Description

Generate an OpenAPI declaration file, which contains no models for ASPNETCORE. In the generated controllers an invalid namespace to Models is added, which does not exist.

      parameters:
        - name: MAC

Generation Details

openApiGeneratorConfig.json:

{
  "packageName": "DeviceRegistrationApi",
  "packageTitle": "DeviceRegistrationApi",
  "packageCopyright": "WD2023",
  "packageVersion": "1.0",
  "aspnetCoreVersion": "6.0",
  "buildTarget": "library",
  "isLibrary": "true",
  "operationIsAsync": "true",

  "nullableReferenceTypes": "true",
  "operationModifier": "abstract",
  "swashbuckleVersion": "6.0.0",
  "useNewtonsoft": "false",
  "sourceFolder": ""
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Create file device_registration_api.yaml containing the OpenAPI declaration
2. Create file openApiGeneratorConfig.json containing the generation details
3. Run openapi-generator-cli generate -i .\device_registration_api.yaml -g aspnetcore -c .\openApiGeneratorConfig.json -o .\out
4. Open file out/DeviceRegistrationApi/Controllers/APIApi.cs, which contains the line using DeviceRegistrationApi.Models;, however namespace Models does not exist and thus building the application will fail.

Suggest a fix

As no models are specified in the OpenAPI file, no models are generated and thus no Models namespace exists, which is correct. So the controllers should not have a namespace to Models, however the generator still adds a reference, which is wrong. I assume, controller generation does not check if there were models generated.
