Required list has not defined properties: ['type']

Hi,

 

Generating a python-flask server stub for OpenTripModel (using OAS 3) works but when trying to run the server gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\python37\Lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main

connexion.exceptions.InvalidSpecification: Required list has not defined properties: ['type']

There is no indication to where this error occurs in the swagger.yaml file so I have no idea how to fix this.

Swagger Editor and SwaggerHub both say the spec is valid, however running openapi-spec-validator returns the same error regarding Required list has not defined properties: ['type'], but does not give a location for that error either.

 

Is there any way to find this out?

        It turned out the file has errors which are not detected by a lot of validators.

        I found an OpenAPI validator from IBM which does see them and gives line numbers to fix them:

        https://github.com/IBM/openapi-validator

        From a quick look the file seems to be a valid OpenAPI 3.0 definition. Most (if not all) errors and warnings reported by IBM's openapi-validator are NOT syntax errors but custom style validations based on "custom IBM-defined best practices" such as:

        Property names must be lower snake case.

        Arrays MUST NOT be returned as the top-level structure in a response body.
        
Operations with non-form request bodies should set a name with the x-codegen-request-body-name annotation.

        These things aren't actually errors.
