TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML Version 1.3 inconsistencies

[Tadej BorovÅak <tadej.borovsak@xlab.si>]

Hi all.

While we were testing our TOSCA parser-soon-to-be on normative type
definitions from the latest "beta" version of TOSCA standard, we found some
errors and inconsistencies in the document.

 1. In section 3.6.20.1, the "type" key is not described at all. And while the
    grammar section does list it, there is no information that would told us
    whether this key is required or not.

 2. In the section 5.8, all non-trivial interface type definitions use grammar
    from the TOSCA 1.2 that has been changed in 1.3.

 3. In section 5.10.1, group type has an interface associated with it, but the
    grammar in section 3.7.11 does not allow it.

 4. In section 5.9.14, LoadBalancer type definition contains "description"
    field in the application requirement definition, which is not a valid key
    according to the section 3.7.3.

Maybe someone from the TC can have a look at those before the official
unveiling of the TOSCA 1.3.


As a side note, is there a reference parser implementation that one could use
to verify the correctness of 3rd party parsers and/or TOSCA documents?

Cheers,
Tadej
