IG Publisher finished with code 1

In my experience Nulls usually are ig json or ig xml issues. Look at the resource ids.
Rick Geimer (Mar 01 2019 at 23:26):
Thanks Eric.
Found it. It was an extension with the following:
<element id="Extension.value[x]">
<path value="Extension.value[x]"/>
<min value="1"/>
<type>
<code value="CodeableConcept"/>
</type>
<patternCodeableConcept>
<coding>
<system value="http://loinc.org"/>
</coding>
</patternCodeableConcept>
</element>
Once I removed patternCodeableConcept it worked. Will need to work out another way to bind to all of LOINC, but for now I can make progress in other areas of the IG and come back to that one later.

Submit a tracker because that shouldn't NPE
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 02 2019 at 03:09):
No clue how that change fixed your problem unless there was an issue with the source spec. The NPE is on diff.getDifferential().getElement().get(0).getPath().contains(".")
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 02 2019 at 03:10):
It's failing because either there are no elements in the diff or the first element doesn't have a path.
