This workbench demonstrates how to do consumer driven contract development (CDC) by using the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier.
It is inspired by a talk from Josh Long given on October, 3rd 2018 on YouTube for the v JUG.
You can find Joshs example using reactive paradigms at GitHub: bootiful-testing

This workbench contains an application offering a REST api (producer) and another application that implements a client to access this service (consumer).
The contract stubs are build and tested by a regular gradle build.
If you want to perform the generation of contract tests as a separate task, you can use the following command:
$ ./gradlew :contract-producer:generateContractTests :contract-producer:test
The following command will then publish the generated (and tested) stubs to the local maven repository:
$ ./gradlew :contract-producer:publishToMavenLocal
To build and test the consumer use ./gradlew :contract-consumer:check. This will pull
the test stubs generated by the producer from the local maven repository and use them for
running the tests.
