[BUG] 3.1.0 specs generate separate nested classes for shared enum types

[shorn]

Description

OpenAPI 3.1.0 generates separate nested classes for shared enum types when the enum is defined in the global schema via a $ref.

The example project I've linked shows that a shared class is generated (Fruit) if the enum is not defined via a $ref, but generates nested enum classes if the enum is defined via a $ref (Vegetable).

The difference can be seen here in the definitions of the /generateFruitPallet and /generateVegetablePallet endpoints: https://github.com/shorn/openapi-fruitbat/blob/main/shared-enum-3.1/src/main/openapi/shared-enum.yaml

The only structural difference between those two endpoints is defining the enum via a $ref.

You can also see in this project that if the 3.0.3 spec is used, shared enum classes are generate regardless of whether the enum is defined via a $ref.

openapi-generator version

7.0.1 As per https://github.com/shorn/openapi-fruitbat/blob/4cd5a6125d8f2a5039d4fa3fd04ac7936eef04f6/shared-enum-3.1/build.gradle#L15

The example project shows that the enum class are correctly generated when using openapi verison 3.0.3 (but still same generator version 7.0.1)

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

OpenApi 3.1.0: https://github.com/shorn/openapi-fruitbat/blob/main/shared-enum-3.1/src/main/openapi/shared-enum.yaml OpenAPI 3.0.3: https://github.com/shorn/openapi-fruitbat/blob/main/shared-enum-3.0/src/main/openapi/shared-enum.yaml

Generation Details

Example github project: https://github.com/shorn/openapi-fruitbat

Steps to reproduce

Execute the :shared-enum-3.0:generateSpringServerInterface and :shared-enum-3.0:generateSpringServerInterface.

Then inspect the generated java code in each project's build/generated/spring directory. You will see that the 3.0.3 spec generates a shared class for the Vegetable type. But the 3.1.0 spec generates nested enums that are not assignment compatible.

You can also see the problem is present with other generator types by executing the generateTypescriptClient tasks.

None that I could find.

Suggest a fix

I don't see how; but if it is decided that this behavior is "working as intended" - consider adding explicit documentation of that because it's going to cause people a lot of issues (especially for Java projects).

did a test with latest master and the output compiles without issues

can you please give it another try with the latest master?

snapshot version available in the readme.

I use docker to run openapi (because of issues with $ref relative references on Windows). Is there a dockerhub tag that corresponds to master?

I tried with latest and it grabbed version:

> Task :shared-enum-3.1:printOpenApiVersion
7.5.0-SNAPSHOT

7.5.0-SNAPSHOT still generates separate duplicate nested classes for the Vegetable types instead of a shared top-level class.

EDIT

Tried it with 7.5.0 and 7.6.0-SNAPSHOT on 2024-04-23, still generates duplicate Vegatable types duplicated within the Palette and Basket types.

can you please give it another try when you've time?

latest (docker tag) refers to the latest master
