I am trying to reference some parameters that I use in multiple paths in the definition section of a swagger yaml file and even though the documentation is rendered as expected and the requests are created correctly, when using the try it out button, I am getting this error.
Swagger Error

Which composed of the first few lines of the separate example swagger.yaml and inside the definition is the parameters.yaml from inside the same folder
I tweaked the references so they point to the actual definition inside the same file and not to another file. If you copy and paste this yaml in the online editor you will get this exact error.
The problem for anyone that gets the same error, is that you cannot define a parameter inside the definitions section of a swagger object. You should define it in the section parameters and not definitions
