"no schema" Error thrown

[jabberwo]

Hi,

First time user of AJV. I'm trying to use extract-text-webpack-plugin that depends on AJV. While this plugin is doing its thing during bundling my CSS output via webpack; AJV throws the error message:

Error: no schema with key or ref "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#"

Can't understand what its complaint is. That URL will load a JSON file so its valid. I don't like the idea that my deployment is now dependent on an external URL! Is there a way to turn off what ever its doing at this point; or use a local schema?

thanks
Jab

PS
The full error stack is:

Same. I'm trying to figure this out.

Be careful that the version of ajv you're using, matches the schema json file you use. That will also trigger this error.

I think the referenced instructions don't work for 6.x. With the same code and 5.5.2 I can successfully add a meta schema, with 6.x - I get a no schema with key or ref.
@epoberezkin

edit: oops, didn't notice the var ajv = new Ajv({schemaId: 'id'}); on top of the README.

@jorotenev Difficult to say what's the problem without the example, but it all works. You should add all meta-schemas to the instance that are used in your schemas in "$schema" keyword. By default in v6 only draft-07 meta-schema is added, in v5 - only draft-06.

EDIT: So, if you use draft-06 schema in v5 it will just work, in v6 you either have to update $schema to be draft-07 (it's backward compatible, so it's ok), or add draft-06 meta-schema.
