Path: /pacticipants

“Pacticipant” - a party that participates in a pact (ie. a Consumer or a Provider).

Creating pacticipants

When publishing pacts

Participants are created automatically when a pact is published to the pact broker. The name is based on the URL compontents used to publish the pact (ie. /pacts/provider/$PROVIDER_NAME/consumer/$CONSUMER_NAME/version/$CONSUMER_VERSION), not on the contents of the pact, as the Pact Broker is designed to be agnostic of the actual pact format as much as possible.

Explicitly

$ curl -X POST http://pact-broker/pacticipants \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/hal+json" \
  -d '{ "name": "my-consumer", "displayName": "My Consumer" }'

Properties:

name: The name that will be used to identify the pacticipant in URLs. displayName: The name to display in the UI repositoryUrl: The URL at which to view the repository in a browser. repositoryName: The name of the repository, without any namespace. repositoryNamespace: The namespace of the repository (called “organization” in Github).

Deleting pacticipants

Deleting a pacticipant will delete all associated pacts, versions, tags and webhooks. To delete a pacticipant, send a DELETE request to the relevant pacticipant URL via the HAL browser or any other HTTP client.

$ curl -X DELETE http://pact-broker/pacticipants/My%20Consumer
