Where I do wrong?

I may be wrong, but I think in your swagger.yaml file you'll want to have the value of the $ref property under /auth/login be './test.yaml#/test' instead of 'test.yaml#/test'.

So the code would look like this:

swagger: '2.0'
info:
  version: 1.0.0
  title: My title
  description: My description
schemes:
  - http
  - https
host: localhost:3000
basePath: /api/v1
# format of the responses to the client (Accepts)
consumes:
  - application/json
produces:
  - application/json
paths:
  /auth/login:
    $ref: './test.yaml#/test'

and test.yaml would remain the same. Your only issue is how you're defining the file path. I'm also assuming that test.yaml and swagger.yaml are located in the same directory.

Let me know if this helps!
