Strange issue reading contract file

[jonoc330]

For some reason any time pact node attempts to retrieve a contract file (via http or file system) there is an error reading the contract.

Error: reading pact at /path/to/json.json

What I know is:

• I've tried multiple contract files on the file system/http requests to no success.
• Doing a manual GET request to the HTTP URLs I'm using works fine.
• Permissions of the contract files on the file system are fine.
• Happens in both 4.7.0 and 4.8.0 and really only just started happening without any change to my environment.
• The contracts themselves are valid JSON and look correct as far as structure.
• Looks like the same issue if you skip pact-node and go straight to the verifier.

Not much to go on, but have you seen this before?

Closing this as I've realised Error: reading pact at is basically a blanket message if there are errors with the provider verification - it's not actually an error "reading" the pact so to speak.

Hm, we might want to fix that error message then to be more specific. Please keep this open.
