PhoenixSwagger.Plug.Validate doesn't work for versioned API

[spinettaro]

Hi ,

it seems the PhoenixSwagger.Plug.Validate is not working if you have aliases in the API declaration.
Here the example:

pipeline :api do
  plug :accepts, ["json"]
  plug PhoenixSwagger.Plug.Validate
end

scope "/api", MyServer, as: :api do
  pipe_through [:api]

  scope "/v1", Api.V1, as: :v1 do
    get     "/dashboards",      ControllerDashboard, :get_dashboards
  end
end

The error is:

{
    "error": {
        "path": "/api/v1/dashboards",
        "message": "API does not provide resource"
    }
}

Any suggestions?

@spinettaro I don't think nested scopes should be a problem. PhoenixSwagger uses the output of Router.__routes__ to enumerate the paths.

Can you show the output of mix phx.routes ?

[spinettaro]

yes, no prob.
Here the output:
api_v1_controller_dashboard_path GET /api/v1/dashboards MyServer.Api.V1.ControllerDashboard :get_dashboards

Looks fine. There should be a corresponding entry in the :validator_table ets table.
You can see the contents in an iex shell with :ets.tab2list(:validator_table), eg:

iex -S mix
Interactive Elixir (1.10.4) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> :ets.tab2list(:validator_table)
[
  {"/get/api/users", nil, %ExJsonSchema.Schema.Root{...}},
  ...
]

[spinettaro]

weird... it is empty

:ets.tab2list(:validator_table)
[]

That table is populated by a call to PhoenixSwagger.Validator.parse_swagger_schema/1, eg in your Application start callback: https://github.com/xerions/phoenix_swagger/blob/master/examples/simple/lib/simple/application.ex#L8

I didn't put that line on my Application.ex, because to be honest I didn't find it in the doc guide.
After that I have this error:

** (Mix) Could not start application my_server: exited in: MyServer.Application.start(:normal, [])
    ** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
        ** (UndefinedFunctionError) function ExJsonSchema.Schema.resolve/1 is undefined (module ExJsonSchema.Schema is not available)

That one comes from the ex_json_schema library being an optional dependency.
Add {:ex_json_schema, "~> 0.7"}, to the deps list in mix.exs to make it available.
