Require a way to validate a pact against a running server

Regarding @bethesque's note to self, this is what we're doing at the moment:

require 'rack/reverse_proxy'
class Proxy < Sinatra::Base
  use Rack::ReverseProxy do
    reverse_proxy '/', 'http://monolith/'
  end
end

Pact.service_provider "Horrific Monolith" do
  app { Proxy.new }
end

We could probably do it with just plain Rack.

Nice, thanks for the snippet.

Ok, I've made a pact-proxy gem

https://github.com/bethesque/pact-proxy

@uglyog Not sure about some names.

pact-proxy or pact-provider-proxy ?
task.app_base_url or task.provider_base_url ?
Pact::ProxyVerificationTask or Pact::ProviderProxyVerificationTask ?

Give me cache invalidation any day over naming things...

[bethesque]

Having given it 5 minutes thought, I think that pact-provider-proxy might be a better name, because we may want to divide pact up into pact-provider and pact-consumer at some stage. I know Brent has started out that way.

Tagging @jagregory Would love you to road test pact-proxy (or pact-provider-proxy as it may be called by then!) and let me know what you think.

[jagregory]

I'm up for that. I'll give it a go on Monday.

Hey @jagregory, did you ever get to test this? I'd like to close this issue, but would love a 2nd party to test it.

[bethesque]

Closing.
