Malformed version number string 9bb9d91 (ArgumentError)

version: pact-python (v 1.3.0)

use case: Using pact-python to publish a consumer test to a pactflow broker.

Reading the docs, it suggests using the commit SHA or something unique for the versioning. When passing other than a string in the format “x.x.x” I get the below error.

example

pact = Consumer(
    "example",
    tag_with_git_branch=True,
    tags=[prod_tag_flag]
).has_pact_with(
    Provider("exampleName"),
    host_name=mock_host,
    port=mock_port,
    publish_to_broker=True,
    broker_base_url=pact_broker_url,
    broker_token=pact_token,
    version="1.0.0" <---- ideally this would be dynamic and unique.
)

error

Malformed version number string 9bb9d91 (ArgumentError)

Am I misunderstanding the use of the version property here? Or, is this where in fact I should be passing a string of the commit SHA for publication?

I have posted this into the pact slack channel also.

The example e2e uses this flag. I’m not going to put a broken example in to prove it! I think the unit tests cover it.

Hi @elliottmurray, apologies, I did see this but forgot to come back to it. It looks OK to my eye, but will need confirmation of somebody actually running the publish step this way. Thanks for fixing!
