FormatChecker not working on 'email'

[pll]

I'm sure I'm likely doing something wrong.

This code works fine:

jsonschema.validate("pll@foo.com",
                    { "format" : "email"},
                    format_checker=jsonschema.FormatChecker())

But when I define a schema like this:

{
   "type" : "object",
    "tags" : {
	"email" : {
	    "type" : "string",
	    "format" : "email"
       }
    }
}

and load it in from a file and use it to validate a file like this:

{
    "tags" : {
	"email": "noreply",
    }
}

using this code:

 jsonschema.validate(config,
                                    schema,
                                    format_checker=jsonschema.FormatChecker())

It passes. Despite the tags["email"] value not being a valid email format.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You forgot "properties": "tags".

Doh! I knew I was doing something wrong :)

Thanks. Should a format of email pass on a string like "@" ? Or am I doing something else wrong now :)

@pll have a look at jsonschema._format which simply looks for the presence of the @ character in the string when validating the email format. If you want something fancier like validation against the RFC822 address specification, I suggest you use a custom format with one or more regular expressions or submit a PR to enhance the built-in functionality of jsonschema._format. Acknowledging that, this issue could close.
