Pact JS - The pact mock service wasn't running when verify was called - pact

Question

When I run my Pact tests I get the following error - "The pact mock service wasn't running when verify was called".
The project I am running tests in is in GitHub - https://github.com/pactflow/example-consumer/tree/master/src
I run the tests using this command - npm t
See error in my detail below -
The pact mock service wasn't running when verify was called
12 | describe('API Pact test', () => {
13 | beforeAll(() => mockProvider.setup());
> 14 | afterEach(() => mockProvider.verify());
| ^
15 | afterAll(() => mockProvider.finalize());

Answer 1

The problem was that the path to my project was too long. I read that Pact only allows 80 characters for path lengths.

Answer 2

I was getting the same error: The pact mock service wasn't running when verify was called but looking at the debug logs seemed that it was throwing
thrown: "Exceeded timeout of 5000 ms for a hook.
Use jest.setTimeout(newTimeout) to increase the timeout value, if this is a long-running test."
to fix it, I added the code below, as suggested by izhaoqing here.
// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
// ...
testTimeout: 20000
}
Seems to be related to version 27 of jest as another project with 26 is working fine.
