"Load Error FAILED" - Supported extensions are spec, qontract, wsdl, yaml, yml, json.

Hi, I am implementing Specmatic in an existing ReactJS Project. Inside the project I have my stubs and my tests directory, each one with a .yaml file. Whe I run my stub, it works normally, but when I run my test it gives the error below. I am with a .yaml file in my directory of tests, so I have no idea about what is going on. Could anyone help?

specmatic test src\specmatic\tests

Hi @igor-martins-ugowork, sorry for the delay, and thanks for getting in touch.

Can you try once again with the latest version of the specmatic node module, version 1.3.10. I believe that it should resolve the error you are seeing.

If the error persists, please let us know.

Hi @joelrosario , thank you for the response. I followed your indication. Firstly, I installed the latest version, which was 1.3.12 today. After that, I installed the 1.3.10, as you wrote. However, for both cases the error persists. When I run my stub, it works, but when I run my test, it breaks. Despite having the .yaml file in my directory of tests, my console displays:

I am organizing this way:

I have this scripts in my package.json

"spec:stub": "specmatic stub src\\specmatic\\stubs",
"spec:test": "specmatic test src\\specmatic\\tests",

Hi @igor-martins-ugowork,

Thanks for sharing additional details, including the contents of your package.json file, and your directory structure. It has helped us understand your issue.

Here is how you can setup scripts in package.json:

"spec:stub": "specmatic stub",
"spec:test": "specmatic test",

When no specifications are passed as arguments, Specmatic looks for them in it's own configuration, which you will need to now create.

Just create a file in the root folder of the project, named specmatic.json. You can read more about it here.

To start with, specmatic.json in your project would probably look like this:

{
  "sources": [
    {
      "provider": "filesystem",
      "test": [
        "src\\specmatic\\tests\\usersF.yaml"
      ],
      "stub": [
        "src\\specmatic\\tests\\users.yaml"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

In future, when you want to run tests from other specifications against the same service, or stub out more dependencies, you may add them to the test and stub lists respectively.

Hope this helps.
