Initialization error for input check

[Starry-x]

Short description

When I was upgrading OPA to the version after 0.57.0, the custom input.other_token field in my code stopped working. The input is passed from the request after starting OPA. Now it cannot be started.

Examples:

• Version: all versions after 0.57.0
• Input: {"input": {"other_token": "Bearer xxx"}}
• Policy:

bearer_token = t {
	v := input.other_token
	startswith(v, "Bearer ")
	t := substring(v, count("Bearer "), -1)
}

• Error:

error: initialization error: 1 error occurred: rules/utils/jwt.rego:10: rego_type_error: undefined ref: input.other_token
        input.other_token
              ^
              have: "other_token"
              want (one of): ["body" "client_certificates" "headers" "identity" "method" "params" "path"]

-->

Expected behavior

OPA can start.

Additional context

I found it can be start by add --skip-known-schema-check, but this is not safe. I wonder if this can be resolved at the code level?

Hi there! That schema is only checked for the system.authz package, which is used for authentication/authorization policies protecting OPA's own REST API. Using that package name for other purposes is not recommended, so if that's the case I would suggest renaming it to something else.

Thank you, I am not defined in system.authz; I am defined in jwt.rego. However, I imported data.utils.jwt in system.authz, which is why there is this issue. Because I want to share the jwt verify related code between system.authzand user policy checks.

That's interesting, and certainly a reasonable thing to do. I guess the workaround is to disable the schema check like you do alrrady, but I wonder what a better solution would look like. We could the check only on system.authz and sub-modules, but OTOH, there might be cases where you want to have the schema check extend also to dependencies 🤔

@johanfylling @ashutosh-narkar any ideas?
