Topic: Validator throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with profile

Rob Eastwood (Apr 15 2020 at 21:42):

Trying to get the validator to validate example instances against a given profile, and am getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException error.

This occurs:

with FHIR Validation tool Version 4.2.17-SNAPSHOT (current latest)
using different examples in different IGs (tried with HL7 AU Base Implementation Guide and HL7 Bidirection Services eReferrals FHIR IG, and a local IG)
only when the -profile <URL> switch is added to the command

The command used (once either of the above IGs are cloned locally) - having randomly chosen an example and paired profile:

java -jar FHIR-validator/org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar -version 4.0.1 input/resources/condition/condition-BSeR-Diagnosis-eve-everywoman-diabetes.xml -ig http://hl7.org/fhir/us/bser -profile http://hl7.org/fhir/us/bser/StructureDefinition/BSeR-Diagnosis

with the output

FHIR Validation tool Version 4.2.17-SNAPSHOT (Git# 4bd0d60e5c1a). Built 2020-04-12T08:25:34.223+10:00 (3 days old)

The result is identical with the other IGs that I have tried. And without the -profile parameter, the run is clean with expected output.

Having read the validator specs and the command line help, I think this is the correct invocation, but happy to be told otherwise.

Any clues?

I'm just trying the same thing now (it's been a little while) - trying to validate an instance with the IPS IG and our AllergyIntolerance profile with the latest validator (4.2.18), and I'm getting the same error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 7 out of bounds for length 7. @Grahame Grieve?

Thanks @Mark Iantorno and @Grahame Grieve
Can I ask though - I see that the PR has been merged in, but does this need for me to wait for a new version of the Validator or does "cloud magic" happen?
I ask because re-running the command in the original post, I still get a failure, albeit slightly different:

java -jar org.hl7.fhir.validator.jar -version 4.0.1 input/resources/condition/condition-BSeR-Diagnosis-eve-everywoman-diabetes.xml -ig http://hl7.org/fhir/us/bser -profile http://hl7.org/fhir/us/bser/StructureDefinition/BSeR-Diagnosis

Maybe there is something I need to do my end?
