Pact Net Pact Verification Failed with 404 response

Question

I am testing a GET endpoint which is supposed to return 200 but it is returning 404, and the response header is also incorrect.

Here is the log:

    Failures:

1) Verifying a pact between API Consumer and Weather API Given There is data - A GET request to retrieve the weather
    1.1) has a matching body
           / -> Expected body Present(496 bytes) but was empty
    1.2) has status code 200
           expected 200 but was 404
    1.3) includes header 'Content-Type' with value '"application/json; charset=utf-8"'
           Expected header 'Content-Type' to have value '"application/json; charset=utf-8"' but was ''

There were 1 pact failures

And here is my code that I got from the sample in the docs (the Provider state is indeed set up, nor is it required for me, since we are returning hardcoded data).

public class ProviderTests : IDisposable
{
    private readonly IHost server;
    public Uri ServerUri { get; }
    private readonly PactVerifier verifier;

    public ProviderTests(ITestOutputHelper output)
    {
        ServerUri = new Uri("http://localhost:7058");
        server = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()
                     .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
                     {
                         webBuilder.UseUrls(ServerUri.ToString());
                         webBuilder.UseStartup<TestStartup>();
                     })
                     .Build();
        server.Start();

        this.verifier = new PactVerifier(new PactVerifierConfig
        {
            LogLevel = PactLogLevel.Debug,
            Outputters = new List<IOutput>
                {
                    new XunitOutput(output)
                }
        });
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        server.Dispose();
    }

    {
        // Arrange

        string pactPath = Path.Combine("..",
                                       "..",
                                       "..",

                .ServiceProvider("Weather API", ServerUri)
                .WithFileSource(new FileInfo(pactPath))
                .WithProviderStateUrl(new Uri(ServerUri, "/provider-states"))
                .Verify();
        } catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw;

I'm facing the same problem. Check if your ServerUri (http://localhost:7058) is the same as where the application is being hosted. You can check it on your launchSettings.json, and you can also set the port at the Program.cs like:

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        BuildWebHost(args).Run();
    }

    public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
        WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseStartup<Startup>()
            .UseUrls("http://localhost:5073")
            .Build();
}

I've done that but still receiving those 404 too. Hope I can come back here with

[UPDATE]

I find out that when we use the TestStartup the endpoints are not registered because the assembly that is calling the Startup isTest.csproj rather than Api.csproj.

There is a way to list all the endpoints being registered by just adding at the Configure method on the Api Startup.

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env, IActionDescriptorCollectionProvider actionProvider)
{
    //...

    var routes = actionProvider.ActionDescriptors.Items.Where(x => x.AttributeRouteInfo != null);
    foreach (var route in routes)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"{route.AttributeRouteInfo.Template}");
    }

    //...
}

With this code we can see that when we run the Api it will log all endpoints, but when we run the Pact test, nothing will be logged.

[SOLUTION]

Its kinda cheesy but I added the Api.csproj assembly in the TestStartup before calling the Startup by proxy:

public class TestStartup
{
    private Startup _proxy;

    public TestStartup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _proxy = new Startup(configuration);
    }

    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvc().AddApplicationPart(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(Startup)));
        _proxy.ConfigureServices(services);
    }

    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env, IActionDescriptorCollectionProvider actionProvider)
    {
        app.UseMiddleware<ProviderStateMiddleware>();
        _proxy.Configure(app, env, actionProvider);
    }
}
