Topic: org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar vs validator_cli.jar
David Gutknecht (Aug 06 2020 at 06:34):
Hello,
http://hl7.org/fhir/validator/ include two links.
- Download the validator under https://storage.googleapis.com/ig-build/org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar that gives you org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar
- Validator Documentation that is linked to confluence https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Using+the+FHIR+Validator
But in confluence there is also a link to download the latest version of the validator that is different
https://github.com/hapifhir/org.hl7.fhir.core/releases/latest/download/validator_cli.jar it gives you validator_cli.jar
And It strange because I can validate this json mni-patientOverview-bundle-example1b.json with org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar
using command line java -Duser.language=en -jar org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar mni-patientOverview-bundle-example1.json -version 4.0 -ig https://mednet.swiss/fhir
But when I use validator_cli.jar with the same command line it returns me a Nullpointer exception,
below the stack trace:

Any idea ?

Maybe I found a part of the answer:
validator_cli.jar return : FHIR Validation tool Version 5.0.18 (Git# 18cf563e7875). Built 2020-08-03T21:07:57.905Z (57 hours old)
org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar returns : FHIR Validation tool Version 5.0.7-SNAPSHOT (Git# 6bc790d98b04). Built 2020-06-07T08:35:37.25+10:00 (60 days old)
Oliver Egger (Aug 06 2020 at 06:42):
the newer one linked from confluence is the latest one (validator_cli.jar)
Oliver Egger (Aug 06 2020 at 06:43):
can you refer to your ig locally? I assume the validator does not know hot resolve your ig https://mednet.swiss/fhir locally
David Gutknecht (Aug 06 2020 at 06:43):
This would mean that validator_cli generates some nullpointer exception
Oliver Egger (Aug 06 2020 at 06:46):
yes it looks like it cannot resolve a fhir ig package
David Gutknecht (Aug 06 2020 at 06:49):
https://mednet.swiss/fhir is valid, and works with the older version of the validator
I just tryed with following command line :
java -Duser.language=en -jar validator_cli.jar mni-patientOverview-bundle-example1.json -version 4.0 -ig output/
Same result
Validation Infrastructure fail validating mni-patientOverview-bundle-example1.json: null

Grahame Grieve (Aug 06 2020 at 07:38):
