Topic: Forge - dropping Meta.profile definition url?
Rob Eastwood (Nov 22 2017 at 04:43):
Hello,
I am currently resolving some IG publisher build errors, specifically The link '' cannot be resolved. This is a problem with an empty hyperlink in the definition of Meta.profile with a set of profiles that are introducing some changes to this element.
The corresponding definition in the FHIR specs is (with the included functioning hyperlinks):
A list of profiles (references to StructureDefinition resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to StructureDefinition.url.
However, when creating a new profile in Forge, the definition of Meta.profile is the following - with an empty url link for "StructureDefinition.url":
A list of profiles (references to StructureDefinition resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to [StructureDefinition.url]().
Which looks like this in Forge
The IG publisher completes its run but then creates a link for this empty url with ..../output/null
Is there something we are doing wrong to create our profiles?
Edit: Forge v16.5.1

Hi @Rob Eastwood, apologies for the late response, just found your message.
You're not doing anything wrong. The element definition value is inherited from the core definition of the Meta datatype. Apparently the authors put some special rendering instructions into the description value, specifically for the IG publisher.
This would need to be fixed in the spec. IMHO (...) core definitions should not contain any special, tool-specific rendering instructions. As a work around, in case this is causing some unwanted side effects, then you could explicitly override this value in the derived profile.

this is a bug somewhere in the publishing tooling

Thank you @Michel Rutten and @Grahame Grieve. I will create a gForge ticket.
