Eric Secules created NIFI-7636: ---------------------------------- Summary: Validate Record Prints Array Paths in Confusing Way Key: NIFI-7636 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7636 Project: Apache NiFi Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.11.4 Reporter: Eric Secules
When there is a avro Validation Error in an element of a JSON array the array index is placed before the array's name in the path. For example if the input JSON was this: {code:java} { "myArray": [ { "myValue": null } ] } {code} and "myValue" was required the validation error would be: {code:java} { "fieldName" : "[0]/myArray/myValue", "inputValue" : null, "explanation" : "Field is required", "type" : "MISSING_FIELD" } {code} It would make more sense if the array index was after the array field name like so. Placing the array index before the array doesn't make any sense to me. {code:java} { "fieldName" : "/myArray/[0]/myValue", "inputValue" : null, "explanation" : "Field is required", "type" : "MISSING_FIELD" } {code} or if the field name was made using JSONPath syntax like $.myArray[0].myValue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
