[YANGTOOLS-591] Report error if default value for typedef fails constraint validation from typedef or base typedef

Duplicate — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:35:45 +0000

Yangtools should be augmented to report an error in the following block:

typedef listen-ipv4-address

{ type iit:ipv4-address; //default "0.0.0.0"; default "xxx"; }

The value of "xxx" provided for "default" does not match the constraints of the base type (ipv4-address), which is defined by a pattern.

In the Xored YangIDE Eclipse plugin, which uses Yangtools, this does not report an error.

In constrast, the Pyang Python compiler reports the following:

error: the value "xxx" does not match its base type at ietf-inet-types.yang:179 - pattern mismatch for the default value for pattern defined at ietf-inet-types.yang:184

This is as used in the Yang Design Studio Eclipse plugin, which utilizes Pyang.

When I reported this in the yangtools-dev mailing list, Robert Varga indicated "it would require
the parser to have knowledge of data type binding – something which it currently does not have."

I'm interested in any issues that show a disparity between what pyang acknowledges as valid Yang code, compared to Yangtools. This isn't to be "competitive", it's simply to provide consistency with other tools in the domain.
