Improve error reporting when non-existent index referenced

aj-stein-nist opened this issue · 0 comments

User Story:

Per conversation after review NPE analysis and rubber duck debugging explained in #279, it would be helpful for developers using metaschema-java libraries or the CLI to receive precise error messaging when a model references an index that does not exist, for example when <index-has-key/> has a @name attribute that should reference an existing schema by name that is in fact non-existent.

Goals:

More precise error messaging to clarify the use of <index/> and <index-has-key/> usage alongside upcoming clarifications int he spec.

Dependencies:

N/A
