PACT-JVM problems with closeArray

Question

So I'm only starting to use JVM-PACT.

I'm trying to crate this JSON

{
  "elements": [
    {
      "Location": {
        "id": "loc_id1",
        "Addr": {
          "Addr1": {
            "value": "545 Test Street"
          },
          "City": {
            "value": "New York City"
          },
          "StateProvCd": {
            "value": "NY"
          },
          "PostalCode": {
            "value": "11111"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Trying to do this: but it keeps on crashing when trying to call closeArray()

DslPart body = new PactDslJsonBody()
            .eachLike("elements")
                .object("Location")                 
                    .stringType("id","loc_id1")                 
                    .object("Addr")                     
                        .object("Addr1")
                            .stringType("value", "545 Test Street")
                        .closeObject()
                        .object("City")
                            .stringType("value", "New York City")
                        .closeObject()
                        .object("StateProvCd")
                            .stringType("value", "NY")
                        .closeObject()
                        .object("PostalCode")
                            .stringType("value", "11111")
                        .closeObject()
                    .closeObject()
                .closeObject()
            .closeArray();

I know it says " can't call closeArray on an Object" but it is definitely trying to close the "eachLike"

Any suggestions would be very helpful

Don't you need to close the last object? The one within the array containing location? You're closing the Location ibject, but forgetting that you're not closing the object containing the Location. I know it's a tad confusing with the DSL because arrays opens up a new object, we might have to look into making that better.

DslPart body = new PactDslJsonBody()
            .eachLike("elements")
                // New Object in Array starts here
                .object("Location")                 
                    .stringType("id","loc_id1")                 
                    .object("Addr")                     
                        .object("Addr1")
                            .stringType("value", "545 Test Street")
                            .closeObject()
                        .object("City")
                            .stringType("value", "New York City")
                            .closeObject()
                        .object("StateProvCd")
                            .stringType("value", "NY")
                            .closeObject()
                        .object("PostalCode")
                            .stringType("value", "11111")
                            .closeObject()
                        .closeObject()
                    .closeObject()
                // Array object needs to close here
                .closeObject()
            .closeArray();
