Using Random port with jvm-provider-spring and SpringRestPactRunner

The @TestTarget annotation is called before the Spring Boot application starts. This makes it impossible for me to get a random port and this makes us need to find separate port for each and every microservice.

Is there any known solution for this?

@RunWith(SpringRestPactRunner.class)
@Provider("someservice")
@IgnoreNoPactsToVerify
@PactBroker(<something>)
// We need to have random port so that we dont have to manually find available ports for all services
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class PactVerificationTest {

    @LocalServerPort
    int serverPort;

    // When this annotation is invoked, the serverPort variable has not yet been assigned.
    @TestTarget
    public final Target target = new HttpTarget(serverPort);

    (...)
}

I created a new target for you to use:

  @TestTarget
  public final Target target = new SpringBootHttpTarget();

This will result in the server port being setup before the interaction is tested.
