Pact file not being saved to configured directory

[alspires]

Hello,

I've started using Pact for a few contract tests recently, and one issue that I'm not sure if it's with Pact itself or with my configuration has been bugging me for some time now.

I have configured a specific system folder for saving all the generated json Pact files, but for some reason Pact always saves the file in the root folder.

I followed the configuration the way it is in their documentation, only made a few tweaks that shouldn't have an influence with this. This was added to my conftest.py file:

@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def pact() -> Generator[Pact, None, None]:
    consumer = Consumer("Consumer")
    pact_dir = Path(Path(__file__).parent / "contract/pacts")

    pact = consumer.has_pact_with(
        Provider("Provider"),
        pact_dir=pact_dir,
        # publish_to_broker=True,
        # Mock service configuration
        # host_name=MOCK_URL.host,
        # port=MOCK_URL.port,
        # Broker configuration
        # broker_base_url=str(broker),
        # broker_username=broker.user,
        # broker_password=broker.password,
    )
    
    pact.start_service()
    yield pact
    pact.stop_service()
