Schema causes infinite loop about ex_json_schema HOT 4 CLOSED

Hmm, ok. I will have a look what the spec has to say about it. But if it's not valid, it should give back a schema validation error, not run into an infinite recursion. So either way, it has to be fixed.

It's a bit hard to tell since the whole referencing referencing behaviour is not defined in an unambiguous way in the spec (see also json-schema/json-schema#83 for a lengthy discussion around optional inline dereferencing). But in your case, the $ref values are JSON Pointers (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901) and should begin with a /.

It might be that some validators are more lenient about it, but requiring the reference to be a valid JSON Pointer also removes some ambiguity around inline referencing, where #definitions could point to a subschema that is defined inline.

In any case, #/definitions/... is the correct way to do it and I will try to turn this into a validation error instead of an infinite recursion :)

Alright, it's "fixed" in 0.5.1 to raise a ExJsonSchema.Schema.InvalidSchemaError when encountering invalid paths in $refs.

Thanks for catching that one :)
