Recursive schema definition fails about pykwalify HOT 8 CLOSED

This happens in the latest pypi version and unstable branch as well. Tested with python 2.7

from pykwalify.

Have you tried to use the schema; and include arguments instead of the built:in pyyaml links? https://github.com/Grokzen/pykwalify/blob/unstable/docs/Validation%20Rules.md#partial-schemas It might help you here because that implementation is lazy loaded and could avoid the problem with infinite recursion.

I am not sure if the docs state it but using built in yaml linking is not reccomended when partial schemas exists, maybe i should add it :]

Thanks for the quick response @Grokzen
i'll try it and post the results afterwards.

Please do.

I do not know really how to protect against this in a good way if partial schemas do not work =(

I bring good news, sire ;-)
It worked with partial schemas, with some changes:
I had to make the top level a sequence, because apparently, partials don't work with mappings:

schema.yml

schema;node_map:
  type: map
  mapping:
    name:
      type: str
    edges:
      type: seq
      sequence:
        - include: node_map

type: seq
sequence:
  - include: node_map

example.yml

-
  name: 'Top'
  edges:
    -
      name: '2nd'
      edges:
        -
          name: '3rd'

Thank you for your time and for the project.

Cheers!

Cool that it worked out :]

One question about the sequence problem, was it not possible to use a include at the top level or directly inside a sequence? Is it possible that you can post the schema you wanted to have using partial schemas? It might be some unintended behavior that should be fixed, or it could be a new feature that should be added.

I haven't tried yet.
the schema i needed is pretty much like the one i posted, with more noise.

Oki.

If you find some schema/usecase that you might need just open another issue and i can see if it can be worked into the spec but still keep the kwalify compatibility.
