malformed or unreadable swagger supplied

My document looks ok and verifies as a valid YAML/Json

However, I get from swaggerhub editor a "malformed or unreadable swagger supplied"

this is my api:

https://app.swaggerhub.com/api/redramster/talenyaext/1.0.1

can you please advise?

thanks

    Okay, that one was a bit tricky. Under your Employer definition you have:

     

     

        locations:
        type: "array"
        items:  {
          $ref: "/definitions/Location"
        }

     

    It should actually be (notice the extra #):

     

        locations:
        type: "array"
        items:  {
          $ref: "#/definitions/Location"
        }

    That should solve the issue.

    Also, if you want to utilize YAML to the fullest, you can write it all as:

     

        locations:
        type: array
        items: 
          $ref: "#/definitions/Location"

      gee, that was quick!! :) thanks a lot.

      I wonder why your validator did not point me there and just gave a general error

        That's a good question. I'll open a ticket internally about it so we can track it down.
