Why can't I use absolute path to the z leaf, i.e., /ext:c/z?
What if the module ext
also defined
container c {
leaf z {
type string;
}
}
You would then get an ambiguity, hence the special functions. The exact extension instance is required because you may even have several extension instances with the same data nodes.
If creating data nodes defined inside an extension instance, use ::lyd_new_ext_path().
It does not say you must use the function for all the nodes but you can :)
Hello,
I was recently trying to work with YANG nodes defined in extension instance. I was looking at this libyang unit test and I don't understand the format of the path for the
lyd_new_path
call. Why can't I use absolute path to thez
leaf, i.e.,/ext:c/z
? The return is thenLY_EVALID
with a log messageNot found node "c" in path.
Also, documentation of
lyd_new_path
that* If creating data nodes defined inside an extension instance, use ::lyd_new_ext_path().
which is not entirely true according to this paragraph which states that only first node must be created using thelyd_new_ext_*
functions.
