Loader fails to load file with no reason

[akzincsystems]

I'm seeing an error:

bad data in "#/components/schemas/UserStruct"

when calling openapi3.NewLoader().LoadFromFile(path)

This is being emitted from openapi3/loader.go L358 which is the default case in a switch statement, and no reason is given.

Dumping the reflect values gives:
reflect.TypeOf(cursor).Kind().String == ptr
reflect.TypeOf(cursor).String() == *openapi3.SchemaRef

which I can see for all other schema components as well

The particular component is:

  schemas:
    UserStruct:
      title: "A User"
      type: object
      properties:
        struct:
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/StructVersionV1"
        data:
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/UserV1"

All referenced schemas are in the file and the entire yaml schema validates at https://app.swaggerhub.com

lib version is: github.com/getkin/kin-openapi v0.113.0

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Hello! Can you provide a YML that reproduces the error with a call such as

go run github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/cmd/validate@latest -- file.yml

EDIT: got it, thanks!

I'd appreciate you deleting it once you have it locally.

Thanks

Not seeing this yet. Needs a new tag? v0.113.1 perhaps?

[fenollp]

Yes I haven't tagged yet. I'm looking to get another PR in first but it can probably wait. I'll tag later today.

This will just change the error message you are getting though. Your issue is that the ref points to a schema instead of a response object. I'm not sure why other tools did not point that out though.

Ah Ha! Found it - yes - correct. Thanks for that. Hopefully your new messaging will point the error at the wrong ref, not the ref definition itself. Look forward to seeing it. Thanks for your help.
