Unable to mark a Contract as inProgress() with Spring Cloud Contract

We need to temporary mark one of our Contracts as inProgress().

Here's how I try to do it:

Contract.make {
  inProgress()
  description "should do a thing"

  request {
    //request definition here
  }

  response {
    //response definition here
  }

Without the "inProgress()" line everything builds and runs ok, but with it I get this error when trying to run contractTest gradle task.

Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Plugin exception: Process 'command 'C:\path\to\jdk\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Frustratingly enough, stacktrace or logs don't provide any details of what the actual error is. Any ideas on how to debug this are much appreciated.

spring-cloud-contract-dependencies version is 4.0.1

Solution

  • The problem was that I incorrectly assumed that failOnInProgress gradle plugin property would be set to false by default. Since the docs said "You can set the value of the failOnInProgress [...] to ensure that your build will break..." it seemed to me that not setting it would guarantee a pass.

    Setting the property to false explicitly fixed the issue.
