How do I get the Mocha example to work

[theGhostJW]

Hi,
I have copied the Mocha example and updated it for Typescript in this repo.

When I run npm or yarn test (Windows 10) I get the following:

  2 failing

  1) Pact between MyConsumer and MyProvider
       with 30000 ms timeout for Pact
         get /dogs
           returns the correct response:
     Error: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:8992
      at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1158:16)

  2) Pact between MyConsumer and MyProvider
       with 30000 ms timeout for Pact
         "after each" hook: MochaPactVerifyAfterEach for "returns the correct response":
     Error: Pact verification failed - expected interactions did not match actual.
      at new VerificationError (node_modules\@pact-foundation\pact\src\errors\verificationError.js:19:42)
      at C:\pact-play\node_modules\@pact-foundation\src\httpPact.ts:157:17
      at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

Looks like I am not getting a connection to the mock server. I have also tried just coping the directory without modification and running npm install then npm test. This gives me the same result.

What else do I need to do to make this work?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

It looks like it could be an ipv6 issue. Could you please try binding explicitly to an address (not a hostname).

e.g. 127.0.0.1

yep that fixed it.
Thanks @mefellows !!!

I just ran your repository locally and got this

  Pact between MyConsumer and MyProvider
    with 30000 ms timeout for Pact
      get /dogs
        ✔ returns the correct response
      get /dog/1
        ✔ returns the correct response


  2 passing (7s)

➜  pact-play git:(main) ✗

Could you please set log level to debug and share the output?

I see you're on windows, so it could be the long path issue (search issues for that). Trying moving project closer to c:\
