Implement calls along the lines of:

• Delete by provider - DELETE .../api/contracts?provider=name
• Delete by consumer - DELETE .../api/contracts?consumer=name
• Delete by both - DELETE .../api/contracts?consumer=name&provider=name

The above should result in the removal of contracts for the respective providers and consumers.

Some tests can fail and timeout. Add an optional flag to set a retry number which will retry individual tests the specified number of times.

When a variable is undefined jackal returns

Aborting

e.g.

request:
          baseUrl: http://service:1337
          path: "/api/stuff?number=<%= undefined_variable %>"

Create a contract file describing jackal's requests and responses.

• The TeamCity format does not correctly format error to be expandable, the TC markup doesn't seem to get parsed
• The output shows all the tests ran against the same provider, probably the first one in the contracts file

Some sort of front end, communicating with the HTTP API, initially just to display the state of the database.

Building a simple static site hosted in github will help adoption and make everything look a bit more professional

For example:

• Swagger - http://swagger.io/specification/
• Raml - http://raml.org/

Allow jackal to take key/value pairs from the command line to use in contract interpolation, for example:

jackal run URL variable=value will be used in the contract:

{...
"something": "something_<%=variable%>"
...}

The variables assignments will have to override anything setting them in the contracts themselves.

Build a client command which can read json and generate a best guess at a contract - something like the example below would be good or piping from curl onto the scaffolding tool.

jackal run scaffold --file ./resonse.json --url http://some.endpoint.com
