<p>This section goes into more detail about how you should use Spring Cloud Contract. It covers topics
such as flows of how to work with Spring Cloud Contract. We also
cover some Spring Cloud Contract best practices.</p>

<p>If you are starting out with Spring Cloud Contract, you should probably read the

<p>You can check the <a href="getting-started.html#getting-started-first-application">Developing Your First Spring Cloud Contract based application</a> link to see the provider contract testing with stubs in the Nexus or Artifactory flow.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this flow, we perform the provider contract testing (the producer has no knowledge of how consumers use their API). The stubs are uploaded to a separate repository (they are not uploaded to Artifactory or Nexus).</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="prerequisites"><a class="anchor" href="#prerequisites"></a><a class="link" href="#prerequisites">2.1. Prerequisites</a></h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Before testing provider contracts with stubs in git, you must provide a git repository
that contains all the stubs for each producer. For an example of such a project, see
<a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/2.2.x//contract_git">this samples </a> or <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/2.2.x//contract_git">this sample</a>.
As a result of pushing stubs there, the repository has the following structure:</p>
</div>
<div class="exampleblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ tree .

   └── folder-with-version
   ├── contractA.groovy
   ├── contractB.yml
   └── contractC.groovy</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You must also provide consumer code that has Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner set up. For
an example of such a project, see <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/2.2.x//consumer">this sample</a> and search for a
<code>BeerControllerGitTest</code> test. You must also provide producer code that has Spring Cloud
Contract set up, together with a plugin. For an example of such a project, see
<a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/2.2.x//producer_with_empty_git">this sample</a>.</p>

<p>The flow looks exactly as the one presented in
<a href="getting-started.html#getting-started-first-application">Developing Your First Spring Cloud Contract based application</a>,
but the <code>Stub Storage</code> implementation is a git repository.</p>
</div>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>In order to fetch the stubs from a git repository instead of Nexus or Artifactory, you
need to use the <code>git</code> protocol in the URL of the <code>repositoryRoot</code> property in Stub Runner.
The following example shows how to set it up:</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>In order to push the stubs to a git repository instead of Nexus or Artifactory, you need
to use the <code>git</code> protocol in the URL of the plugin setup. Also you need to explicitly tell
the plugin to push the stubs at the end of the build process. The following example shows
how to do so:</p>

&lt;/contractDependency&gt;
&lt;!-- The contracts mode can't be classpath --&gt;
&lt;contractsMode&gt;REMOTE&lt;/contractsMode&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;
&lt;executions&gt;
&lt;execution&gt;
&lt;phase&gt;package&lt;/phase&gt;
&lt;goals&gt;
&lt;!-- By default we will not push the stubs back to SCM,
you have to explicitly add it as a goal --&gt;

<p>To use consumer-driven contracts with the contracts held in an external repository, you need to set up a git repository that:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Contains all the contract definitions for each producer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Can package the contract definitions in a JAR.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>For more information, see the <a href="howto.html#how-to-common-repo-with-contracts">How To section</a>,
where we describe how to set up such a repository
For an example of such a project, see <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/2.2.x//beer_contracts">this sample</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You also need consumer code that has Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner set up.
For an example of such a project, see <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/2.2.x//consumer">this sample</a>.

The stub storage is Nexus or Artifactory</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>At a high level, the flow looks as follows:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>The consumer works with the contract definitions from the separate repository</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once the consumer&#8217;s work is done, a branch with working code is done on the consumer
side and a pull request is made to the separate repository that holds the contract definitions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The producer takes over the pull request to the separate repository with contract
definitions and installs the JAR with all contracts locally.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The producer generates tests from the locally stored JAR and writes the missing
implementation to make the tests pass.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once the producer&#8217;s work is done, the pull request to the repository that holds the
contract definitions is merged.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>After the CI tool builds the repository with the contract definitions and the JAR with
contract definitions gets uploaded to Nexus or Artifactory, the producer can merge its branch.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Finally, the consumer can switch to working online to fetch stubs of the producer from a
remote location, and the branch can be merged to master.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="flows-cdc-contracts-external-consumer"><a class="anchor" href="#flows-cdc-contracts-external-consumer"></a><a class="link" href="#flows-cdc-contracts-external-consumer">4.2. Consumer Flow</a></h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The consumer:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>Writes a test that would send a request to the producer.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The test fails due to no server being present.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Clones the repository that holds the contract definitions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Set up the requirements as contracts under the folder with the consumer name as a subfolder of the producer.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, for a producer named <code>producer</code> and a consumer named <code>consumer</code>, the contracts would be stored under <code>src/main/resources/contracts/producer/consumer/</code>)</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once the contracts are defined, installs the producer stubs to local storage, as the following example shows:</p>
<div class="exampleblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ cd src/main/resource/contracts/producer

<p>Sets up Spring Cloud Contract (SCC) Stub Runner in the consumer tests, to:</p>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Fetch the producer stubs from local storage.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Work in the stubs-per-consumer mode (this enables consumer driven contracts mode).</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The SCC Stub Runner:</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fetches the producer stubs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Runs an in-memory HTTP server stub with the producer stubs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Now your test communicates with the HTTP server stub and your tests pass</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Create a pull request to the repository with contract definitions, with the new contracts for the producer</p>

<p>By default, the Spring Cloud Contract Plugin uses Rest Assured&#8217;s <code>MockMvc</code> setup for the
generated tests. Since non-Spring applications do not use <code>MockMvc</code>, you can change the
<code>testMode</code> to <code>EXPLICIT</code> to send a real request to an application bound at a specific port.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example, we use a framework called <a href="https://javalin.io">Javalin</a> to start a
non-Spring HTTP server.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Assume that we have the following application:</p>

</div>
</div>
