Fatal error: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined

[rabidgremlin]

Hi there,

I get a

Fatal error: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined

error when trying to validate a schema that references another schema file. Stacktrace is

C:\tmp\api>grunt --stack
Running "tv4:todo" (tv4) task
> pass | apidef/todo_example.json

>> tv4 validated 1 of 1 value

Running "tv4:todos" (tv4) task
> load + todo.json
Fatal error: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined
TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined
    at C:\tmp\api\node_modules\grunt-tv4\lib\loader.js:28:13
    at fs.js:207:20
    at Object.oncomplete (fs.js:107:15)

This only occurs when the .json files are in a different folder from my Gruntfile

My Gruntfile is as follows:

var formats = require('tv4-formats');

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tv4');

  grunt.initConfig({
    tv4:{
        todo:{
                options: {            
                    root:grunt.file.readJSON('apidef/todo.json'),
                    formats:formats,
                },              
                src: ['apidef/todo_example.json']
        },
        todos:{
                options: {            
                    root:grunt.file.readJSON('apidef/todos.json'),
                    formats:formats,
                },              
                src: ['apidef/todos_example.json']
        },
    }   
  });

  grunt.registerTask('default', ['tv4']);
};

and my todos.json file is as follows:

{   
    "id":"todos",
    "type":"array",
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
    "items": { "$ref": "todo.json"}            
}

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I don't see anything glaringly wrong in your config.

When I check the code at that stack-trace (https://github.com/Bartvds/grunt-tv4/blob/master/lib/loader.js#L28) then I think for some odd reason the loader has some bug and passes undefined instead of the file contents.

I'm at the office right now, so I'll have to look into it when I'm back from work.
