Validation fails on contained resources

[BillyYarosh-WellSky]

When building a FHIR::MedicationRequest, you can include the medication in the contained section. In this case, the medicationReference is a relatively linked resource. Validation fails in this case.

Example:

puts FHIR::MedicationRequest.new(
  medicationReference: 
    FHIR::Reference.new(
      reference: "#medication-1234",
      display: 'Med Name',
      type: 'Medication'
    ),
  contained: [FHIR::Medication.new]
).validate

This outputs the error:

"medicationReference"=>["MedicationRequest.medication[x]: incorrect Reference type, expected Medication"]

In the case of medicationReference, you should be able to specify a reference URL this is a hash tag. More info here: http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/references.html#contained

I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but the I believe the contained resource should be FHIR::Medication.new(id: 'medication-1234'). Does that help?

[BillyYarosh-WellSky]

Sorry, I didn't supply a fully built resource but just enough to exercise the issue. Yes, if I add an ID, the issue persists.

[BillyYarosh-WellSky]

Ah yes, the ID is required in the contained medication. The specific issue was that my ID was an integer type so when the library checks equality it fails because 1234 != '1234'.
