support pact generation when setting up mock with wiremock

[Constantin J.]

hey, so there is a useful project called pact which we use often, however it is sometimes really tricky to use since the validation part is kinda confusing.

WireMock on the other hand has a really awensome log output and is in general super easy to setup and use.

I was wondering if it is possible to create some sort of Plugin that can utilise the `MappingBuilder` to create a pact too. 

Basically I want to use WireMock to create pacts and do the consumer side testing.

What do you think of this idea?

I've not tried it, but it sounds like this does what you're suggesting: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/wiremock-pact-generator

If you've not seen, Spring Cloud Contract produces Wiremock mocks from generated contracts, and also can output Pacts - may be worth a look :)
