Feature Request - MessagePact - Lambda - support Request response style messages/requests

[cpothier]

Software versions

Mac OSX - 10.14.5 "@pact-foundation/pact": "^8.2.6",

• Node Version: v10.16.0

I need a way to test a contract between 2 lambdas with direct invokes and response style messaging. For example, I have 2 Lambdas. We'll call them lambda 1 and lambda 2. Lambda 1 directly invokes lambda 2 and waits for the response from the lambda function. To me its almost like Rest API call with request and response but I cant figure out how to do this with Pact and lambda. Looks like the messaging feature does not support this and it would be very helpful.

Not sure how to get around this at the moment.

Thanks @cpothier.

I think it can be related to this feature request: https://pact.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-multiple-protocols-of-pact-for-the-same-application

Sure is @jeesus. I'll add it to the #413 backlog. There is another type of async we should look to eventually support also - "event" types, where the provider is not known. But this will require much more wide-reaching changes as the broker doesn't support it and all of the clients will need to know about it.
