Gradle provider verification from pact file

[coco1979ka]

Hi,

I'm currently struggling with setting up a provider verification with the gradle plugin. My configuration in build.gradle.kts looks like this:

pact {
    serviceProviders {
        create("my-provider") {
            verificationType = au.com.dius.pact.provider.PactVerification.ANNOTATED_METHOD
            packagesToScan = listOf("bar.foo.backend")

            hasPactWith("my-consumer", closureOf<GradleConsumerInfo>{
                pactSource = file("path/to/my/pactfile")
            } as Closure<GradleConsumerInfo>)
        }
    }
}

When I try to run the task pactVerify it throws an error: Cannot invoke "au.com.dius.pact.provider.gradle.Broker.getPactBrokerUsername()" because the return value of "au.com.dius.pact.provider.gradle.PactPluginExtension.getBroker()" is null

Same happens when I do the same configuration with grade DSL. I wonder why the broker object is required to be present, if I'm using hasPactWith and providing a file path.
