schema maxItems: %w

Error message

schema maxItems: %w

What it means

parseSchemaTag validates each `schema` struct tag token on typed shortcut argument fields. The `maxItems` token must be a non-negative integer; if parseNonnegativeInt rejects the value, the underlying error is wrapped with the "schema maxItems: " prefix and compilation of the field fails.

Solutions

  1. Use a plain non-negative integer for maxItems, e.g. schema:"optional;maxItems=100".
  2. Ensure there are no spaces or units inside the tag value.
  3. Drop the maxItems token if no upper bound is required.

Example fix

// before
Tags []string `schema:"optional;maxItems=0x10"`
// after
Tags []string `schema:"optional;maxItems=16"`
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

func validMaxItems(tag string) bool {
	for _, tok := range strings.Split(tag, ";") {
		if k, v, ok := strings.Cut(tok, "="); ok && k == "maxItems" {
			n, err := strconv.Atoi(v)
			return err == nil && n >= 0
		}
	}
	return true
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: A field tag such as `schema:"optional;maxItems=ten"`, `maxItems=` (empty value), `maxItems=-5`, or a value that overflows the integer parser, encountered while compiling a shortcut input struct.

Common situations: Typos or accidental units in the tag (e.g. "maxItems=10 items"), negative limits copied from other configs, or malformed tags after manual editing.

Understand the failure class

Background: Schema validation failed / invalid input schema: payload rejected because its shape doesn't match the expected schema — this error's family across 28 libraries.
