Description

  • OS: Linux
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Version: 122.0
  • Method of installation: distribution rpm package
  • Swagger-UI version: 5.11.2
  • Swagger/OpenAPI version: OpenAPI 3.0

When the "components" section of a Swagger document is placed before the "paths", the rendering of schemas with $ref fails to display as shown below:

  • "components" placed before "paths" (bug.json):

  • "paths" placed before "components" (nobug.json):
    Screenshot from 2024-03-11 14-18-24

The only difference in the docs is the order of "components" and "paths".

Research direction

Start by comparing the supplied bug.json and nobug.json files, then reproduce both documents in Swagger UI 5.11.2 with Firefox. The work is complete when schemas using $ref render identically regardless of whether components or paths appears first.
