How to return json array with PactDslJsonArray in consumer tests?

Question

I'm trying to write a consumer test and the following json array will be my response.

[
  {
    "additionalInfo": {
      "details": {
        "logo": "German Logo"
      }
    },
    "flagRequired": true,
    "name": "Germany"
  },
  {
    "additionalInfo": {
      "details": {
        "logo": "Dutch Logo"
      }
    },
    "flagRequired": true,
    "name": "Netherlands"
  },
  ...
]

I tried to create a pact like below.

val responseBody = PactDslJsonArray().`object`()
                .stringType("name")
                .booleanType("flagRequired")
                .`object`("additionalInfo")
                .`object`("details")
                .stringType("logo")

When I run the provider test, it throws the following error message.

1.1) body: $ Expected a List with 1 elements but received 8 elements

What change I need to make in PactDslJsonArray part to return it multiple times? Thank you in advance.

You will want to use the "like" versions of this for the root object. See https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/jvm/consumer#root-level-arrays-that-match-all-items

e.g.

PactDslJsonArray.arrayEachLike()
                  .stringType("name")
                  .booleanType("flagRequired")
                  .`object`("additionalInfo")
                  .`object`("details")
                  .stringType("logo")
.closeObject()
