Topic: getting wrong result from FhirInstanceValidator while val...

I am trying to use FhirInstanceValidator with following configuration :

compile group: 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir', name: 'hapi-fhir-base', version: '2.5'
compile group: 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir', name: 'hapi-fhir-structures-dstu3', version: '2.5'
compile group:'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir', name:'hapi-fhir-validation', version:'3.7.0'
compile group:'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir', name:'hapi-fhir-validation-resources-dstu3', version:'3.7.0'

However, I get result as true (ideally it should be false as Observation.status is mandatory) after executing following :

FhirContext ctx = FhirContext.forDstu3();

    // Create a FhirInstanceValidator and register it to a validator
    FhirValidator validator = ctx.newValidator();
    FhirInstanceValidator instanceValidator = new FhirInstanceValidator();
    validator.registerValidatorModule(instanceValidator);


    Observation obs = new Observation();
    obs.getCode().addCoding().setSystem("http://loinc.org").setCode("12345-6");
    obs.setValue(new StringType("This is a value"));

    // Validate
    ValidationResult result = validator.validateWithResult(obs);

I am getting following in logs :

Unable to load resource: /org/hl7/fhir/instance/model/dstu3/profile/profiles-resources.xml

It seems that the org.hl7.fhir.dstu3.hapi.validation.DefaultProfileValidationSupport.java has following code :

 loadStructureDefinitions(theContext, structureDefinitions, "/org/hl7/fhir/instance/model/dstu3/profile/profiles-resources.xml");
  loadStructureDefinitions(theContext, structureDefinitions, "/org/hl7/fhir/instance/model/dstu3/profile/profiles-types.xml");
  loadStructureDefinitions(theContext, structureDefinitions, "/org/hl7/fhir/instance/model/dstu3/profile/profiles-others.xml");

In the above code, the path to profile xml contains "/instance" and the word "dstu3" after word "model" however, the actual profiles in jar - hapi-fhir-validation-resources-dstu3-3.0.0.jar are at location

/org/hl7/fhir/dstu3/model/profile/profiles-resources.xml

Is this a bug in HAPI ?

HAPI is definitely not designed to work with different versions of the library on your classparth. You should replace the 2.5 with 3.7.0 for all dependencies.
