Please support --fail-if-no-pacts-found in verifier configuration

Agree, useful feature. It is hard to make Providers run contract test in new environment when no consumers exist yet

Support was added in pact-js in 2022: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/issues/941

possible workaround

            return result.Contains(providerName);
        }

I imagine it's a pretty straightforward addition - would you be open to creating a PR?

[ekarnialiuk]

Hey, just a friendly reminder. Could you please implement this feature? It's quite inconvenient to verify interactions when there are numerous services, and the contracts are not ready. This is especially unpleasant to realize when other languages ​​have such a setting to disable.

Looking forward to your response about this issue, thanks!

Why not fork the project, implement the feature and propose a pull request?

It was introduced by an external contributor in the linked pull request against pact-js.
