All generated pact files are the same and contain all interactions

[cakeinpanic]

Software versions

• OS: e.g. Mac OSX 10.12.5
• Provider Pact library:

  "@pact-foundation/karma-pact": "2.1.5",
  "@pact-foundation/pact-node": "6.18.3",
  "@pact-foundation/pact-web": "5.9.1",

• Node Version: 8.9.4

Expected behaviour

I create two providers with different provider and consumers

const pactA = new  PactWeb({provider:'A', consumer: 'A', port: '1234'})
const pactB = new  PactWeb({provider:'B', consumer: 'B', port: '1234'})
pactA.addInteraction(interactionA);
pactB.addInteraction(interactionB);

karma config

 pact: [{
            cors: true,
            port: 1234,
            dir: 'pact/pacts',
            spec: 2,
            logLevel: 'DEBUG',
            log: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'pact', 'pact.log'),
            pactfileWriteMode: true
        }],

I expect that there would be two files A-A.json and B-B.json with different content

Actual behaviour

I have two files A-A.json and B-B.json with same content – each file includes all interactions

I have found this issue: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/issues/59

but it doesn't help When I specify

 pact: [
            {
                consumer: 'A',
                provider: 'A',
                cors: true,
                port: 1234,
                dir: 'pact/pacts',
                spec: 2,
                logLevel: 'DEBUG',
                log: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'pact', 'pact.log'),
                pactfileWriteMode: true
            },
            {
                consumer: 'B',
                provider: 'B',
                cors: true,
                port: 4567,
                dir: 'pact/pacts',
                spec: 2,
                logLevel: 'DEBUG',
                log: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'pact', 'pact.log'),
                pactfileWriteMode: true
            }
        ],

tests fail with Unable to connect to "http://127.0.0.1:1234/interactions"

As usual, on third try everything worked fine

There are really some strange caches hidden somewhere, I'm working with pact for a week and really often need to restart it on my local machine because of something strange. Once I even needed to restart machine because(I guess) some process was not killed and I instantly got error 'interaction with same state is registered already' and all that could help me(except restarting) - adding some random string to state in each interaction((

and really often need to restart it on my local machine because of something strange

The mock service is very stateful (by necessity). It must be restarted at every test run. It is not designed to be a long running process.

If it is not shutting down correctly between test runs, that is an issue that needs to be raised and addressed.
