Swagger Editor shows the “Schema error: should NOT have additional properties” error for a path parameter

Question

I'm using http://editor.swagger.io to design an API and I get an error which I don't know how to address:

Schema error at paths['/employees/{employeeId}/roles'].get.parameters[0]
should NOT have additional properties
additionalProperty: type, format, name, in, description
Jump to line 24

I have other endpoints defined in a similar way, and don't get this error. I wondered if I had some issue with indentation or unclosed quotes, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Google also did not seem to provide any useful results.

swagger: "2.0"

        '403':
          description: No permission to see employee roles
        '404':
          description: EmployeeId not found

Any Hints?

Answer 1

The error message is misleading. The actual error is that your path parameter is missing required: true. Path parameters are always required, so remember to add required: true to them.

Answer 2

The syntax requires might require two parameters, as mentioned by Helen required: true is need so is type:DataType . The error is misleading.
