Description
Using allOf composed of multiple objects in a response does not generate a class combining these multiple objects. Instead it uses the first class defined in the allOf section.
openapi-generator version
Version 5.2.0:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.openapitools</groupId>
<artifactId>openapi-generator-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>5.2.0</version>
</plugin>
I have also tested with master (5.2.1-SNAPSHOT), commit fe9636e9.
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
Important part here is the allOf:
openapi: 3.0.0

Generation Details
generatorName: java
inputSpec: openapi.yaml
Steps to reproduce
mvn org.openapitools:openapi-generator-maven-plugin:5.2.0:generate \
-Dopenapi.generator.maven.plugin.inputSpec=openapi.yaml \
-Dopenapi.generator.maven.plugin.generatorName=java
Shows a warning:
[WARNING] allOf with multiple schemas defined. Using only the first one: A
It generates classes A and B. But when calling get(), the value returned by the call is A:
DefaultApi api = new DefaultApi();
A a = api.get();
I expected instead a composite object with A and B properties (attA and attB), like this (result from https://editor.swagger.io/):

@paulbors of course editing the spec is possible (and that’s the solution we used now), but this is not very convenient if the openapi evolves : we have to manually change our version to match the new version.
Besides, as you said editing the openapi is just a workaround.
That’s why I opened this issue : the fact that the generator does not generate right classes when providing a valid openapi spec (as in my example) is probably a bug and as so probably needs to be fixed.
I guess this is the cause for other issues :
And I have the same issue with html2 generators also…
I was referring to your comments here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68773761/openapi-generator-maven-plugin-java-does-not-handle-allof-properly
Right, so we know is not working with:
We know it works with:
So that’s the real bug here. Now let’s see which one of us (you or me) needs this to work first and puts out a Pull Request to this repo fixing it.
The beauty of open source code… 😃
Thanks @wing328 for your efforts. Great project by the way!
I have sent a small bounty of 50$
Can this please be fixed!!
For me a “A single $ref” also doesnt work when using allOf 😦
However my case is a bit different:
I get a java class that only has “customerId” field
Upgrading from swagger v2 to swagger v3 we hit exactly this issue when generating java code.
In swagger v2 codegen, allOf types would nicely be composed.
In swagger v3 only the first type in the allOf would become part of the model…
As the OpenAPITool community seems more active I now upgraded to OpenAPITools codegen.
Although it still logs a nonsense warning about multiple types in allOf (please merge https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/7446 or other PR removing this warning in the correct way!):
[main] WARN o.o.codegen.DefaultCodegen - allOf with multiple schemas defined. Using only the first one: XYZ [main] WARN o.o.codegen.DefaultCodegen - More than one inline schema specified in allOf:. Only the first one is recognized. All others are ignored.
as a matter of fact the generator 5.4.0 does correctly generate the complete composed java model!
PR merged. Please give it a try with the latest master via SNAPSHOT jar, docker images or build the project locally.
Also in case of
<generatorName>spring</generatorName>there is the same warning and only the first ref is used in the generation of the model. Tested with plugin version 5.4.0 and 6.0.0-beta@fbett thanks for the sponsorship 👍
@derkd I’ve filed https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/15039 to add a new openapi-generator normalizer rule to handle properties and allOf in the same level.
Tested with your spec and the output compiles without issue.
Command:
@consultantleon @nikosmoum @skwasniak I am not sure how you got a complete composite object. I’ve tried with the example in my first post, using the latest versions at the time of the plugin (
5.4.0and6.0.0-beta) and the latest supported openapi spec (3.0.3), and I still got the same result. Maybe you have a different case than the example in my first post.In my case, the Java
DefaultApiclass generated looks like this:The
get()method does not return a composite object ofAandB, but justA.Also, I’ve tried with Kotlin:
And got the same result (the method
get()only returnA:As @fastluca and others said, the bug is still present.
By the way, these 3 OpenAPI specs parts (replace in my initial
openapi.yaml):and:
and:
give exactly the same result in Java and Kotlin (
get()method always returnsA, and thebfield does not appear anywhere).+1 same issue
Also experencing this issue with the C# dotnet Core generator.
Any update on this? I am using 6.2.0 and still getting this warning and compilation errors in models generated.
Any update? This is still a blocker in 6.1.0
Using 5.4.0 with Java and agree with @consultantleon. The generated model is composed correctly from all schemas defined under the allOf, but this warning message is clearly wrong (allOf is supposed to be used with multiple schemas).
@koalo I’m not saying this is accordingly to open api spec, I’m just stating a workaround that works for
kotlinandkotlin-springgenerators. But you have the point, my wording “Where the correct is:” is misleading.Anyhow it is a bug that needs attention, as probably it is widely used feature.
P.S. My API spec is
swagger: "2.0".@skwasniak I am not sure if your second option is really correct. On https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/oneof-anyof-allof-not/ you can find the following example:
What am I getting wrong here?
The warning is gone butt still it does not work (using java)
