Description

Depending if an enum is specified inline or not a the specified default value is assigned (or not). If defined inline (first case) a default value is assigned, as expected. If the enum is referenced via $ref, then 'null' is assigned, which should be changed.

openapi-generator version

As far as i know it's not a regression and I use OpenAPI Generator Version 3.2.3 and 3.3.4.

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

in both cases:

paths:
  /testenum:
    post:
      requestBody:
        content:
          application/json:
            schema:
              $ref: '#/components/schemas/TestObject'

works:

components:
  schemas:
    TestObject:
      type: object
      properties:
        myEnum:
          type: string
          default: FIRSTVALUE
          enum:
            - FIRSTVALUE
            - SECONDVALUE

and produces:

public class TestObjectDto {
  @JsonProperty("myEnum")
  private MyEnumEnum myEnum = MyEnumEnum.FIRSTVALUE;
}

doesn't work:

components:
  schemas:
    TestObject:
      type: object
      properties:
        myEnum:
          $ref: '#/components/schemas/MyEnum'
...
    MyEnum:
      type: string
      default: FIRSTVALUE
      enum:
      - FIRSTVALUE
      - SECONDVALUE

and produces:

public class TestObjectDto {
  @JsonProperty("myEnum")
  private MyEnumDto myEnum = null;
}

Command line used for generation

I used the maven generator plugin as follows:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.openapitools</groupId>
                <artifactId>openapi-generator-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.3.4</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>generate</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                        <configuration>

                            <modelNameSuffix>Dto</modelNameSuffix>
                            <configOptions>
                                <sourceFolder>src/main/java</sourceFolder>
                                <library>spring-boot</library>
                                <java8>true</java8>
                                <dateLibrary>java8</dateLibrary>
                                <useTags>true</useTags>
                                <interfaceOnly>true</interfaceOnly>
                                <delegatePattern>true</delegatePattern>
                                <swaggerDocketConfig>false</swaggerDocketConfig>
                                <configPackage>${project.groupId}.config</configPackage>
                            </configOptions>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Steps to reproduce

Create an enum as described and see if default value is assigned.

Related issues/PRs

Suggest a fix

The expected behaviour in second case should be an default value assigment of the enum class like so:
private MyEnumDto myEnum = MyEnumDto.FIRSTVALUE;

Thank you for opening this issue!

I think this is the same issue as in #1927, toDefaultValue in AbstractJavaCodegen needs to unalias the schema.

[jmini]

I have pushed #2001 to solve this issue.

[jmini]

PR #2001 was merged, can you try with 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT and let us a comment here?

I am closing this issue. please reopen if you need anything.

[ajdergute]

Thank's a lot for this superfast bug fix. I tried it today with 4.0.0-beta2 and it works.

[jmini]

Some follow up is requested: see #2127

I think this issue has re-emerged, at least on python generated code? Fwiw, I'm usually using 4.3.1, but have also tried 5.0.0, for the sake of debugging, and found the same issue occurring.
