rust pact_consumer doc: how to trigger generation of pact files?

[lcmgh]

Hi!

Refering to https://docs.rs/pact_consumer/latest/pact_consumer/ .

It is not clear to me which fn call actually triggers the generation of pact files.

My test file looks like but I can't see any pac files in target/pacts.

use pact_consumer::json_pattern_internal;
use pact_consumer::{json_pattern, like, prelude::*};
#[tokio::test]
async fn preactivation_req() {
    // Define the Pact for the test, specify the names of the consuming
    // application and the provider application.
    let pact = PactBuilder::new("A", "B")
        // Start a new interaction. We can add as many interactions as we want.
        .interaction("a preactivation request", "", |mut i| {
            // Define the request, a GET (default) request to '/mallory'.
            i.request.path("/abc/v1/abc");
            i.request
                .body(r#"{"abc":["abc"],"hub":"abc"}"#);
            i.request.content_type("application/json");
            // Define the response we want returned. We assume a 200 OK
            // response by default.
            i.response
                .content_type(
                    "
                application/json",
                )
                .json_body(json_pattern!({
                    "status": "CREATED",
                }));
            // Return the interaction builder back to the pact framework
            i
        })
        .build();
}

That is not doing anything other then creating a Pact object. You need to start a mock server, write the test code that interacts with it, and if everything is good, the mock server will write the Pact file out afterwards.

Thanks. This became only clear to me after trying out the example.
