Walkthrough

The JSON Schema generator now converts CRDs through OpenAPI, rewrites component references into $defs, embeds referenced schemas, and preserves unrestricted empty object schemas. Tests cover reference rewriting, component resolution, and additionalProperties behavior.

Explanation

The PR also changes CRDsToJSONSchemas to rebuild schemas through crd.ToOpenAPI, rewrite component references, and embed component schemas in $defs. The added TestRewriteComponentRefs and most of TestCRDsToJSONSchemasRewritesRefs cover that behavior. Issue #322 only requires removing the restrictive setting for empty objects. These changes alter reference resolution and output for all CRD schemas without a demonstrated connection to #322.

Cover an initialized empty Properties map.

EmptyObject leaves s.Properties nil. Initialize it as an empty map, matching the populated case's setup. Otherwise, a regression that checks only for nil could still pass while the empty-map behavior remains untested.

As per the PR objective, the regression target is an empty object map, not only a nil Properties field.

Suggested test setup
 		s := &jsonschema.Schema{
 			Type: "object",
 		}
+		s.Properties = jsonschema.NewProperties()

Use a table-driven test for the schema cases.

The test repeats the same setup, mutation, and assertion flow in two t.Run blocks. Put both cases in one table with PascalCase case names and args/want fields, then run one assertion loop.

As per path instructions, **/*_test.go files must use table-driven test structure with PascalCase test names and an args/want pattern.

This fix seems reasonable, but I wonder why we're getting an empty object for metadata here when in project-based schema generation we get a reference to the ObjectMeta schema, which lives in a separate file.

The main difference I see in the two code paths is that the project schema gen calls crd.ToOpenAPI rather than extracting the OpenAPI schema directly from the CRD. This helper does a bit of manipulation to improve the output. I wonder if we could/should call crd.ToOpenAPI in the CRDsToJSONSchemas path as well, to make our two schema generation methods match. @fernandezcuesta any thoughts?

Yeah makes sense, I wasn't focusing on the why as you mention. I'll see what we can do to amend it.
But in any case, I feel that the symptom here (an empty object ending up with additionalProperties: false) is something we should tackle too 🤔

Thanks for the update, @fernandezcuesta - I like the new implementation, and agree it's reasonable to also keep the empty object handling you originally added for cases where we do end up with an empty object definition for some reason.

Would it be reasonable to add a unit test that exercises the ref rewriting in CRDsToJSONSchemas? I think it's covered at a high level by the existing tests for crossplane xrd convert, but I'm not sure we're validating the ref rewriting itself there. Maybe there's a JSONSchema validator we could add to those tests?

Yep, adding some tests (a bit naïve but I guess enough to validate it)

82-108: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Initialize Properties in EmptyObject

Set Properties to jsonschema.NewProperties() before calling mutateJSONSchema. mutateJSONSchema uses s.Properties.Len() > 0, so the test must cover an initialized empty map and preserve AdditionalProperties == nil when len(Properties) == 0. Otherwise, a future nil-only check can regress an input with properties: {} to additionalProperties: false.

Add actionable context to conversion errors. CRDsToJSONSchemas identifies the affected CRD, GVK, or $defs component, but writeJSONSchemas returns these technical errors unchanged. When conversion fails, xpkg get-crds --json-schema writes no schemas and does not tell the user to inspect the CRD's OpenAPI v3 schema. Add a concise user-facing wrapper that preserves the affected identifier and suggests checking the CRD schema.

Use table-driven cases for the new tests.

TestRewriteComponentRefs and TestCRDsToJSONSchemasRewritesRefs each use one fixed fixture. Define named test cases with args and want fields, then run them as subtests. This makes additional reference locations and CRD shapes easier to add.
