remove pact contract tests #169

Closed Jumpy-Squirrel closed 1 year ago

Jumpy-Squirrel commented 1 year ago

pact-go now requires CGO to link in a pre-compiled Rust core, as well as both a Ruby package and a C compiler - for a testing library.

So ... time to give up and get rid of the contract tests. It's just not worth the time invest tradeoff.

Reasons:

We never really rolled them out in any depth
it's by far the slowest part of our test runs
it makes the builds depend on each other, much complicating the build action
it causes hassle for contributors, who have to install stuff
it kept leaving running ruby processes behind on Windows
