JSON Schema validation is not working - json

Question

I have a json response like below. In the views array may or may not contain actions array.
In the reponse If any of view array contains actions object , then i have to validate that actions data with json schema(schema1.json)
And in the schema i mentioned the action propertes like(type,label,localizedlabel) as required ones.
But when I modify key or value type of this type,label,localizedlabel in the response does not output any errors.
Tested via( https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/). what wrong with my schema?
How can i validate actions object only whenever it present inside any of view array?
schema1.json

There's nothing wrong with your schema. It should do what you need if used properly. Because it only describes the "views" part of the schema you would need to iterate through your response and pass just the "views" part of each item to the validator one at a time.
Or, you could add enough of the response structure to the schema to validate everything at once. Then you could just pass your whole response to the validator.
{
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"views": { "$ref": "schema1.json" }
}
}
}
