Pact verifier is throwing Error (Failure/Error: expect(response_body).to match_term expected_response_body, diff_options Encoding::UndefinedConversionError: "\xE2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8)

See original GitHub issue

Hi, can you please help me on below scenario ?

i am able to create Jason mock properly but at the time json file generation below error is coming but Json file is created successfully Error: "AssertionError: [{'class': ['HealthCheck'], 'properties':[863 chars]'}]}] != <pact.matchers.EachLike object at 0x06C66AD0>"

using pact verifier to verify the json file but getting below error .

        Failure/Error: expect(response_status).to eql expected_response_status
                expected: 200
                  got: 403

                 (compared using eql?)

      Failure/Error: expect(response_body).to match_term expected_response_body, diff_options
           Encoding::UndefinedConversionError:
            "\xE2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8

i am doing poc and just want to mock only some part of the response to pass the test case. can you please help me what i am doing wrong ?
