Contract testing POC

This is a POC accomplished during Innovate 2023 - Fall Edition.

The goal was to test the full loop of contract testing using PACT.

The setup:

  1. A Scala client (consumer) that mimics the SearchAPI in our infrastructure.
  2. A Java server (provider) that mimics the micro-service that expose ML models.
  3. A Pact broker leveraged to share pacts between consumer/provider.

The flow:

  1. Start the broker using docker-compose up
  2. Write Pacts in the Scala Client
  3. Validate the pacts locally against a mock server.
  4. Bump the version of the library (in build.sbt)
  5. Publish the pacts using sbt pactPublish
  6. Run the test in the ml-service. If needed, add more state fixtures.
  7. Validate the state of the pacts in the broker.
  8. Also, you can validate if you can deploy using: pact-broker can-i-deploy --pacticipant searchapi --version 1.0.0 --broker-base-url http://localhost:9292
