How to open local files in Swagger-UI

Question

I\'m trying to open my self generated swagger specification file my.json with swagger-ui on my local computer.

So I downloaded the latest tag v2.1.8-M1

Answer 1

With Firefox, I:

1. Downloaded and unpacked a version of Swagger.IO to C:\Swagger\
2. Created a folder called Definitions in C:\Swagger\dist
3. Copied my swagger.json definition file there, and
4. Entered "Definitions/MyDef.swagger.json" in the Explore box

Be careful of your slash directions!!

It seems you can drill down in folder structure but not up, annoyingly.
