I am getting used to XML Schemas and tried to import another schema into my own.

The initial schema file test.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema 
  targetNamespace="test"
  xmlns="test"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
  elementFormDefault="qualified" >

    <xs:complexType name="Test">
        <xs:all>
            <xs:element name="test-import" minOccurs="0" type="xs:string" />
        </xs:all>
    </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>

The importing schema test2.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema 
  targetNamespace="test2"
  xmlns="test2"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
  xmlns:test="test"
  elementFormDefault="qualified" >

    <xs:import namespace="test" schemaLocation="./test.xsd" />

    <xs:element name="project">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>

                <xs:element name="test" type="test:Test" />

                <xs:element name="test2" type="Model" />
                
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:complexType name="Model">
        <xs:all>
            <xs:element name="model-test" minOccurs="0" type="xs:string" />
        </xs:all>
    </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>

And finally the test.xml file which imports the namespace test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<file xmlns="test2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="./test2.xsd">

    <test>
        <test-import>Text</test-import>
    </test>
    
    <test2>
        <model-test>Text</model-test>
    </test2>

</file>

In the end the tag test2 would work fine but at <test-import>Text</test-import> i would get the error message:

 - test-import

One of the following is expected:
 - test-import

Error indicated by:
 {test}
with code:xml(cvc-complex-type.2.4.a)```

  • I see a couple of mistakes in your XML. Root tag `` should be ``, according to test2.xsd. Also, your XML only has 1 namespace declaration but it needs 2, otherwise you cannot put the `` tag into namespace 'test2'. – kimbert Nov 02 '21 at 22:17

Too many issues to list out, but below you can find all mistakes corrected such that your XML will validate successfully against your XSD.
