Pact PHP

PHP version of Pact. Enables consumer driven contract testing. Please read the Pact.io for specific information about PACT.

The easiest way to configure this is to use a PHPUnit Listener. A default listener is included in this project, see PactTestListener.php. This utilizes environmental variables for configurations. These env variables can either be added to the system or to the phpunit.xml configuration file. Here is an example phpunit.xml file configured to use the default. Keep in mind that both the test suite and the arguments array must be the same value.

Alternatively, you can start and stop as in whatever means you would like by following this example:

<?php
    use PhpPact\Standalone\MockService\MockServer;
    use PhpPact\Standalone\MockService\MockServerConfig;

    // Create your basic configuration. The host and port will need to match
    // whatever your Http Service will be using to access the providers data.
    $config = new MockServerConfig();
    $config->setHost('localhost');
    $config->setPort(7200);
    $config->setConsumer('someConsumer');
    $config->setProvider('someProvider');
    $config->setCors(true);

    // Instantiate the mock server object with the config. This can be any
    // instance of MockServerConfigInterface.
    $server = new MockServer($config);

    // Create the process.
    $server->start();

    // Stop the process.
    $server->stop();

Create Consumer Unit Test

Create a standard PHPUnit test case class and function.

Click here to see the full sample file.

Create Mock Request

This will define what the expected request coming from your http service will look like.

$request = new ConsumerRequest();
$request
    ->setMethod('GET')
    ->setPath('/hello/Bob')
    ->addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

You can also create a body just like you will see in the provider example.

Create Mock Response

This will define what the response from the provider should look like.

$matcher = new Matcher();

$response = new ProviderResponse();
$response
    ->setStatus(200)
    ->addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    ->setBody([
        'message' => $matcher->regex('Hello, Bob', '(Hello, )[A-Za-z]')
    ]);

In this example, we are using matchers. This allows us to add flexible rules when matching the expectation with the actual value. In the example, you will see regex is used to validate that the response is valid.

$matcher = new Matcher();

$response = new ProviderResponse();
$response
    ->setStatus(200)
    ->addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    ->setBody([
        'list' => $matcher->eachLike([
            'firstName' => 'Bob',
            'age' => 22
        ])
    ]);

Build the Interaction

Now that we have the request and response, we need to build the interaction and ship it over to the mock server.

// Create a configuration that reflects the server that was started. You can
// create a custom MockServerConfigInterface if needed. This configuration
// is the same that is used via the PactTestListener and uses environment variables.
$config  = new MockServerEnvConfig();
$builder = new InteractionBuilder($config);
$builder
    ->given('a person exists')
    ->uponReceiving('a get request to /hello/{name}')
    ->with($request)
    ->willRespondWith($response); // This has to be last. This is what makes an API request to the Mock Server to set the interaction.

Make the Request

$service = new HttpClientService($config->getBaseUri()); // Pass in the URL to the Mock Server.
$result  = $service->getHelloString('Bob'); // Make the real API request against the Mock Server.

Verify Interactions

Verify that all interactions took place that were registered. This typically should be in each test, that way the test that failed to verify is marked correctly.

$builder->verify();

Make Assertions

Verify that the data you would expect given the response configured is correct.

$this->assertEquals('Hello, Bob', $result); // Make your assertions.

Basic Provider Usage

All of the following code will be used exclusively for Providers. This will run the Pacts against the real Provider and either verify or fail validation on the Pact Broker.

Create Unit Test

Create a single unit test function. This will test a single consumer of the service.

Start API

Get an instance of the API up and running. Click here for some tips.

If you need to set up the state of your API before making each request please see Set Up Provider State.

Provider Verification

There are three ways to verify Pact files. See the examples below.

Verify From Pact Broker

This will grab the Pact file from a Pact Broker and run the data against the stood up API.

