While running Pact- Karma-Mocha framework, getting error - 'Can't find variable: Pact'

I am trying to get sample PACT JS framework (any variant) running for Contract testing. Initial plan is just to get the sample(s) provided get running & then later on make changes into End point and customise for our own purpose.

PACT Foundation link: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/tree/master/karma/mocha Environment:

Win 7 Node: v8.11.4 dependencies installed: "@pact-foundation/karma-pact": { "version": "2.1.8", "@pact-foundation/pact-node": { "version": "6.19.11",

I am getting following error while trying to get it running.

Kindly advise, Thanks a lot

Solution

  • The code is failing because it's missing pact-web. You can see this in the error message you included:

    Pattern "C:/dist-web/pact-web.js" does not match any file.

    This is happening because you're using the example karma.conf.js outside the example repository without modification.

    Quoting the relevant part of karma.conf.js:

    // if you are using this example to setup your own project 
// load pact from the node_modules directory
'../../dist-web/pact-web.js',
// Example Using NPM package
// 'node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-web/pact-web.js',

    Looking at your directory structure, commenting this line:

    '../../dist-web/pact-web.js',

    and uncommenting this line:

    // 'node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-web/pact-web.js',

    should solve your problem.

    Note that you also need to ensure that @pact-foundation/pact-web is a dev-dependency:

    npm install --save-dev '@pact-foundation/pact-web'
