how to compile/validate group of json-schema files that might reference each other in v4+

Scenario: Directory with several JSON-schema files, some of which might $reference the others. Each schema file defines a unique $id property. I want to compile/validate them all at once

This command worked in ajv-cli v3.x: ajv -s 'src/models/*.json' -r 'src/models/*.json'

But with 4.x and 5.0, I get errors like this: error: schema with key or id "https://mycompany.com/this/schema/model.json" already exists

But the only file that has that id is the file itself in that directory. It would seem that the -r flag is not excluding the file’s self when checking for duplicate ids in that referenced list.

How can I accomplish validating a group of schemas like this with the newer version?

I agree, the -r should omit file specified by the -s flag.

My scenario is

ajv -s 'src/models/root.json' -r 'src/models/*.json' -d 'data.json'

and got the error schema with key or id ...already exists. I have to specify -r multiple times, which is uncomfortable.

Same problem with ajv compile.

I am not sure the approach to filter out file will be the proper one. With glob, there is an order from which files are processed, thus depending on the order, depending schema might not be there yet. A more reliable fix would be to load everything with -r and then, on the -s files/schemas check if they are loaded or not yet