$config = new VerifierConfig();
$config
    ->setProviderName('someProvider') // Providers name to fetch.
    ->setProviderVersion('1.0.0') // Providers version.
    ->setProviderBranch('main') // Providers git branch name.
    ->setProviderBaseUrl(new Uri('http://localhost:58000')) // URL of the Provider.
    ->setBrokerUri(new Uri('http://localhost')) // URL of the Pact Broker to publish results.
    ->setPublishResults(true) // Flag the verifier service to publish the results to the Pact Broker.
    ->setProcessTimeout(60)      // Set process timeout (optional) - default 60
    ->setProcessIdleTimeout(10) // Set process idle timeout (optional) - default 10
    ->setEnablePending(true) // Flag to enable pending pacts feature (check pact docs for further info)
    ->setIncludeWipPactSince('2020-01-30') //Start date of WIP Pacts (check pact docs for further info)
    ->setRequestFilter(
        function (RequestInterface $r) {
            return $r->withHeader('MY_SPECIAL_HEADER', 'my special value');
        }
    );
// Verify that the Consumer 'someConsumer' that is tagged with 'master' is valid.
$verifier = new Verifier($config);
$verifier->verify('someConsumer', 'master'); // The tag is option. If no tag is set it will just grab the latest.

// This will not be reached if the PACT verifier throws an error, otherwise it was successful.
$this->assertTrue(true, 'Pact Verification has failed.');

Verify All from Pact Broker

This will grab every Pact file associated with the given provider.

public function testPactVerifyAll()
{
    $config = new VerifierConfig();
    $config
        ->setProviderName('someProvider') // Providers name to fetch.
        ->setProviderVersion('1.0.0') // Providers version.
        ->setProviderBranch('main') // Providers git branch name.
        ->setProviderBaseUrl(new Uri('http://localhost:58000')) // URL of the Provider.
        ->setBrokerUri(new Uri('http://localhost')) // URL of the Pact Broker to publish results.
        ->setPublishResults(true) // Flag the verifier service to publish the results to the Pact Broker.
        ->setEnablePending(true) // Flag to enable pending pacts feature (check pact docs for further info)
        ->setIncludeWipPactSince('2020-01-30') //Start date of WIP Pacts (check pact docs for further info)

    // Verify that all consumers of 'someProvider' are valid.
    $verifier = new Verifier($config);
    $verifier->verifyAll();

    // This will not be reached if the PACT verifier throws an error, otherwise it was successful.
    $this->assertTrue(true, 'Pact Verification has failed.');
}

Verify Files by Path

This allows local Pact file testing.

public function testPactVerifyAll()
{
    $config = new VerifierConfig();
    $config
        ->setProviderName('someProvider') // Providers name to fetch.
        ->setProviderVersion('1.0.0') // Providers version.
        ->setProviderBranch('main') // Providers git branch name.
        ->setProviderBaseUrl(new Uri('http://localhost:58000')) // URL of the Provider.
        ->setBrokerUri(new Uri('http://localhost')) // URL of the Pact Broker to publish results.
        ->setPublishResults(true); // Flag the verifier service to publish the results to the Pact Broker.
        ->setEnablePending(true) // Flag to enable pending pacts feature (check pact docs for further info)
        ->setIncludeWipPactSince('2020-01-30') //Start date of WIP Pacts (check pact docs for further info)

    // Verify that the files in the array are valid.
    $verifier = new Verifier($config);
    $verifier->verifyFiles(['C:\SomePath\consumer-provider.json']);

    // This will not be reached if the PACT verifier throws an error, otherwise it was successful.
    $this->assertTrue(true, 'Pact Verification has failed.');
}

Tips

Starting API Asynchronously

You can use the built in PHP server to accomplish this during your tests setUp function. The Symfony Process library can be used to run the process asynchronous.

PHP Server

Symfony Process

Set Up Provider State

The PACT verifier is a wrapper of the Ruby Standalone Verifier. See API with Provider States for more information on how this works. Since most PHP rest APIs are stateless, this required some thought.

