[json] External schemas referenced from schema not updated

Issue Type

Bug

Description

Setup

color-schema.json

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  
  "validColors": {
    "enum": ["Red"]
  }
}

schema.json

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "color": { "$ref": "color-schema.json#/validColors" }
  },
  "required": ["color"]
}

test.json

{
  "$schema": "./schema.json",
  "color": "Red"
}

Test 1: Intellisense notices changes in schema.json

Rename the property color to colorx in schema.json -> (Desired) error in test.json: Missing property "colorx".

✔️ That work’s!

Test 2: Intellisense does not notice changes in color-schema.json

Change Red to Yellow in color-schema.json -> no errors!

Restarting VSCode finally gives the desired error in test.json: Value is not accepted. Valid values: "Yellow".

❌ That doesn’t work! (i. e. at least without restarting VSCode after each schema dependency change)

Any update on this topic?

@Logerfo Hello from the future. They added an option called “JSON: Clear schema cache” which does the trick now.

The best part is that this is just one of many threads on this subject, none of which mentions this “screw it, just reset it yourselves” fix.
