dereferencing ref of refs in the same path

[educastellano]

I'm trying to dereference some schemas, but seems that it does not resolve the urls the way I need... I'm probably missing some option here.

I have all the schemas sitting on /schemas:
/schemas/a.json
/schemas/b.json
/schemas/c.json

So /schemas/a.json:

{
    "b": { "$ref": "b.json" }
}

dereferences well, but /schemas/b.json:

{
    "c": { "$ref": "c.json" }
}

is trying to find the schema under /schemas/b.json/:

• GET https://localhost:8080/schemas/b.json/c.json/ 404 (Not Found)
• Error downloading https://localhost:8080/schemas/b.json/c.json/

That's odd. Can you post a sample of how you're calling JSON Schema $Ref Parser? I suspect that it may be something wrong with the parameters or usage.

Also, are you running this in Node.js or in a web browser?

I'm just using it like this:

refParser.dereference('/schemas/a.json', (err, schema) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err)
    }
    else {
        console.log(schema)
    }
})

running in a web browser. I will do more testing tomorrow if you say it's supposed to work.

[JamesMessinger]

Yeah, that should totally work. I do essentially that same thing all the time. And I have plenty of tests that cover that use-case as well. There's gotta be some difference we're missing here.

Can you try using the un-minified version of JSON Schema $Ref Parser and then stepping into the code to see what's going on?

I'm closing this since I had to move to something else. I was probably using it wrong...
