v1.10.6 does not support absolute path in $ref

[dvemnt]

Describe the bug

The latest version of the parser does not support referencing by absolute path. It works in version 1.9.18.

How to Reproduce

1. Create Async API doc file with absolute path $ref and file on this path in same folder.
2. Try to build using HTML template.

asyncapi: "2.4.0"
defaultContentType: application/json

info:
  title: Test Absolute Path
  version: "1.0.0"

channels:
  TestOperation:
    publish:
      message:
        $ref: "/absolute-path/File.yaml"

Expected behavior

duplicate of asyncapi/generator#963 - I have the same problem :/

I don't think that's duplicate. asyncapi/generator#963 is about the spec and unsupported place for reference, here is about paths handling.

As far as I understand, the spec does no longer allow absolute paths in references?

Looks like, the spec still allow absolute paths in references, but generator (or parser) handles such paths in wrong way, as local paths, I think.

sorry but I'm unable to replicate your issue. I created a file that you shared and all was good.

I also opened a PR to show tests with different local references work https://github.com/asyncapi/generator/pull/1003

on message level references should and were always possible.

not sure where you got this message from, but spec is definitely still supporting $ref in message object

[dvemnt]

Hi, @derberg. I don't see absolute references in your PR, only relative references (here and here). And my issue still reproduces.

[derberg]

you're right, sorry, I misunderstood your initial example.

yes, I can replicate this problem. It is for sure something that should work, and worked before

As a workaround, add file: to the reference. And I'm moving this issue to parser repo, as it is bug in the repo, and not even the repo but the fact there was a move to another reference parser tool that do not work as expected: https://github.com/stoplightio/json-ref-resolver. So apparently some regression was introduced in functionality
