# Pact plugin driver library for Rust
> Pact support library that provides an interface for interacting with Pact plugins
## State of implementation
* [X] The ability to find plugins.
* [X] Load plugins and extract the plugin manifests that describe what the plugin provides.
* [X] Provide a catalogue of features provided by the plugins.
* [ ] Provide a messaging bus to facilitate communication between the language implementation and the plugins.
* [X] Manage the plugin lifecycles.
## Building the Rust driver
The Rust driver is built with Cargo. The build can be run with `cargo build`, but there is a test `DriverPactTest`
that requires a Protobuf plugin to work. Either skip or disable that test, or install the prototype Protobuf plugin before
running the build.
