Schema type change is not being recognized as breaking change

[Rico M]

‌

The swagger-diff library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-diff) will recognize that as a breaking change i.e. changing the schema type from integer to string.

We recently upgraded to open api 3.0 and so we now use openapi-diff as our library. However, openapi-diff doesn’t seem to detect that as breaking change. Please give advice. Thank you

Hi Rico, diffing schemas in headers has not been implemented. You can refer to OPENAPI3.md and SWAGGER2.md for reference.

hi Sebastian, thank you for you reply. Any suggestions on how we could handle this on our end?

@Rico M , an option could be to create a bunch of mock interactions in a pact file, and you can use swagger-mock-validator to validate and protect from breaking changes in the spec
