Topic: Profile detailed validation
Diego Bosca (Jul 07 2019 at 20:42):
I'm generating a profile automatically and I would want to test it for errors. I have tried Forge but the message I get is "Oops! Null reference exception... if the problem persists, please contact support"
I'm 100% sure that the error is on my end, so I was wondering if there is any tool that can analyze a profile and give me a detailed validation

Yes there are java and .net validators. If you'd like - I have a preview of an app I'm working on that uses both: https://github.com/health-validator/Hammer

Thanks! I'll give it a try

I have managed to use hammer successfully to debug STU3 profiles. Anything similar for validating R4 profiles?
Vadim Peretokin (Jul 09 2019 at 07:32):
Not that I know of... need to add R4 support to Hammer (or you can try!)

Need a bigger hammer?

If it has to validate several FHIR versions then is more like a Swiss knife :D

Hi @Diego Bosca, Forge is not supposed to throw nasty NullReference exceptions... thanks for reporting this. Could you share the profile that provokes the error with me? This will allow us to investigate, reproduce and hopefully fix this in the next release.
Diego Bosca (Jul 16 2019 at 10:14):
Hi @Michel Rutten , I can try to find it, but it was an erroneous profile. It had wrong ids with colliding paths, probably Forge didn't like it a bit (with all reason :)
Let me search if I still have it around here
Michel Rutten (Jul 16 2019 at 11:20):
Still, Forge should gracefully report invalid constraints, not throw an exception... so if you can find the profile, I may be able to fix the issue.
