How to reload local JSON schema in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I'm developing a JSON schema and referenced it for tests in another project.

When I edit the JSON schema, changes are not applied until I reload the window in other project.

Answer 1

Go into File > Preferences > Settings, search for JSON and find the following setting: JSON > Schema Download: Enable

If you toggle that off and on VS Code will grab the latest version of the schema files.

Answer 2

Very quick workaround to force vs code to reload the file: add a dummy parameter at the end of the schema url, e.g.

{"$schema": "file:///home/user/foo.json"}

becomes

{"$schema": "file:///home/user/foo.json?dummy=1"}

For yaml files:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=file:///home/user/foo.json?dummy=1
