In this blog, I will discuss one troubleshooting tip for Pact<\/a> Mock Service not stopping, after Pact Contract test completed. The console shows a connection error, not directly related to the solution worked out for me. However, when I stopped Pact Mock Service manually, I was able to proceed with the Pact test.

Background<\/h3>\n

I am using the following code snippet for starting and stopping Mock Pact Server. I have selected Pact as it helps you to write an integration test without creating expensive infrastructure.<\/p>\n

# Setting up pact\npact = Consumer('Consumer').has_pact_with(Provider('Provider'))\npact.start_service()\natexit.register(pact.stop_service)\n<\/pre>\n
However, sometimes Mock service does not stop after the test. This results in connection errors such as Error code 111 as shown in the below screen:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
There are some solutions suggested on the internet regarding this problem. I spent almost 2-3 hours searching the root cause of the problem as well as trying out some of those. Fortunately,  I got this solution while checking which background processes are running. I thought to blog about this solution so it might help anyone facing a similar problem.<\/p>\n

How to stop Pact Mock Service manually?<\/h3>\n
I used the following steps to overcome this problem. However, note that this not a complete solution in the sense that, once you stop service manually, then you would not require to do it again. The non-stoppage of the Pact Mock Service may still occur. But you can apply the same solution once again.<\/p>\n
1. Check if any pact process is still running
\n2. Kill the process
\n3. Run the test<\/p>\n
\n
1. Check if any pact process is still running<\/h5>\n
Since pact-mock-service.rb<\/code> is ruby file, you can simply type ps aux|grep \"ruby\"<\/code> on the console. This will give all ruby process. You can locate this as shown in the blow screen. Get the pid<\/code> for this process which will be used in next step.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
2. Kill the proces<\/h5>\n
Run kill -9 pid<\/code> to kill the pact process. You can use the pid which you have found in step 1.<\/p>\n
\n
3. Run the test<\/h5>\n
Now run the test which should be successful now.
