Version information:

  • PactNet Version: 5.0.1
  • .Net Version: 8

Describe the bug
Not a bug but I'm not being able to pass Authorization with a Bearer to the header of the Pact Uri

Steps To Reproduce
I have a pact verifier, I need to be able to authenticate to the Provider Uri.

httpVerifier.WithHttpEndpoint(providerUri)

Then I'm calling Verify() method

Log Output
I'm getting 401

Could you guys help me to understand what I'm missing ?

Have you seen https://docs.pact.io/provider/handling_auth? There are some helpful tips on approaches here.

To clarify, do you want to authenticate to your Provider API, or the pact URI? i.e. is the 401 when connecting to your API or the location of the pact file (I think it's the former)?

Thanks for your answer so far.

I believe what I want to authenticate to my provider api, which is my application running locally.

Yeah so the issue we have found is that we are able to run the consumer test and generate the json file and we are able to run the provider test and it worked but that was when the endpoint was set to allow anonymous, but once we set up the endpoint to require authentication, the consumer test still works but the provider test fails now betting a 401 error.

I was able to solve it, I will let you guys know on a next comment.

You can use the WithHeader API to pass an authentication header if you want to keep authentication enabled in your provider.

I prefer to disable auth in the tests personally, but that feature is there in case you'd rather leave it on.

Yeah that was part of the solution too.

I also understand that the Authorization bearer should part of the header and it would be part of pact as well.

I will close this ticket, thanks.
