pact-php-demo

Demo code from the talk on Consumer-Driven Contract testing with Pact and PHP

Dependencies

• I tested this on a clean Centos 7 minimal installation. There's a few packages you'll need to install:
  • sudo yum install fontconfig bzip2 wget php ruby rubygems
  • Install EPEL: http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-for-rhel-centos-6-5/
  • sudo yum install npm

How to use (consumer)

First, set up the consumer:

• Install Ruby and RubyGems (and ruby header files)
• Install Node and npm
• Make sure you're in the consumer directory
• Install dependencies: npm install
• Install karma cli: sudo npm install -g karma-cli
• Install bower: sudo npm install -g bower
• Install pact JavaScript component: bower install
• Install bundler: gem install bundler
• Install pact ruby component: bundle install
• Run the pact service: bundle exec pact-mock-service -p 1234 -l log/pact.logs --pact-dir tmp/pacts
• Run the tests (in another terminal): karma start
• Your pact file is now in tmp/pacts

How to use (provider)

Then set up the provider:

• Make sure you're in the provider directory
• Install composer: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
• Install PHP dependencies: php composer.phar install
• Install pact: bundle install
• Install rake: gem install rake
• Copy the pact file you just created into place: cp ../consumer/tmp/pacts/alligator_consumer-alligator_provider.json ./spec/pacts/
• Start up the API provider: php -S localhost:8000
• Now run pact to verify it works (in another terminal): rake pact:verify:alligator
