Problem

Several reader errors hid what actually went wrong:

  • Schema integer fields (maxLength, minItems, …) used a catch-all that reported every failure as The value is out of range., including abc and 1.5.
  • The shared scalar helpers said Value could not parse to integer. without the value or the field location.
  • A referenced document that couldn't be read reported Unable to deserialize reference without the cause (bare catch), and any failed reference was reported twice: once with the specific reason, then again generically.
  • JsonPointer.Find swallowed all exceptions, and for a pointer that walks into a scalar (/info/title/nested) it returned the scalar instead of null.

Change

  • Scalar errors now read e.g. Value 'abc' could not parse to integer. Expected a whole number. or Value '99999999999' could not parse to integer. It must be between -2147483648 and 2147483647., with the field's pointer. Schema integer fields use the same helper. The existing "could not parse to …" wording is kept.
  • Unreadable reference documents include the underlying exception message, and the generic reference error is only added when nothing more specific was recorded.
  • JsonPointer.Find checks array bounds and node kinds instead of catching exceptions.

Tests

ReaderErrorDetails_Should: 6 of its 9 tests fail on vnext. Full suite passes on net8.0/net9.0/net10.0.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid integer and boolean values now produce clearer diagnostics that include the rejected value and explain the issue.
    • Reference-resolution errors now avoid duplicate diagnostics and include more specific information about the failing reference.
    • Invalid JSON pointers now return no result when a path is missing, out of range, or traverses an incompatible value.
    • Schema length and count constraints now use the same integer parsing behavior as other values.

…resolved

- Integer, long and bool scalar errors now include the value and the
  reason (not a whole number vs. out of range) and the location of the
  field. Schema integer fields used a catch-all that reported every
  failure as "The value is out of range"; they now use the same helper.
- A reference whose document cannot be read now reports the underlying
  error, and a failed reference is no longer reported twice (once with
  the specific reason, then again as "Unable to deserialize reference").
- JsonPointer.Find no longer swallows exceptions. It also returned the
  scalar it walked into for pointers such as /info/title/nested instead
  of null.

📝 Walkthrough

The reader now provides more specific scalar conversion and reference-resolution diagnostics. JSON pointer traversal validates object properties and array indices. Schema integer fields use the shared integer conversion method.

Changes: Reader diagnostics and pointer handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scalar and schema integer diagnostics
src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/ParseNodes/ValueNode.cs, src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/Schemas/AsyncApiJsonSchemaDeserializer.cs, test/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Tests/ReaderErrorDetails_Should.cs
Integer and boolean conversion errors include rejected values and expected formats. Schema integer fields use GetIntegerValue(). Tests cover invalid integer diagnostics.
JSON pointer traversal
src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/ParseNodes/JsonPointerExtensions.cs, test/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Tests/ReaderErrorDetails_Should.cs
Find validates array indices and object properties. It returns null for invalid or missing traversal targets. Tests cover invalid paths and object-and-array traversal.
Reference-resolution diagnostics
src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/AsyncApiJsonDocumentReader.cs, test/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Tests/ReaderErrorDetails_Should.cs
Sync and async resolution add a generic error only when resolution added no diagnostic. Stream deserialization errors include the exception message and reference path. Tests verify missing-reference diagnostics.

…ne integer sign

Parse JSON pointer array tokens with NumberStyles.None and the invariant
culture, so tokens such as "-0", "+0" or " 0" no longer resolve to an element.
When explaining an invalid integer, strip at most one leading sign so values
such as "+-1" are reported as malformed rather than out of range.

🟡 Minor · Route all schema boolean fields through… · AsyncApiJsonSchemaDeserializer.cs:98

src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/Schemas/AsyncApiJsonSchemaDeserializer.cs:98
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Route all schema boolean fields through GetBooleanValue().

Invalid text in uniqueItems, readOnly, writeOnly, or deprecated reaches bool.Parse. bool.Parse throws FormatException, which PropertyNode.ParseField does not catch. The parser therefore loses the structured diagnostic that includes the invalid value and expected format. Replace all four calls with n.GetBooleanValue().

Suggested fix
- "uniqueItems", (a, n) => { a.UniqueItems = bool.Parse(n.GetScalarValue()); }
+ "uniqueItems", (a, n) => { a.UniqueItems = n.GetBooleanValue(); }

- "readOnly", (a, n) => { a.ReadOnly = bool.Parse(n.GetScalarValue()); }
+ "readOnly", (a, n) => { a.ReadOnly = n.GetBooleanValue(); }

- "writeOnly", (a, n) => { a.WriteOnly = bool.Parse(n.GetScalarValue()); }
+ "writeOnly", (a, n) => { a.WriteOnly = n.GetBooleanValue(); }

- "deprecated", (a, n) => { a.Deprecated = bool.Parse(n.GetScalarValue()); }
+ "deprecated", (a, n) => { a.Deprecated = n.GetBooleanValue(); }

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject array tokens with leading zeros.

JsonPointerExtensions.Find parses 01 as index 1 and accepts it when element 1 exists. This violates the repository’s RFC 6901 pointer contract. Reject leading-zero tokens while preserving 0 and nonzero digit sequences.

Suggested fix
-                    if (!int.TryParse(token, NumberStyles.None, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out var index) || index >= sequence.Count)
+                    if (!int.TryParse(token, NumberStyles.None, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out var index) || (token.Length > 1 && token[0] == '0') || index >= sequence.Count)

…oleans

Array tokens with a leading zero ("01", "00") no longer resolve, per RFC 6901.
The uniqueItems, readOnly, writeOnly and deprecated schema fields now use
GetBooleanValue, so an invalid value produces a diagnostic naming the value
instead of an unhandled FormatException.

Addressed the outside-diff findings in 9b361e9:

  • JsonPointerExtensions.Find: array tokens with a leading zero (01, 00) are now rejected per RFC 6901; 0 and other digit sequences still resolve, and invalid/out-of-range handling is unchanged.
  • AsyncApiJsonSchemaDeserializer: uniqueItems, readOnly, writeOnly and deprecated now use n.GetBooleanValue(), so an invalid value produces a diagnostic at the field pointer instead of an unhandled FormatException.

Tests added for both; the full suite passes on net8.0, net9.0 and net10.0.

Ahh how I love the naming rules i made up for the reference heirachy. reference.Reference.Reference

{

// Only add a generic error when resolving did not already explain what went wrong.
