How do I verify pacts against an API that requires an auth token?

Question

I\'m using the Pact gem (and loving it!) for my contract test suite. The API service I\'m testing requires an authorization token for all requests.

I know how to genera

The Ruby implementation of Pact doesn't support this directly as per the JVM implementation.

If you're using the Pact Provider Proxy gem, you could take a look at some of the options discussed at https://github.com/realestate-com-au/pact/issues/49#issuecomment-65346357 and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pact-support/tSyKZMxsECk.

An example might look something like:

class ProxyApp

  def initialize real_app
    @real_app = real_app
  end

  def call env
    @real_app.call(env.merge('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' => '12345'))
  end
end

Pact.service_provider "Some Provider" do
  app do
    ProxyApp.new(RealApp)
  end

  honours_pact_with "Some Consumer" do
    #...
  end
end
