From 59d5a7bd9cb62c77653daa82d4559b48327c6650 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Vasters Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 09:26:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix import ref rewriting: rewrite $ref and $extends pointers after merging When importing schemas via $import or $importdefs, internal $ref and $extends pointers (like #/definitions/Address) were pointing to the original document's root instead of their new location in the merged document. This fix adds a _rewrite_refs helper method to both validators that recursively rewrites these pointers to their new location after import. For example, when importing at #/definitions/People, a reference like #/definitions/Address is rewritten to #/definitions/People/Address. Changes: - Added _rewrite_refs() method to both validators - Updated _process_imports() to call ref rewriting with deep copy - Added 3 new tests for ref rewriting scenarios Fixes #2 --- .../py/json_structure_instance_validator.py | 43 ++++ samples/py/json_structure_schema_validator.py | 42 ++++ .../test_json_structure_instance_validator.py | 211 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 296 insertions(+) diff --git a/samples/py/json_structure_instance_validator.py b/samples/py/json_structure_instance_validator.py index e4679bc..ad48197 100644 --- a/samples/py/json_structure_instance_validator.py +++ b/samples/py/json_structure_instance_validator.py @@ -939,12 +939,47 @@ def _resolve_ref(self, ref): return None return target + def _rewrite_refs(self, obj, target_path): + """ + Recursively rewrites $ref pointers in an imported schema to be relative to the target path. + When a schema is imported at path (e.g., #/definitions/People), all internal $ref pointers + like #/definitions/X or #/X need to be rewritten to point to target_path/X. + [Metaschema: JSONStructureImport extension - reference rewriting] + :param obj: The imported schema object to rewrite. + :param target_path: The JSON pointer path where the schema is being imported (e.g., "#/definitions/People"). + """ + if isinstance(obj, dict): + for key, value in obj.items(): + if key == "$ref" and isinstance(value, str) and value.startswith("#"): + # Rewrite the $ref to be relative to target_path + # Original ref like "#/definitions/Address" or "#/Address" + # needs to become "target_path/Address" + ref_parts = value.lstrip("#").split("/") + # Get the final referenced name (last part of the path) + if ref_parts and ref_parts[-1]: + ref_name = ref_parts[-1] + # Rewrite to point to the same name under target_path + obj[key] = f"{target_path}/{ref_name}" + elif key == "$extends" and isinstance(value, str) and value.startswith("#"): + # Also rewrite $extends references + ref_parts = value.lstrip("#").split("/") + if ref_parts and ref_parts[-1]: + ref_name = ref_parts[-1] + obj[key] = f"{target_path}/{ref_name}" + else: + self._rewrite_refs(value, target_path) + elif isinstance(obj, list): + for item in obj: + self._rewrite_refs(item, target_path) + def _process_imports(self, obj, path): """ Recursively processes $import and $importdefs keywords in the schema.
