Usage
How to setup your broker to use this feature: https://docs.pact.io/pact_broker/advanced_topics/wip_pacts
Consult your language docs for how to use in your tests.
Matt Fellows
For those wanting to test out the functionality in the latest OSS broker (2.52.2+), ensure the following environment variable is set for the process running the pact broker:
PACT_BROKER_FEATURES=pacts_for_verification
Note that it is still in beta and some bugs may be present.

Matt Fellows: Oh you of little faith :P
Matt Fellows
Beth: You're right. I should have written "bugs are present"
Simon
Matt Fellows: Is there any documentation for trying this out?
Matt Fellows
Simon: I've just edited the top of the article for a bit more context. Which language are you after?
Simon
Matt Fellows: Ruby and Python
Matt Fellows
Simon: I'm not sure about Ruby, but Python does not yet support it it seems (see https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-python/blob/master/pact/verifier.py). Would you mind please raising an issue there? It should be an easy thing to add.
Simon
Matt Fellows: Is it just passing the parameters down to the ruby implementation? If so, I might just open a PR instead :)
Matt Fellows
Simon: Yes, that would be great thanks!
Matt Fellows
Just a note for anybody seeing this. At the present moment, it is only supported on pactflow.io but will be made generally available once it's out of testing/beta.

Implemented in the Pact Broker. Now all the client languages need to start making use of it. Pact JS, Go, .net and python (the versions that wrap the pact-ruby-standalone) now support this.
