validate_schema does not report regex errors

[Farjaad]

The following raises a RegexpError instead of reporting that the regex is invalid

schema_definition = {
   "type" => "string",
    "pattern" => "/(/",
}
schema = JSONSchemer.schema(schema_definition)
errors = schema.validate_schema.to_a

Result: end pattern with unmatched parenthesis: /\/(\// (RegexpError)

Unfortunately, this is a known issue: #167 (comment)

JSONSchemer.schema still doesn't support invalid schemas (and likely won't). I don't want every schema object to have to take the hit of validating the provided schema before parsing. When working with schemas that are potentially invalid, it's best to check them with JSONSchemer.valid_schema? first.

Now that I think of it, JSONSchemer::Schema#valid_schema? and JSONSchemer::Schema#validate_schema were probably mistakes to begin with—may want to deprecate in the future.

Please use JSONSchemer.valid_schema? (or JSONSchemer.validate_schema) instead:

schema_definition = {
    "type" => "string",
    "pattern" => "/(/",
}

JSONSchemer.validate_schema(schema_definition).map { _1["error"] }
# ["value at `/pattern` does not match format: regex"]
