jsonschema validation of a post request not working

[anekix]

jsonschema validator is not working .

user_schema = {
    "type":"object",
    "properties": {
        "name":{ "type": "string" },
         "address":{ "type" : "string" }
      }
}

from falcon.media.validators import jsonschema
class Users

    @jsonschema.validate(user_schema)
    def on_post(self, req, resp):
       print("called")

The above code seems to work fine when address param is missing in the request body.
request is sent using POST, content-type is application/json

for anyone looking in to this issue its becuase my schema was not setup properly.
i had to change it to:

user_schema = {
    "type":"object",
    "properties": {
        "name":{ "type": "string" },
         "address":{ "type" : "string" }
      },
"required":["name","address"]
}

to get it working

@anekix cool that you sorted it out!

I am closing this issue then, but I will check if we need a follow-up documentation issue: I understand the current See json-schema.org for more information on defining a compatible dictionary is not necessarily the most helpful for the user.

We have also created a new umbrella issue for better documentation: #1393
