. I'm running Pact 4.2.1.

Here's the server output (it will keep listening with no other output before the last line):

Still the same issue after upgrading to Pact v4.3.1. I noticed the moment just running "pact" to get the Pact prompt it takes a long time for the prompt to start and the memory maxes out at 6.7 GB which Docker has allocated for that container. Simple Pact commands within the prompt work fine. I wonder if it has something to do with the file system.

Thanks for filing this @mvaljento - sorry for getting back to you after such a long time period! We'll take a look at this and see if we can't reproduce on our machines
