I think that in your schemes friends and links are also objects - you need
to define them as such with type: object

I'm more than willing to suppose that I am doing something wrong, but
whenever I try and validate the following string:

"friend": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Roman Graham",
"email": "ro.willms@carroll.org",
"dob": "1995-05-05",
"gender": true
},
"links": {
"id": "/friends/1",
"relationships": "/friends/1/relationships",
"occasions": "/friends/1/occasions"
}
}

with this schema:

{
"id": "http://www.occasions.me/schemas/friends",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"friend": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "integer"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"email": {
"type": "string"
},
"dob": {
"type": "string",

},
"gender": {
"type": "boolean"
}
},
"required": [
"name",
"email"
]
},
"links": [{
"rel": "full",
"href": "{id}"
}, {
"rel": "relationships",
"href": "/friends/{id}/relationships"
}, {
"rel": "occasions",
"href": "/friends/{id}/occasions"
}, {
"rel": "address",
"href": "/addresses/{address_id}"
}]
}
}

I get the following error:

Failure/Error: expect(response).to match_response_schema :friend_schema
TypeError:
no implicit conversion of String into Integer

...and it's doing my head in. The runtime error only occurs when id is
specified as an integer. If I specify it as a string it predictably fails
validation. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong or have I found a bug?

Hi Iain,

Thanks for the help. I've rewritten the schema as follows:

{ "id": "http://www.occasions.me/schemas/friends", "type": "object", "properties": { "friend": { "properties": { "id": { "type": "number" }, "name": { "type": "string" }, "email": { "type": "string" }, "dob": { "type": "string", "pattern": "^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$" }, "gender": { "type": "boolean" }, "links": { "type": "object", "properties": { "id": "string", "relationships": "string", "occasions": "string" } } } } } }

...but now I get the following error:
undefined method `each' for "string":String

My bad, your links property is an array of objects, not an object.

If it helps, I recommend this guide to Jason schema:
