How Can I Generate YAML, or X files from Spring Cloud Contract Contracts?

Spring Cloud Contract comes with a ToFileContractsTransformer class that lets you dump contracts as files for the given ContractConverter. It contains a static void main method that lets you run the transformer as an executable. It takes the following arguments:

  • argument 1 : FQN: Fully qualified name of the ContractConverter (for example, PactContractConverter). REQUIRED.

  • argument 2 : path: Path where the dumped files should be stored. OPTIONAL — defaults to target/converted-contracts.

  • argument 3 : path: Path were the contracts should be searched for. OPTIONAL — defaults to src/test/resources/contracts.

After calling the transformer, the Spring Cloud Contract files are processed and, depending on the provided FQN of the ContractTransformer, the contracts are transformed to the required format and dumped to the provided folder.
