Rest API - API Testing and Monitoring

You wrote this Pact interaction but the test fails with a syntax error:

provider.addInteraction(
  state: 'User exists',
  uponReceiving: 'a request',
  withRequest: { method: 'GET', path: '/user' },
  willRespondWith: { status: 200 }
);

What is the error?

AMissing willRespondWith key

BIncorrect HTTP method name

CMissing curly braces around the interaction object

DExtra comma after last property

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check JavaScript object syntax
The addInteraction method requires a single object argument enclosed in curly braces.
Step 2: Identify missing braces
The code passes multiple arguments without wrapping them in an object, causing syntax error.
Final Answer:
Missing curly braces around the interaction object -> Option C
Quick Check:
Object argument needs curly braces [OK]

Quick Trick: Wrap interaction details in curly braces for valid object [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Passing multiple arguments instead of one object
Using wrong HTTP method casing
