Problem

Several reader errors hid what actually went wrong:

  • Schema integer fields (maxLength, minItems, …) used a catch-all that reported every failure as The value is out of range., including abc and 1.5.
  • The shared scalar helpers said Value could not parse to integer. without the value or the field location.
  • A referenced document that couldn't be read reported Unable to deserialize reference without the cause (bare catch), and any failed reference was reported twice: once with the specific reason, then again generically.
  • JsonPointer.Find swallowed all exceptions, and for a pointer that walks into a scalar (/info/title/nested) it returned the scalar instead of null.

Change

  • Scalar errors now read e.g. Value 'abc' could not parse to integer. Expected a whole number. or Value '99999999999' could not parse to integer. It must be between -2147483648 and 2147483647., with the field's pointer. Schema integer fields use the same helper. The existing "could not parse to …" wording is kept.
  • Unreadable reference documents include the underlying exception message, and the generic reference error is only added when nothing more specific was recorded.
  • JsonPointer.Find checks array bounds and node kinds instead of catching exceptions.

Tests

ReaderErrorDetails_Should: 6 of its 9 tests fail on vnext. Full suite passes on net8.0/net9.0/net10.0.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid integer and boolean values now produce clearer diagnostics that include the rejected value and explain the issue.
    • Reference-resolution errors now avoid duplicate diagnostics and include more specific information about the failing reference.
    • Invalid JSON pointers now return no result when a path is missing, out of range, or traverses an incompatible value.
    • Schema length and count constraints now use the same integer parsing behavior as other values.

…resolved

- Integer, long and bool scalar errors now include the value and the
  reason (not a whole number vs. out of range) and the location of the
  field. Schema integer fields used a catch-all that reported every
  failure as "The value is out of range"; they now use the same helper.
- A reference whose document cannot be read now reports the underlying
  error, and a failed reference is no longer reported twice (once with
  the specific reason, then again as "Unable to deserialize reference").
- JsonPointer.Find no longer swallows exceptions. It also returned the
  scalar it walked into for pointers such as /info/title/nested instead
  of null.

📝 Walkthrough

The reader now provides more specific scalar conversion and reference-resolution diagnostics. JSON pointer traversal checks object properties and array indices explicitly, and schema integer fields use the shared integer conversion method.

Changes: Reader diagnostics and pointer handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scalar and schema integer diagnostics
src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/ParseNodes/ValueNode.cs, src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/Schemas/AsyncApiJsonSchemaDeserializer.cs, test/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Tests/ReaderErrorDetails_Should.cs
Integer and boolean conversion errors include the rejected value and expected format. Schema integer fields use GetIntegerValue(). Tests check invalid integer diagnostic details.
JSON pointer traversal
src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/ParseNodes/JsonPointerExtensions.cs, test/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Tests/ReaderErrorDetails_Should.cs
Find checks array indices and object properties explicitly. Tests cover invalid paths and traversal through an object and array.
Reference-resolution diagnostics
src/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers/AsyncApiJsonDocumentReader.cs, test/ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Tests/ReaderErrorDetails_Should.cs
Sync and async resolution add a generic error only when resolution added no diagnostic. Stream deserialization errors include the exception message and reference path. A test checks the missing-reference error.

Malformed integers can receive the wrong explanation, and some invalid JSON pointers can resolve. These bounded issues should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use invariant culture when parsing the array index token.

int.TryParse(token, out var index) uses the current culture. A culture-specific negative sign or digit format can change which tokens parse as an index. RFC 6901 array indices are ASCII digits only. The index < 0 check also lets a token such as -0 or +1 resolve to an element. Use NumberStyles.None and CultureInfo.InvariantCulture so the parser accepts only unsigned ASCII digits.

Proposed fix
-                    if (!int.TryParse(token, out var index) || index < 0 || index >= sequence.Count)
+                    if (!int.TryParse(token, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.None, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out var index) || index >= sequence.Count)

Remove at most one leading sign.

If the value is "+-1" or "--1", TrimStart('+', '-') removes both signs. The helper then reports an out-of-range integer instead of an invalid format. Remove only one optional leading sign before the digit check.
