gradle pactVerify failed (Task with path testClasses not found)

[vinogradoff]

build.gradle

plugins {
  id "au.com.dius.pact" version "3.2.11"
}

pact {
    serviceProviders {
        providerSales {
            protocol = 'http'
            host = 'localhost'
            port = 5006
            path = '/lookupservice'

            hasPactsWith('manyConsumers') {
                pactFileLocation = file('pacts')
            }
        }
    }
}

One pact file is saved under ./pacts/

PS C:\Users\avinogradov> gradle pactVerify

What test classes? I though verification can be run against running provider with just pact file, can't it?

You are correct, except for verifying messages the test class path is used. I'll put a change in to only add the testClasses if it exists in the project.

In the mean time, just add the java plugin to your build.gradle.

Hi @uglyog , I met an issue recently.I added the spring dev tools plugin into my project. And when I run pactVerify task it will run the testClasses task. after testClassed finished, it will trigger the dev tools to restart the application which caused the pactVerify fail.

@pei-wang could you include the error and stack trace?
