Option to set dynamic provider names (CI/CD in Java without maven plugin)

[spspunkt-team]

Hello,

We have a scenario, where a provider test (Java, Junit5, Pact Broker & Quarkus-Test as API-Provider) should be executed in CI/CD. Therefor, the provider name should be set from CI/CD:

@QuarkusTest
@Provider("my-project-name-from-CI-CD") // is there an API for setting the name at runtime?
@PactBroker(host = "${pactbroker.host}", port = "${pactbroker.port}")
public class PactDemoIT {

	@BeforeAll
	static void init() {
		System.setProperty("pact.provider.version", System.getProperty("project.version", "unkown"));
		System.setProperty("pact.verifier.publishResults", "true");
	}

	@TestTemplate
	@ExtendWith(PactVerificationInvocationContextProvider.class)
	void pactVerificationTestTemplate(PactVerificationContext context) {
		context.verifyInteraction();
	}

	@BeforeEach
	void init(PactVerificationContext context) throws Exception {
		context.setTarget(HttpTestTarget.fromUrl(new URL(RestAssured.baseURI + ":" + RestAssured.port)));
	}

	@State({ "datastage0" })
	void initState() {
	}
}

You can now leave the provider name out (the annotation is still required), and use the pact.provider.name system property.

You should also be setting these values from your CI/CD pipeline:

        @BeforeAll
	static void init() {
		System.setProperty("pact.provider.version", System.getProperty("project.version", "unkown"));
		System.setProperty("pact.verifier.publishResults", "true");
	}
