JUnit PactBrokerAuth annotation doesn't work for basic authentication

See original GitHub issue

We have a Pact Broker that we’ve set up with basic authentication, and are currently writing a Provider test using JUnit 5 using the following library:

testImplementation("au.com.dius:pact-jvm-provider-junit5:$pactVersion")

We’re using the following annotations:

@Provider("your-provider")
@PactBroker(
    host = "your-broker-with-basic-auth",
    scheme = "https",
    port = "443",
    authentication = PactBrokerAuth(scheme = "Basic", username = "username", password = "password")
)
class ContractVerificationTest {

When we run the tests, we’re being redirected to our single sign on page as if the authorisation hasn’t been passed. See stack trace for error:

We used Charles Proxy to inspect the call and can see that the Authorisation header is not being passed with the request to the Pact Broker.

Notes: If we change it to be a BEARER token rather than Basic like below, then we can see this is working correctly and the authorisation is being passed OK (though we don’t have a bearer token we can use):

PactBrokerAuth(scheme = "Bearer", username = "bearerToken", password = "")

Here’s an example project to replicate our test (please insert your own pact broker which has basic auth to recreate the issue): https://github.com/jemmawells/pact-example

We think this might be a bug, please help!
