What would it take for the SDK to accept JSON schema with $refs but without the root object? It would make some things easier: • generating config schema from pydantic or msgspec • generating catalog from open API or complex JSON Schema files it would need to accept a

tuple[dict, str]

with a reference where it now accepts

dict

There's an undocumented helper function in the SDK to help with this: https://github.com/meltano/sdk/blob/f098210da0edcfa336fe7955280d6d9d67955544/singer_sdk/singerlib/schema.py#L224 For example: https://github.com/edgarrmondragon/tap-shortcut/blob/31bce1820b8561e9f2902cccb622dbc47739fe06/tap_shortcut/tap.py#L123

Ah, that just leaves to me to point to the object that I want to pass

The example I shared is a tap that uses an OpenAPI spec

thanks, I'll take a closer look

I do have a few common patterns for OpenAPI sources, but I've yet to come up with a design that makes sense to upstream into the SDK

It would be great if they could be written down for the time being. Perhaps a github issue would do

https://github.com/AutoIDM/tap-clickup/blob/main/schema-parser/resolver.py#L14 as well 🤷

this will fail when the json schema has cyclic references. normally such fields cold be de-selected, but if the refs are inlined, it will either raise error or crash with infinite recursion
