Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

Prerequisites

  • I'm using the latest version of pact-python.
  • I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

When using MessageConsumer and attempting to set an iso_8601_datetime matcher, the pact file generation fails on Windows. This issue does not occur on Linux, where it works as expected.

Reproducible demo

No response

Steps to reproduce

Run this script on windows:

# consumer.py
from pact import MessageConsumer, Provider, matchers


# Função principal do consumer
def run_consumer():
    # Define o contrato do consumer
    contract = MessageConsumer(
        "my_contract Consumer"
    ).has_pact_with(
        Provider("my_contract Provider"),
        pact_dir="pacts",
    )

    # Define os dados do evento
    event_data = {
        "invoice_id": "12345",
        "amount": 100.00,
        "currency": "USD",
        "created": matchers.Format().iso_8601_datetime(),
    }

    # Cria uma mensagem que representa o evento
    contract.given("Create contract").expects_to_receive(
        "An event of contract").with_content(event_data)

    with contract:
        pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_consumer()

Please note that the file will not be generated.

If you set a breakpoint on message_pact.py, line 193, you can observe that the issue occurs during:
json.dumps(self._messages[0]),
image

It seems to be something related with regex and json dumps
Remember: it only happens on windows

Expected behavior

The file must be generated on windows

Actual behavior

If matchers.Format().iso_8601_datetime() is used, the local pact file is not being generated on windows

Your environment

Windows 11

Self-service

  • I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

Thanks for the bug report and for including an example!

Could you please let me know which version of Python you are using? And just to (re)confirm, you are using the latest version of Pact Python?

yes. Python 3.11 using venv and pact-python 2.2.2

The same problem happens using python 3.10 with conda as env

I have tested with diff venv because I was thinkg that could be something related to virtual env. But does not seems to be

Given this is a Windows-specific issue, can you please help me out and double check the output of the following:

from datetime import datetime, timezone

print(datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc).isoformat())

or as a console one-liner:

python -c "from datetime import datetime, timezone; print(datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc).isoformat())"

I am able to replicate your issue, but can't fix it at this stage (though I will keep trying for a bit).

Is there any chance you can use the Pact Python v3 interface (form the pact.v3 module)? It should have much better support for message pacts.

So my investigation ultimately uncovered the issue to be due to the use of spaces in both the consumer and providers. It is unclear to me why this works on Linux/macOS and not Windows. Most likely, this is actually an issue with the underlying pact-message Ruby executable.

As such, I suspect this won't be fixed in V2; however, I have added warnings into Pact to catch this.

Can you please confirm that the space in the name is the issue? Once confirmed, I'll merge #858 and close this issue.

Hey @JP-Ellis , ok. I will use v3.

I have tried remove the space at MessageConsumer name, but the issue still happens. So I am not able to confirm it for you

So I updated the test in #858 to specifically incorporate the behaviour you are seeing:

pact-python/tests/test_issue.py

Lines 13 to 44 in da3c9d4

def test_github_850_issue() -> None:
"""
See https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-python/issues/850.
User reported an issue with Pact files not being written when using consumer
and provider names with spaces. A warning was added to the code to alert the
user that the names should not contain spaces.
"""
contract = MessageConsumer("My Consumer").has_pact_with(
Provider("My Provider"),
pact_dir="pacts",
)
# Define os dados do evento
event_data = {
"invoice_id": "12345",
"amount": 100.00,
"currency": "USD",
"created": matchers.Format().iso_8601_datetime(),
}
# Cria uma mensagem que representa o evento
contract.given("Create contract").expects_to_receive(
"An event of contract"
).with_content(event_data)
with contract:
pass
pact_file = Path("pacts/my_consumer-my_provider.json")
# The file should only be created on non-Windows systems
assert pact_file.exists() == (os.name != "nt")

And the CI tests succeeded on all platforms, indicating that the Pact JSON file was created on the Linux and macOS runners, and failed to be created on the Windows runner.

Can you make sure that both consumer and provider names have no spaces?

As far as I can tell, the issue is unrelated to the ISO 8601 datetime matchers.

Hey @JP-Ellis, unfortunately, at least in my env, removing the space from provider and consumer name did not solved the issue

as you can see my contract

The screenshot shows that you are interrupting the Python process during the invocation of the underlying pact-message executable, and I can't quite tell whether the file should have been written or not. I also don't see any error messages that would indicate what's going.

Your original question was specifically about he ISO 8601 matcher; can you confirm that this is the culprit? I do see that your URL decoded window shows a datetime which is not ISO 8601 compliant; however I do not know where this window comes from. Pycharm may be using its own formatting to display variables during a debug session.

Are you able to provide any debug logs? Or better yet, are you able to adapt the example I made in #858 to replicate your issue?

So in summary, to try and pinpoint what's going on:

  1. Can you confirm that remove the ISO 8601 matcher works for you (as implied by the original question)?
  2. Can you adapt the test in chore: add test for #850 #858 to replicate the issue you are having?
  3. Can you provide some debug logs?

@azosramonsaraiva Where you able to test out any of the pointers I suggested in my previous post? Without being able to replicate your exact issue, it is difficult for me to help out.

@JP-Ellis
About question 1 - As implied by the original question. I am sending a video attch.

  1. For now I will try to adapt the test in chore: add test for #850 #858 for this issue

Wow awesome thanks for the video! That is such strange behaviour!

The network path not found error looks like an underlying OS issue, which makes it very confusing as to why the ISO 8601 matcher would cause an issue. I'll spin up a virtual Windows machine to see if I can replicate it.

Just to double check one other thing, what happens if you run the script from the terminal (as opposed to your IDE's 'run' button)? E.g.:

python consumer.py

Do you will have the same issue with the ISO 8601 matcher? And does it go away when the ISO 8601 matcher is removed? My small hypothesis being tested here is whether PyCharm is injecting anything at runtime (e.g., for debugging).

@JP-Ellis, yes! It occurs same error with python consumer.py

I also have done some new tests.

Moved my project to a simple dir on C:\, so the full path is: C:\my_py_test\my_project

Instead of use a venv, I have tried with the default python instalation in my windows, as you can see on the print (pip list) is a clean installation, that I never have installed other thing besides "pip install pact-python".
And the result was the same error:
image

And if I remove the ISO 8601 matcher, the command works
