project.ptx Schema?

[siefkenj]

Is there a schema file for project.ptx? Or is there some way to programmatically generate all valid options?

[StevenClontz]

Nope, though I think at this point the conventions are stable enough that we should encode what's allowed.

Now that we validate the manifest using pydantic, does it still help to have a schema for it? I suppose we could set up pretext-tools to complain when something isn't right based on the schema, which would tell users that there is an issue sooner.

Does pydantic have a way to generate a schema from its document model?

Having a schema would be nice from an VSCode IDE perspective, where the user could be guided into the correct syntax while editing. However, I don't know any way of auto-generating the schema from pydantic / pydantic-xml; the constraints they support is probably a much richer language than XML's schema.
