6. Testing our first plugin

Test our plugin

We have created a basic Pact JS test using the new PactV4 interface that supports plugins, and the new interaction types.

Now that we have built and installed the plugin locally, we can test that it works.

As we iterate on the plugin, it's helpful to have a development cycle that allows you to make rapid changes.

Run the tests

Open up the plugin.consumer.spec.ts and also the provider test plugin.provider.spec.ts to see how the plugin is used in an HTTP interaction. Note the plugin can also be used in other interaction types and transports provided by other plugins

cd ~/example-project-js-foobar-plugin
npm t
