Check numberType and decimalType

[louisrj]

Below is a code snippet of a consumer pact test written with pact-jvm version 4.2.14 This test is used to verify the json structure of a message published to a kafka topic. When the pact is verified by the provider, it also compares for the values of the two fields decimalField1 ( default value 100.0) and numberType(default value of 100). How can I use pact to only verify if decimalField1 is decimal data type and numberField1 is number data type without matching the values?

Consumer Test Class:

@ExtendWith(PactConsumerTestExt.class)
@PactTestFor(
    providerName = "example-provider",
    providerType = ProviderType.ASYNCH)
class Test {

  @Pact(provider = "example-provider", consumer = "example-consumer")
  MessagePact createPact(MessagePactBuilder builder) {
    DslPart dslPart =
        LambdaDsl.newJsonBody(
                body ->
                    body
                        .decimalType("decimalField1")
                        .numberType("numberField1"))
            .build();

    var metadata = new HashMap<String, String>();
    metadata.put("Topic", "TestTopic");
    metadata.put(CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);

    return builder
        .hasPactWith("testTopic")
        .withMetadata(metadata)
        .withContent(body)
        .toPact();
  }

Failure output:

Description of differences
------------------------------------------------
    • Expected 100.0 but got 5.99 at $.decimalField1
    • Expected 100 but got 83 at $.decimalField1

How is the pact is verified by the provider? I don't recognise that failure output.
