how to use my own local schema?

I’ve read the docs a few times and having trouble getting going with schema validation. I want to have a custom schema to validate against for something I’m building.

Following associating a schema

I have this in my .vscode directory

{
  "yaml.schemas": {
    "../cdn/schemas/storyline.json": [
      "../cdn/story*/story.yaml"
    ]
  }
}

so those rel-paths should point to the files to apply the schema to

So given a very basic schema:

“…/cdn/schemas/storyline.json”

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema",
  "title": "storyline",
  "definitions": {
    "story": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "name": {
          "type": "string",
          "description": "name of the story"
        },
        "cname": {
          "type": "string",
          "description": "canonical computer readable name"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

It should validate against a file like this

…/cdn/story-test/story.yaml

story:
  name: aa
  cname: 123

But I can’t tell if anything is working. When I type I don’t get any suggestions…

And there are no commands for yaml added to the command palette.

I’ve restarted VSCode

and the extension is running.

What am I doing wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

cool! I got it working now, thanks for your help! This might serve as a useful example for anyone else getting started…

Also, in the next version you’ll be able to add a comment at the top of the file that looks like:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=my_schema_location
