Description

Generating a cpp-restbed-server stub with an OpenAPI Specification containing an array of multiple types/objects through oneOf or anyOf will generate faulty code, resulting in referencing non-existant headers and objects.

I've tried the PHP generator as well, resulting in the same issue.

openapi-generator version

Tried with 4.1.3 and 4.2.0-SNAPSHOT

    void fromJsonString(std::string const& jsonString);

    // [...]

    /* Object "OneOffoobar" obviously doesn't exist either */
    std::vector<std::shared_ptr<OneOffoobar>> getVariantSelection() const;
    void setVariantSelection(std::vector<std::shared_ptr<OneOffoobar>> value);

Heterogeneous arrays should be supported in the code generator, many languages just don't support them out of the box, the YAML above might even work in a language that does actually does support them, haven't tried that out. Maybe it would be possible for the generator to detect object inheritance automatically, that way at least arrays of an object and their subclasses could be generated correctly.

I'm currently trying out the following workaround, where the array consists of objects (foobar) containing one or the other object (foo or bar). That way the code gets generated without issues!

components:
  schemas:      
    mySchema:
      type: object
      properties:
        variantSelection:
          type: array
          items:
            $ref: '#/components/schemas/foobar'

    foobar:
      type: object
      oneOf:
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/foo'
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/bar'

    foo:
      type: object
      properties:
        name:
          type: string

    bar:
      allOf:
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/foo'
        - type: object
          properties:
            value: 
              type: string

I'm relatively new to Rest, OpenAPI and C++, so bear with me! :) If there is any other, smarter, way to approach this problem, feel free to enlighten me!

    I am seeing a similar issue to this, however, in my case the Java code that is being generated is invalid. Essentially I get an invalid class generated. I have bypassed this by setting skipFormModel=true because it's a model. Do you need an example of this ?

    I can confirm the same issue as @saiejp with the 4.1.3 version of openapi-generator-maven-plugin.

    Here's a spec that reproduces the issue:

                  - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Lizard'
                discriminator:
                  propertyName: petType
        Pet:
          type: object
          required:
            - petType
          properties:
            petType:
              type: string
          discriminator:
            propertyName: petType
    
        Cat:
          allOf:
            - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
            - type: object
              # all other properties specific to a `Cat`
              properties:
                name:
                  type: string
        Dog:
          allOf:
            - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
            - type: object
              # all other properties specific to a `Dog`
              properties:
                bark:
                  type: string
        Lizard:
          allOf:
            - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
            - type: object
              # all other properties specific to a `Lizard`
              properties:
                lovesRocks:
                  type: boolean

    This results in a Pets.java class with the following property definition:

    private List<AnyOfCatDogLizard> heterogenousPets = null;

    Only there is no AnyOfCatDogLizard.java file generated.

    I have the very same problem with Pistache generator.

    For now I've switched from using oneOf inside array items to creating a simple schema referencing the schemas previously in oneOf. The request stays the same, just a new model gets created. Creates a favorable result.
