pact-jvm-junit5 writes all pacts to target/pacts instead of $buildDir/pacts

The title explains it.

Here is my build.gradle file for reference

buildscript {
	ext {
		springBootVersion = '2.0.2.RELEASE'
		pactDirectory = "$buildDir/pacts"
	}
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
		classpath("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-gradle-plugin:1.1.0")
		classpath("au.com.dius:pact-jvm-provider-gradle_2.12:3.5.16")
	}
}

	testRuntime("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher:1.1.0")
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
	gradleVersion = '4.6'
}

// Set where to put pact files
test {
	systemProperties['pact.rootDir'] = pactDirectory
}

// Publish pact files
pact {
	publish {
		pactDirectory = pactDirectory
		pactBrokerUrl = 'http://localhost:3000'
	}
}

// Push pacts to broker
build.finalizedBy(pactPublish)

Hey @HaMatthias and @uglyog, I had the same issue where the pact files are actually stored in the target dir by default.

I noticed that it actually happens only when I run my pact tests using IntelliJ. If instead I run the same tests from CLI, it works correctly.

The issue is that I was running the tests using IntelliJ IDEA instead of Gradle (Default) as per screenshot (Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build and Tools > Gradle)

Changing it to Gradle worked for me.
