Writing schema with prefixes and then writing same schema without prefixes results in no-op #603
Description
Let's call this the "old" schema:
definition namespace/subscription {
relation subscriber: namespace/user
permission is_subscribed = subscriber
}
definition namespace/user {
}
And this the "new" schema:
definition subscription {
relation subscriber: user
permission is_subscribed = subscriber
}
definition user {
}
Start SpiceDB:
spicedb serve-testingWrite the old schema:
zed schema write old.zedWrite the new schema with tracing enabled:
zed schema write new.zed --log-level=traceSee that the written schema still has the prefixes:
10:50AM TRC writing schema request={"schema":"definition namespace/subscription {\n\trelation subscriber: namespace/user\n\tpermission is_subscribed = subscriber\n}\n\ndefinition namespace/user {}"}
This is due to our rewriting logic, and was part of serverless support. This may be fixed by the refactors in #597, but if it's not we should fix it.
It's an edge case but it's a sharp edge.

The current behavior is correct, right now. It will be incorrect starting in April. Leaving open so that we can fix it then.
