Gradle task pactPublish fails (400 bad request) and does not print error message

[borwoj]

Steps to reproduce

1. Write a JUnit 5 test
2. Run the test
3. A contract JSON file is created
4. Run ./gradlew pactPublish

Expected:

• If success: 201 Created
• If error: a detailed error message is presented

Actual:

> Task :pactPublish FAILED
PUT JSON request failed with status HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Publishing 'Android App-Some Api.json' ... Failed

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
One or more of the pact files were rejected by the pact broker

However, publishing the exact same JSON to the exact same broker using cURL works just fine:

curl -X "PUT" "https://.../pacts/provider/Some%20Api/consumer/Android%20App/version/0.0.1
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
     -d $'{...}'

Response: 201 Created

Configuration

build.gradle (app level)

pact {
  publish {
    pactDirectory = 'app/target/pacts'
    pactBrokerUrl = 'https://...'
    pactBrokerUsername = '' // no authentication
    pactBrokerPassword = '' // no authentication
  }
}
...
testImplementation 'au.com.dius:pact-jvm-consumer-junit5:4.0.10'

build.gradle (project level)

plugins {
  id "au.com.dius.pact" version "4.1.2"
}

Do you have an idea of what may be needed for the publish task to work?
