Description

We frequently specialize base types in order to indicate specific domain meaning and to apply domain constraints centrally.
E.g.:

    Uri:
      type: string
      format: uri

We also frequently "abuse" allOf to combine property-specific documentation with schema references:

    Callback:
      properties:
        href:
          description: property description here
          allOf:
            - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Uri'

When these two (string subtype plus allOf) come together, it breaks the generated validateJsonObject:

  public static void validateJsonObject(JsonObject jsonObj) throws IOException {
      //...
      URI.validateJsonObject(jsonObj.getAsJsonObject("href"));
      //    ^^^ cannot find symbol
  }

oneOf is similarly broken.

openapi-generator version

6.2.1

Regression: I upgraded from 5.4.0, where it still worked, to 6.2.1.

The error goes back to 6.0.0 with the new okhttp-gson-nextgen templates

Generation Details

openapi-generator generate \
    -i /project/src/main/resources/openapi.yaml \
    -o /tmp/openapi \
    -g java \
    --api-package org.example.api \
    --model-package org.example.model \
    -p java8=true,dateLibrary=java8,hideGenerationTimestamp=true,sourceFolder=java

Steps to reproduce

• Generate code for the given schema using the above generator options
• Try to compile the code / have a look at generated Callback.java class

Suggest a fix

The generator needs to check if the target type of a field to be validated is actually under its control, or skip the nested validate code.

Also, in our case, the additional validation isn't needed at all (validation happens on the returned values anyway). It would be awesome to have a generator option to skip the whole thing, including the CustomTypeAdapterFactory with its double conversion (JsonObject, bean).

I too have hit this issue. Same problem.
It seems that in the generate code, the URI datatype is using java.net.URI and not the one defined in my model.

[creckord]

@jimbydamonk that sounds like a slightly different problem. I specifically want to use java.net.URI here.

My issue is that the class using the URI property wrongly assumes it is a generated class with the expected validation methods the generator adds.

[Ragin-LundF]

We have a similar issue with those validateJsonObject methods.
In our case, it is a oneOf declaration of multiple objects, and it generates in the end a TypeAdapter<Object> plus the real required TypeAdapters.

In theory, the oneOf (and maybe the allOf and anyOf) Sets of objects should not contain classes which the generator has not generated from the API to avoid calling this validateJsonObject method.

Same issue for attributes representing binaries.

type: string
format: binary

Excerpt from compilation error:

 error: cannot find symbol
[ERROR]   symbol:   method validateJsonObject(JsonObject)
[ERROR]   location: class File

[valepakh]

Same thing with enums.

up!

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The field `operator` in the JSON string is not defined in the `xxx` properties. JSON: {"id":158}

[tai-tran-tan]

I had the same problem generating by gradle plugin 6.6.0.
Overcame by adding supportingFilesConstrainedTo = ["JSON"], don't know why it works.

Hope I can save a bit of your time.
