Steps to reproduce

In Mac OS Ventural 13.3.1, in a project, install pact testing package, write some tests and run it.

A few questions:

• Can you try removing node_modules and reinstalling?
• Do you get errors during a clean npm install? (and what are they)
• Are you using a different package manager (ie, other than npm)?

I have MacOS Ventura 13.3.1, and no trouble running Pact. Could you be more specific in your reproduction instructions?

You can see the paths of the library it is trying to install.

      '/Users/alison.yoon/Developer/kraken-core/src/octoenergy/interfaces/node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-core/build/Release/libpact_ffi.dylib' (no such file)
      '/usr/local/lib/libpact_ffi.dylib' (no such file)
      '/usr/lib/libpact_ffi.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)

It's interesting that it's found (and compiled) the pact.node native interface, but hasn't found the library. I wonder if they are somehow installed in a different place. Are you running a monorepo by any chance and the root project is in /Users/alison.yoon/Developer/kraken-core/?

Could you please run this command from that folder please: find . -name libpact_ffi.dylib

Also, could you please confirm if you're running from a Rosetta mode enabled? If not, I'd expect it to be loading a slightly different file.
