The following is an excerpt from my OpenAPI specification that I use to generate my angular services with openapi-generator-cli: requestBody: content: multipart/form-data: schema: type: object properties: test: type: array items: type: string format: byte This request body fails to generate with the following warning output in the generation process: [main] WARN o.o.codegen.DefaultCodegen - Could not compute datatypeWithEnum from string, null I originally had a more complex structure of schemas, but I narrowed it down to this part: an object with a property that is an array containing a byte array (putting the items of the array in an object has no impact). If I were to move the byte array property into the test object, it generates, but as soon as I have one or multiple arrays containing the byte array it does not work anymore. I run the generator command through npm as a script: "openapi-generator-cli generate -i ../../../../openapi/openapi.yaml -g typescript-angular -o src/generated-sources/openapi --additional-properties=supportsES6=true,npmVersion=6.9.0,ngVersion=14", Previously I had the content type set to application/json and it worked fine, simply changing the content type to multipart/form-data made it not work anymore and I sadly am required to use multipart/form-data in the future. Help or suggestions are highly appreciated What I have tried: Using binary and or base64 as the format OpenAPI generator versions 5.1.1 and 6.4.0 turning on verbose logging (no extra lines of warning or errors are output) reducing my more complex data structure to the shown example read through following post: OpenAPI Example multipart form data which seems to depict a very similar data structure but it seems to work(?) found OpenAPI V3 Maven Plugin generates incomplete interface code with multiple file upload using multipart/form-data which seems to describe a similar issue but with a java generator found and tried solution from swagger-ui - open api 3, multipart/form-data array problem (change name of property to include [] brackets) with no change in outcome Continue reading...
