Enum list generates duplicates entry.
Describe the bug Array parameters and attributes with a list of string generates duplicates value. This regardless of the parameter being defined in request body or query parameters. Or if the array list is an enum or not.
In normal cases that might be fine, but this breaks attributes with the uniqueItems: true clause.
This obviously will get rejected due to the uniqueItems clause and failing the happy path tests.
To work around it I have to hard set the attribute list into the refData file which is not ideal.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
Define a parameter or attribute as follow:
type: array uniqueItems: true # Optional items: type: string
Run cats generate -c swagger.yaml -X POST --path /path
The fuzzer will generate a list with the same value twice. ['valuea','valuea'] regardless of the parameter being defined in request body or query parameters.
Expected behaviour Generated array should have a single occurrence of the value.
Environment:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| OS Name | Linux |
| OS Version | 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 |
| OS Arch | amd64 |
| Binary Type | native |
| Cats Version | 13.2.0 |
| Cats Build | 2025-05-12T05:45:14Z |
| Term Width | 121 |
| Term Type | xterm-256color |
| Shell | /bin/bash |
Unfortunately, I cannot share the api Swagger and the FunctionalFuzzer directly, however I believe the behavior is not specific to the functionalFuzzer and also exists in regular fuzzers.
@sauvainr Thanks you for the report. Indeed, uniqueness is ignored for now. I’ll work on a fix for the next release.
