Topic: Resource must define resourceType and id
Ward Weistra (Jun 16 2020 at 13:57):
error Resource at C:\Users\Ward\Documents\FHIR workspace\R4\SushiProject\ig-data\input\resources\ACMEUSCorePatientProfile.StructureDefinition.json must define resourceType and id.
Is id an IG publisher requirement because the files need to be renamed to type-id.json? Because id isn't mandatory, right? I generally don't fill it for profiles (I'm not a real user though).
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 16 2020 at 14:13):
id is mandatory if you want to be able to reference the resource - which obviously in an IG we do
Nick Freiter (Jun 16 2020 at 14:24):
You are exactly right as to why SUSHI requires the id in that situation though. Since the IG Publisher expects files to be in the format type-id.json, we rename files to be in that format, so we do require that those files have an id.
If someone was just using SUSHI to turn FSH files into JSON without any of the extra IG Publisher things I could see why you might not want to have to set an id. But, I'm not so sure why someone using SUSHI for that use case would even be putting resources into ig-data/input/resources, since generally the reason to put resources there is so that they get copied over to the input/resources folder that the IG Publisher will use, while also being included in the SUSHI generated IG resource.

probably not relevant but the publisher can handle files that are not named as `type-id.json/xml'. This naming convention keeps things safe, though
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 16 2020 at 15:14):
I don't think it can handle files that don't have ids though
Chris Moesel (Jun 16 2020 at 15:21):
I'm 98% sure the publisher at least used to complain when file names did not follow the type-id.json format. It sounds like maybe that's not the case anymore, but as Lloyd noted -- probably still a good idea.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 16 2020 at 15:25):
Regardless of the filename, the IG points to the included files by reference - which needs an id.
Ward Weistra (Jun 17 2020 at 16:29):
Thanks for the explanations! @Nick Freiter I'm taking advantage of sushi's config.yaml, even when I only have JSON resources, to get my IG Publisher project configured :slight_smile: But it's clear I'll just have to add an id to make an IG.
