Steps to reproduce

1. We have got a Single Page Application (SPA) using AngularJS and Capacitor that contains in the tests PactJS for contract testing.
2. We are running the pact tests with all the other unit test of our SPA using Jest
3. After tests are successfully executed we would like to upload the contacts produced by PactJS to our Pact Broker using a node script like suggested here: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js#publish-in-a-custom-script
4. The test execution and the upload on the pact broker are executed in the same npm (test:ci) script and the 2 commands are executed sequentially with the && ("test:ci": "npm run test && node pact.publish"`)
5. If we run the "test:ci" script locally everything works fine and the /pacts/ folder is being created with the contracts tests JSON file. On BitRise when the node script it is executed it seems not to be able to find the /pacts/ folder

[davidesalerno]

The root cause of the issue it is related to the fact that we weren't able to detect when jest-pact mock server had started and so sometimes consumer driver contact test were fired even if the jest-pact mock server wasn't up and running causing the tests and this test to fail even if the file in the ./pacts folder was created.
