Sequence of Map - `AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'items'`` when data contains Map in Map about pykwalify HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi. I will have a look at it during the day and get back to you.

from pykwalify.

From a quick look at your schema and data, it looks like you have either bad data or schema because you say that you want a dict at top level and it should contain employees but you then say that the content of it should be a sequence of items that each item contains a map with the key name

From what i can tell you should either change your data to this

employees:
  - name: John Doe

that is equal to this python data {"employees": [{"name": "John Doe"}]

or you need to change your schema to something like this

type: map
required: yes
mapping:
   employees:
     type: map
     required: yes
     mapping:
        name:
         type: str
         required: yes

to make it validate with your original data.

One thing i could agree to is that tougher validation could be done on the acctual data it is currently processing because it is not intended that when it is validating mappings it should only be possible on a dict but not on a string so that could/should throw a error that the data is not as expected.

Oh yeah, forgot to close this issue :]
