validation of string format uri wrongly fails with relative pathes about openapi_first

I think you are looking for uri-reference not uri https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/string

Not really. The field usually refers to an S3 URL. But if not set, it defaults to a local placeholder. I could change to an absolute URL though OpenAPI says the local relative URL is good.

I think you are are right. I have tried two (1, 2) other schema validation libraries and they indeed seem to behave differently from json_schemer in this case.

irb(main):004> JSONSchemer.schema({'type' => 'string', 'format' => 'uri' }, meta_schema: 'https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/dialect/base').valid?('/data/foo/bar')
=> false

irb(main):006> JSONSchemer.schema({'type' => 'string', 'format' => 'uri-reference' }, meta_schema: 'https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/dialect/base').valid?('/data/foo/bar')
=> true

I am not json_schemer is wrong here, though since this section of the JSON Schema spec does not really clarify things for me.

Hmm odd, but i think ChatGPT summed it up nicely:

URI (format: uri): The uri format specifies that a string attribute represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). However, it doesn't specify whether relative paths are allowed or not. It's up to the interpretation of the attribute's value and the context in which it's used. In practice, many implementations of OpenAPI treat uri as a broad category that includes both absolute and relative URIs, but this isn't strictly enforced by the specification.

URI-Reference (format: uri-reference): The uri-reference format specifically allows URI references, which can include both absolute and relative URIs, as well as fragment identifiers. This format is suitable when you want to allow a broader range of URI-like values, including relative paths, in your attribute.

Well going to switch everything to uri-reference to be safe then.

Just ran across this https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/main/versions/3.0.2.md#relative-references-in-urls
