Support for gRPC contract testing

[krzysztofreczek]

Are there any plans for support of gRPC contract testing?
Maybe it is already there, or there are some well-known practices on how to use pact in such a scenario?

[mefellows]

Yes there are plans, but not yet supported. See https://pact.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-grpc and also #62

@mefellows, thanks for the quick response. Are you able to provide any rough estimation when this feature is available? I understand you are open for contributions, aren't you?

[mefellows]

I'd say in the next 3 months we'll have at least a workable beta in a popular languages (e.g. JS or Pact Go, because they are the two I maintain). Did you want to join us at slack.pact.io in the #protobufs channel, and we can discuss there? We probably have enough critical mass now we could form a working group and a plan?

[krzysztofreczek]

@mefellows, would be great! At the moment I am in a few other short term projects and would be difficult to get into your right now. Let me get back to you in a month or two and check if I can help then

Any update on this please?

[mefellows]

Please follow the https://pact.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-grpc issue.
Follow #83 also as it will be a pre-requisite.
