TCPServer Error: Cannot assign requested address - bind(2) for "::1" port

What's your /etc/hosts look like? I was able to resolve by commenting out

::1	localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

but it's less than desirable...

Try setting an explicit --host=0.0.0.0 and --port=1234

@dursk I have tried your option, it works, but the mock service is not accessible from outside the container.
@bethesque I have tried your option and it is working as expected, and the mock service is accessible from outside the container.

netstat results after applying both options
Option 1
tcp 0 localhost:1234 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Option 2
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1234 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

ATM the second option is not viable for me as I'm using a wrapper library is there is a way to achieve the same netstat results but without passing --host flag?

I'm already working with the consumer library to have that option open in the API.

Thanks very much and appreciate your time.

Neil should be able to get the fix out pretty quickly. The only other option is to do a small hack to the ruby file. Somewhere inside the .net code will be the ruby-standalone package. You'll have to do some exploring because I don't know where that is. Open up pact/lib/vendor/ruby/2.2.0/gems/pact-mock_service-{LATEST_VERSION}/lib/pact/mock_service/cli.rb

Find the line with desc 'start' (about line 52) then find the line method_option :host, aliases: "-h", desc: "Host on which to bind the service", default: 'localhost' Change the 'localhost' to '0.0.0.0'.

I believe the .net impl might actually be using the service command, so change the default in that one too (about line 20).
