I want to get started with Pact to enable Consumer Driven Contracts for our asynchronous message stream architecture. Having read through most of the documentation and getting started guides by pact-foundation I tried to follow the example from https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/tree/master/examples/messages. For now I only need the Consumer side of the Pact creation.
When I run
npm i
npm run test:consumer
I receive the following error on debug level:

[2020-04-02T09:30:20.000Z] DEBUG: [email protected]/15568 on MYPC:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Then I tracked it down to the call of
.verify(synchronousBodyHandler(dogApiHandler))
inside message-consumer.spec.ts which ultimately leads to the class Spawn that lives in spawn.ts within the pact-node repository of the pact-foundation.
For the example to properly call the Pact Creation logic I had to change the package.json file:
"test:consumer": "nyc --check-coverage --reporter=html --reporter=text-summary mocha consumer/*.spec.ts"
to
"test:consumer": "nyc --check-coverage --reporter=html --reporter=text-summary ts-mocha consumer/*.spec.ts"
I am running out of ideas, since my javascript/node.js/typescript skills are rather limited. Would appreciate any help. Thanks and Cheers, pypapo
This looks like it might be a bug with the example on Windows - could you please be so kind to raise this on the Pact JS repository? It should run on our Appveyor builds, but perhaps there is something we haven't considered.
