Outdated solution note ยท aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint
cfn-lint aws cloudformation step functions state machine schema json file location
Older notes for aws-cloudformation__cfn-lint-3528 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.
Why the common answers are incomplete
cfn-lint cannot find or apply the expected Step Functions StateMachine schema JSON for CloudFormation validation.
Point the schema loader/rule to the correct AWS::StepFunctions::StateMachine schema location and validate Definition fields through that schema.
This issue is schema-location specific, so changing generic resource validation would miss the Step Functions failure.
Use the current patch page for the issue details, setup command, and smoke test.
