Spring project with Cloud Contract and PACT not auto-generating the Provider test class

[rodrigow]

Describe the bug Started a new Spring Gradle project from spring: Gradle/Java17/Spring Web/Spring cloud contract provider. Created Pact Broker server locally. Added a "Consumer" test. Configured Contracts to have PACT Broker server. Running ./gradlew contractTest downloads the JSON but no auto-generated classes in the $build folder.

Using the ./gradlew contractTest -d (for debug logs) I can see that there are some messages from the ContractFileScanner:

Have you added Pact converter to the classpath? Check this part of the docs https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-contract/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#how-to-pact-producer

[rodrigow]

I believe you are referring to the spring-cloud-contract-pact, right? It is there. Please let me know if you are not referring to this dependency.

In time: The code snippet of 7.4. Pact for Producers seems to be missing. I've found it in another "location", 7.4. Pact for Producers

[marcingrzejszczak]

Yeah that was the part I was referring to. I need to see a reproducer. Without it it's hard to even wonder what could possibly be wrong.

[rodrigow]

I'm not sure what a "reproducer" would be. Were you able to download the project and run the ./gradlew contractTest ?

[marcingrzejszczak]

Wow, I need to change my glasses - I haven't noticed that you provided a sample. :facepalm:

[rodrigow]

No need to apologize, maybe I should have been more clear about the sample...
