Pact V3 Tracking Issue

[YOU54F]

We would like to implement Pact V3 Specification support for Pact Ruby

Current status

• Initial 3.0.0 support for asynchronous message pact via pact-message-ruby
• Initial support for providerStates
  • ⚠️ Currently only supports the first providerStates array entry
  • ⚠️ Currently does not support providerStates params

Required V3 Features

• Generators
  • Partially implemented in feat(generators): Add ProviderState generator & others #273
• Matchers
  • Combined matchers initial work started here
    • Initial support for specification v3 combined matchers pact-support#86
• Provider States
  • Support providerStates array and params.
• HTTP V3 support
• Block any unsupported features for versions less than V3

Implementation notes

• Strong consideration should be made for incorporating pact_ffi functionality (see Pact FFI Tracking Issue #317) rather than re-implementing in ruby

Validation

• The pact-compatibility-suite should be considered for cross language validation
  • https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-compatibility-suite
• Tests should be added to showcase new features

Date	format (Optional)	Generates a Date value from the current date either in ISO format or using the provided format string	{ "type": "Date", "format": "MM/dd/yyyy" }
Time	format (Optional)	Generates a Time value from the current time either in ISO format or using the provided format string	{ "type": "Time", "format": "HH:mm" }

V3 Matchers

matcher	Spec Version	example configuration	description
Include	V3	{ "match": "include", "value": "substr" }	This checks if the string representation of a value contains the substring.
Integer	V3	{ "match": "integer" }	This checks if the type of the value is an integer.
Decimal	V3	{ "match": "decimal" }	This checks if the type of the value is a number with decimal places.
Number	V3	{ "match": "number" }	This checks if the type of the value is a number.
Timestamp	V3	{ "match": "datetime", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:ss:mm" }	Matches the string representation of a value against the datetime format
Time	V3	{ "match": "time", "format": "HH:ss:mm" }	Matches the string representation of a value against the time format
Date	V3	{ "match": "date", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd" }	Matches the string representation of a value against the date format
Null	V3	{ "match": "null" }	Match if the value is a null value (this is content specific, for JSON will match a JSON null)
Boolean	V3	{ "match": "boolean" }	Match if the value is a boolean value (booleans and the string values true and false)
ContentType	V3	{ "match": "contentType", "value": "image/jpeg" }	Match binary data by its content type (magic file check)
Values	V3	{ "match": "values" }	Match the values in a map, ignoring the keys
