TypeError when editing ressources

[amadzar]

I am Using Ckan 2.10.1 and just installed ckanext-validation. I have linked the required presets and the required presets
scheming.dataset_schemas = ckanext.validation.examples:ckan_default_schema.json scheming.presets = ckanext.scheming:presets.json Ckanext.validation:presets.json
Now when I click on an existing resource and even when I am not changing anything but clicking on "Update resource" I get this error:
TypeError: str cannot be used as validator because it is not a user-defined function. Why is that and how can I fix this? I am quite new to the ckan world and it's also the first time working for me with ckanext-validation so maybe I am just missing something I don't know. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

What is your ckanext-scheming version? Older versions may cause this error.

I'm encountering the same error even after a clean installation. I've attempted this with CKAN version 2.10.1 and Python versions 3.10, 3.8.13, and 3.9.18, and in all cases, I encountered the same error when attempting to upload a file. Unfortunately, I don't have any additional information to provide about the error at this time. Here's the content of my ckan.ini file:

The example schema references the unicode validator when it should be unicode_safe.
