Thanks for the report.

The error looks to be related to starting the service itself as root - do you indeed have the permission to fork/exec?

Our build is able to successfully initialise and run the plugin - see the latest release build here: https://travis-ci.org/github/pactflow/terraform/builds/711706647

Can you please provide a build that reproduces the problem? We'll be able to fix it if it indeed is an issue.

Hi @jlsan92 I got the same error upon my trials with terraform-provider-pact. In my case it helped the following:

chmod +x terraform-provider-pact

pactflow / terraform-provider-pact
