too many files to convert

[mjoshiNetElastic]

Hi, I am trying to convert a set of yang files in my directory:

pyang -p yang/ -f json-schema --pliugindir /home/externals/pyang-json-schema-plugin/ yang/*
but this command is throwing "too many files to convert" error. How do I do this?

Thanks.

Hi @mjoshiNetElastic! The plugin currently works only on a single YANG module at a time. So unless you actually need to output a set of modules at once, you could always resort to some shell trickery like:

for file in yang/*; do pyang -f json-schema --plugindir /home/externals/pyang-json-schema-plugin/ $file; done

How would this work where one file augments another? If I run the tool on the file with the top level container, it generates JSON fine, but if I run on the file that augments the container, the resulting JSON file effectively has no schema information in it. Is it possible to use this tool in this scenario?
