Could you let me know what C++ dev tools you are using? (Visual Studio, etc.). Also, what testing framework do you use?

This is a topic I am also interested in. Is any project implementing a pact testing framework for C++ based software? @matt.fellows

Hi Anja, this work is about to get started in new month or so. Any details you can add would be helpful when implementating this

Hi! My team (@djorgensen, @abrinker, @jks, Cal Stepanian) and I are in the early stages of starting a C++ implementation of Pact. Our focus is almost solely on async (i.e. MessagePact) XML messages, so at this point we?re only planning to support that portion of the Pact functionality in C++ (but we?ll do our best to leave in hooks / placeholders for future expansion). Our plan involves leveraging the current Rust reference implementation to the greatest extent possible, updating it to better support some of the v3 spec where needed (e.g., https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/pull/61) but also exposing a good portion of the `pact_matching` module via external FFI interfaces so that they can be called from C++. Later on, we also have some plans to improve XML matching as well (in both C++/Rust and pact-jvm). Please let us know if you have any feedback on our general approach, or would like any more information. @abrinker and Cal are also starting to make some headway on exploring how to create the FFI interfaces and they may be reaching out on here to discuss any significant changes which may be required to the current Rust code.

hi Andrew(s). There is some work about to happen from the foundation where we are going to create a supported C++ implementation. The initial work will be for RESTful, JSON over HTTP interactions and then move to the XML and Async implementation.

We?re in the process of uplifting the XML matching _as we speak,_ as we currently have the requirement to do so for our JS implementation which requires this - so I wouldn?t spend any time on that, as in the next week or so (roughly) it will all be merged in.
matt.fellows
2020-03-16 20:30
I?ll aim to get something published around all of this today so that we can be clearer in the open (there is a ticket for JS, but probably need one on the c-plus-plus repo and rust one)

Thanks Matt. Look forward to see what your existing plans for C++ are! For XML, we are currently looking at two improvements (starting with pact-jvm) dealing with namespace-awareness (a key feature for us) and support for unordered matching when you have multiple occurences of the same element (e.g., `<list><item>1</item><item>2</item></list>` matches `<list><item>2</item><item>1</item></list>`). We would eventually want to see this in C++, as well as things like https://github.com/DiUS/pact-jvm/issues/899 which already exist in pact-jvm.

I think the matching on XML elements won?t have that issue, but will need to confirm (also with Ron)
uglyog

The XML matching in Rust is implemented based off the JVM one, so should have the same behaviour

Is there a way that I can download `sever_ffi` and consumer files without building from source?
swoichhaa
2021-07-08 10:10
Anyway me and my team, we figured out a way to configure all the required library files. But we are now stuck with setting the mock server attributes.
uglyog
2021-07-08 23:27
The problem is that the files were hosted on bintray (using conan), but bintray has been shutdown
uglyog
2021-07-08 23:29
At some point we need to change that, maybe put the binaries on the GH release, but I don't use C++ so I don't know what would be the best option
uglyog
2021-07-08 23:30
Maybe you can provide ideas on what would work. What do you use for managing your dependencies?
swoichhaa
2021-07-09 04:18
I think the documentation needs some update. Like to get the `pact_mock_server_ffi.h` we had no idea how to get that but later we ran the `release-linux.sh` from `pact-reference/rust/pact_mock_server_ffi/`. So, I think this should be mentioned somewhere.
swoichhaa
2021-07-09 04:20
Also, we faced some issues with `consumer.cpp` . We had to make some changes there.

Regarding the setup for mock server is there someone whom I can ask about it. Someone who is looking after the pact-cplusplus?

BTW, you can get all the libs and headers files at https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/releases/tag/libpact_mock_server_ffi-v0.1.0

@uglyog I have created a PR with the minimum changes that we did to to compile the `consumer.cpp` file. https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-cplusplus/pull/2
uglyog
2021-07-10 04:15
Actually, it due to the build not running because of bintray. So we never knew we broke it

Do you know of any OSS projects using the CPP library of pact? Would be cool to see some real-life code to learn from
matt.fellows
2021-07-12 10:19
It was built for a Pactflow customer, so I can definitely reach out and connect you if you like?
artur
2021-07-12 10:34
that would be really nice. @swoichhaa @talank are working on it for our customer and made some great progress but some other input would be always useful
