JSONSchema draft v3 validation error

Question

I have created a JSON schema following the draft v3 specifications. The schema looks like this:

{
"housePolicies": {
    "properties": {
        "guaranteePolicies": {
            "items": {

            "$ref": "#/housePolicies"
        },
        "required": true
    }
}
}

I am now trying to validate some JSON against it, but jsonschemavalidator complains about the schema, giving error when resolving schema reference '#/housePolicies/guaranteePolicy/dow'. I verified in the documentation that the references are put in the proper format. Could anyone point where is the error in this schema?

Answer 1

You have used json-path in your $ref, but still use an id on the objects. You don't need both and they seem to be conflicting. If you remove the id's, your schema works.
