Topic: Package validation with Java validator

Matthijs van der Wielen (Oct 19 2020 at 08:00):

So I'm playing around with package based validation with the Java Validator, but I haven't figured out how to get it to work yet.

What I did:

Dowload the uk.core.r4-1.3.0.tgz package from Simplifier.net. https://simplifier.net/packages/uk.core.r4/1.3.0
Download the example resourece Richard Smith from the UK Core project. https://simplifier.net/ukcore/ukcore-patient-richardsmith-example
Run the following in the command prompt:
java -jar validator_cli.jar UKCore-Patient-RichardSmith-Example.json -ig uk.core.r4-1.3.0.tgz

But the output is:

FHIR Validation tool Version 5.1.16 (Git# ea0b4c0c1c10). Built 2020-10-01T04:39:09.65Z (18 days old)

Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly? Validating this example patient against the package on Simplifier works fine.

The examples I have working are on this page (slightly out of date ... I'll correct this morning).

I've been using the full url. So my ig parameter would be:
https://packages.simplifier.net/uk.core.r4/-/uk.core.r4-1.3.0.tgz

@Kevin Mayfield Thanks! That was really helpful.
