[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1367) Compiling multiple schemas in a directory fails if dependencies are not in alphabetical order

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1367?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13751500#comment-13751500 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1367:
------------------------------------

I think this is working as intended.  Files need to be specified in dependency order on the command line.  Directory order is not reliable, so inter-dependent dependencies would either require multiple import directories or pre-expanding the interdependencies (e.g., with Maven).

> When compiling a schema with multiple input files, no dependencies can be found unless they are located in a file name that precedes the current file being parsed alphabetically.  I added two sample test cases to illustrate this using the existing player.avsc and position.avsc in the test folder.  Simply calling the doCompile using the input directory versus specifying the files manually, or specifying the input files by name, but in alphabetical order, results in an error:
> org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Undefined name: "Position"
