Validate on publishing for missing general properties when catalog properties are used

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hi everybody,


Currently the API Manager does not recognize if an API provider is trying to deploy an API defining a property on catalog level (e.g. x-ibm-configuration.catalogs.Dev.properties), and misses to define it in the global properties (x-ibm-configuration.properties).


Example YAML:


x-ibm-configuration:

properties:

target-url-asia:

value: 'https://defaultvalue.url.com'

description: The URL of the target service

encoded: false

...

catalogs:

dev:

properties:

target-url-asia: 'https://some-dev-lb.url.org'

target-url-europe: 'https://another-dev-lb.url.org'


In this example when calling the API in Dev catalog, the target-url-europe will not be available to be used in the assembly. This is very confusing to the users and they run into this on a regular basis.


I think the API Manager should recognize this on deployment and return an error message stating the missing global property and its name.

We are deploying using the API Product API, so I think this would be a good place to implement the validation for this.
