Allow can-i-deploy to run without returning an error code

complete

Beth

An environment variable would temporarily allow can-i-deploy to run but not error when a build has to go out despite breakages, or when introducing pact into a CI/CD pipeline.
eg.
PACT_BROKER_CAN_I_DEPLOY_EXIT_CODE=0 (like trivy)
Suggestions for the env var name welcome.

If anyone wants to provide feedback on the way to display this in the console, I have some options in the slack workspace here: https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/C5F4KFKR8/p1621117112349600

Beth How about PACT_BROKER_CAN_I_DEPLOY_DRY_RUN?

Beth

Simon: I had a think about that too actually. I feel like a dry run is for when there's a side effect, and there's no side effect for can-i-deploy. It feels more like a vulnerability scanner, where you can say "I just want to see the issues, but keep going with the build". PACT_BROKER_CAN_I_DEPLOY_WARN_ON_FAILURE=true ?

Simon

Beth: Isn't a failed exit code the side effect?

Beth

Simon: yeah, I guess it is.

Joaquin Campero

Beth: I feel that WARN_ON_FAILURE talks more about the logging that the return code...
PACT_BROKER_CAN_I_DEPLOY_EXIT_ON_FAILURE=false ?
or
PACT_BROKER_CAN_I_DEPLOY_SKIP_FAILURES=true ?
