[YANGTOOLS-471] Use of reference keyword in a YANG extension causes YangSyntaxErrorException

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:35:34 +0000

Here is a small example of a yang file to demonstrate the problem. It includes the extension in the same module for brevity. The Yangtools version is 0.6.5-Helium-SR3.

module extension-with-reference {
namespace "http://example.com/extension-with-reference";
prefix "ewr";

description
"Simple example to see an extension with reference";

extension myalias

{ argument "descriptor"; }

container foo {
ewr:myalias some-alias

{ description "..."; reference "..."; }

}
}

This causes following exception:

org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.model.parser.api.YangSyntaxErrorException: extraneous input 'reference' expecting
