Step 11 -> java.io.FileNotFoundException

[JonoH]

There seems to be an issue with directory resolution in step11 for the pactDirectory in consumer build.gradle:

pact {
	publish {
		pactDirectory = 'consumer/build/pacts' // --> This doesn't resolve properly
		pactBrokerUrl = 'http://localhost:8000/'
		pactBrokerUsername = 'pact_workshop'
		pactBrokerPassword = 'pact_workshop'
		tags = [getGitBranch(), 'test', 'prod']
		consumerVersion = getGitHash()
	}
}

When I execute the ./gradlew consumer:test --tests *PactTest* pactPublish command I get the below error (java.io.FileNotFoundException):

...
> Task :consumer:pactPublish FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':consumer:pactPublish'.
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/jhatting/.gradle/daemon/6.6.1/consumer/build/pacts

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

Seems it's resolving to my root folder and not the project root folder. Managed to fix it by removing pactDirectory from the config completely. Publish to local broker works with the below gradle config:

pact {
	publish {
		pactBrokerUrl = 'http://localhost:8000/'
		pactBrokerUsername = 'pact_workshop'
		pactBrokerPassword = 'pact_workshop'
		tags = [getGitBranch(), 'test', 'prod']
		consumerVersion = getGitHash()
	}
}

change the value of pactDirectory to the absolute path.
