Pact Test Generator

Generate Python test cases from Pact files, for easier provider verification.

• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://pact-testgen.readthedocs.io.

Features

• Test Pact contracts against your Python providers via unit tests. Get test isolation for free.

• pact-testgen creates test cases from your Pact files, with placeholders for defining provider states.

Getting Started

Install with pip

python -m pip install pact-testgen

Generate test files

Generate a provider_states.py and test_pact.py files in your tests directory:

pact-testgen /path/to/pactfile.json /tests/dir

For more details, see the Usage section of the documentation.

Fill in the generated provider states file

In your tests directory (passed as the second argument to pact-testgen), you’ll see a file named provider_states.py. It will contain set up functions matching the provider states defined in your pact file.

Before continuing, complete these functions so that they create the required states.

Run your tests

Run your test suite as normal, being sure to check the the test runner has picked up your new test_pact.py file.
