Refit code generation doesn't work with extern aliases

[georgy93]

Hello!

I'm having trouble implementing Refit into a project I'm working on, because one of the interfaces used for Rest communication is using "extern alias" . It is needed because otherwise we are having conflicts with namespaces and classes from company nuggets we are referencing.

However, the extern alias seems to break code generation and I'm getting compile time errors from Refit.

Can detecting & resolving extern aliases be done in the scope of Refit library?

Extern alias should work with v6. Do you have a repro?

Hi Clair!

Here is a sample repo https://github.com/georgy93/RefitCodeGenIssuesWithExternAlias

In my original post, I forgot to mention that I'm using the latest version of Refit library.

Attempting to build this solution results in:

This is happening for us on 6.3.2. Any update on a fix?