Here are some options:

Write the posted state to a file and use a factory to decide which mock repository class to use based on the state.
Set up your database to meet the expectations of the request. At the start of each request, you should first reset the database to its original state.

No matter which direction you go, you will have to modify something outside of the PHP process because each request to your server will be stateless and independent.

Additional Examples

There is a separate repository with an end to end example for both the 2.X and 3.X implementations.

pact-php-example for 3.X examples
2.2.1 tag for 2.X examples

Message support

This feature is preliminary as the Pact community as a whole is flushing this out. The goal is not to test the transmission of an object over a bus but instead vet the contents of the message. While examples included focus on a Rabbit MQ, the exact message queue is irrelevant. Initial comparisons require a certain object type to be created by the Publisher/Producer and the Consumer of the message. This includes a metadata set where you can store the key, queue, exchange, etc that the Publisher and Consumer agree on. The content format needs to be JSON.

To take advantage of the existing pact-verification tools, the provider side of the equation stands up an http proxy to callback to processing class. Aside from changing default ports, this should be transparent to the users of the libary.

Both the provider and consumer side make heavy use of lambda functions.

Consumer Side Message Processing

The examples provided are pretty basic. See examples\tests\MessageConsumer.

Create the content and metadata (array)
Annotate the MessageBuilder appropriate content and states
1. Given = Provider State
2. expectsToReceive = Description
Set the callback you want to run when a message is provided
1. The callback must accept a JSON string as a parameter
Run Verify. If nothing blows up, #winning.

$builder    = new MessageBuilder(self::$config);

$contents       = new \stdClass();
$contents->song = 'And the wind whispers Mary';

$metadata = ['queue'=>'And the clowns have all gone to bed', 'routing_key'=>'And the clowns have all gone to bed'];

$builder
    ->given('You can hear happiness staggering on down the street')
    ->expectsToReceive('footprints dressed in red')
    ->withMetadata($metadata)
    ->withContent($contents);

// established mechanism to this via callbacks
$consumerMessage = new ExampleMessageConsumer();
$callback        = [$consumerMessage, 'ProcessSong'];
$builder->setCallback($callback);

$builder->verify();

Provider Side Message Validation

This may evolve as we work through this implementation. The provider relies heavily on callbacks. Some of the complexity lies in a consumer and provider having many messages and states between the each other in a single pact.

For each message, one needs to provide a single provider state. The name of this provider state must be the key to run a particular message callback on the provider side. See example\tests\MessageProvider

Create your callbacks and states wrapped in a callable object
1. The array key is a provider state / given() on the consumer side
2. It is helpful to wrap the whole thing in a lambda if you need to customize paramaters to be passed in
Choose your verification method
If nothing explodes, #winning

        $callbacks = array();

        // a hello message is a provider state / given() on the consumer side
        $callbacks["a hello message"] = function() {
            $content = new \stdClass();
            $content->text ="Hello Mary";

            $metadata = array();
            $metadata['queue'] = "myKey";

            $provider = (new ExampleMessageProvider())
                ->setContents($content)
                ->setMetadata($metadata);

            return $provider->Build();
        };

        $verifier = (new MessageVerifier($config))
            ->setCallbacks($callbacks)
            ->verifyFiles([__DIR__ . '/../../output/test_consumer-test_provider.json']);

Usage for the optional `pact-stub-service`

If you would like to test with fixtures, you can use the pact-stub-service like this:

$pactLocation             = __DIR__ . '/someconsumer-someprovider.json';
$host                     = 'localhost';
$port                     = 7201;
$endpoint                 = 'test';

$config = (new StubServerConfig())
            ->setPactLocation($pactLocation)
            ->setHost($host)
            ->setPort($port)
            ->setEndpoint($endpoint);

$stubServer = new StubServer($config);
$stubServer->start();

$service = new StubServerHttpService(new GuzzleClient(), $config);

echo $service->getJson(); // output: {"results":[{"name":"Games"}]}
