Description

Whenever the OpenAPI spec contains one of the anyOf or oneOf sections it will generate uncompilable .NET Core server code.
It will generate attributes and method signatures which contain a reference to the class AnyOf<modelnames>, or OneOf<modelnames> (where the <modelnames> part is the names of the models in that section).

For example, the following OpenApi spec snippet (taken from the example spec below):

"oneOf": [
  {
    "$ref": "#/components/schemas/CustomerModel"
  },
  {
    "$ref": "#/components/schemas/ProjectModel"
  }
]

would generate the following method (operation) signature:

[ProducesResponseType(statusCode: 200, type: typeof(OneOfCustomerModelProjectModel))]

It seems the referenced type in this signature was intended to be a base class to the generated CustomerModel and ProjectModel classes, but the base class is never generated (and the generated models don't inherit from it) so this method signature throws a compiler error.

Full example spec

Generation Details

Code generated using:

java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i ./swagger.json -g aspnetcore -o ./output --additional-properties="generateBody=false,classModifier=abstract,operationResultTask=true,aspnetCoreVersion=3.1,buildTarget=library,isLibrary=true,packageName=MyProject.GeneratedStubs,useSwashbuckle=false"

Steps to reproduce

Generate the example spec using the above generation cli
The resulting code should be uncompilable due to the missing OneOfProjectModelCustomerModel class

I haven't been able to solve this using templates (this issue seemingly occurs before the templates are invoked)
I'm not familiar enough with the source code of the generator to be able to pinpoint the exact moment the issue occurs.

Looking further into this it seems this does indeed occur before the templates are invoked.
Debugging the operations using --global-property debugOperations=true yields the following metadata for the mustache templates:
"openApiType" : "OneOfProjectModelCustomerModel"

I am seeing a similar issue in Java for one of the fields. We have a field called ipAddress and the description in swagger is as below.

ipAddress: description: The location the content is trying to be played from type: string oneOf: [ {format: ipv4}, {format: ipv6} ]

Instead of creating it as a String, the openapi-generator-maven-plugin is creating it as OneOfAnyTypeAnyType

csharp-netcore generator supports oneOf already so please give it a try to see if the implementation meets your requirement.

Then you can plot the implementation to aspnetcore-generator or sponsor someone from the community to do it.
