Stream: IG creation
Topic: Substitute for "id" element?
Cees de Jonge (Dec 04 2019 at 16:28):
Running IG-publisher with the sample-ig template on our resources, we get errors like:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/nlv09090/Projects/ILS/IG-publisher/kanweg/sample-ig/temp/pages/StructureDefinition-common/resource/general/observation-v1/ILSObservation.xml (No such file or directory)
This is probably caused by the canonical URL's we are using which is in this case:
https://www.fhir.philips.com/4.0/StructureDefinition/common/resource/general/observation-v1/ILSObservation
and maybe because we do not specify the "id" element in our StructureDefinitions. The error disappears if we specify the "id".
Could it be IG-publisher uses the "id" element if present for file-naming and in case it is not present it takes the part of the canonical URL after the ResourceType?
In our case this is "common/resource/general/observation-v1/ILSObservation", which is what is mentioned in the error-message.
I do not remember we had this problem with older versions of IG-publisher.
We have our resources in a tree-like structure, which is reflected in our canonical URL. Is this something which should be possible or should be discouraged?

Those URLs aren't valid FHIR endpoints, though canonical URLs aren't required to be. To be a FHIR endpoint, the only thing that's allowed to follow StructureDefinition is the id - no hierarchy permitted.
Grahame Grieve (Dec 04 2019 at 16:55):
that's a case where you'll need ids
Cees de Jonge (Dec 04 2019 at 19:46):
Thanks Lloyd for explaining, think we should reconsider our naming,
