Description

In my Swagger 2 spec, I have a Definition with an array property. Its items are defined as strings with an enum-erated list of values. When I use the "android" generator, it incorrectly HTML-encodes the List definition, resulting in a syntax error.

The property looks like:

        "gender": {
          "type": "array",
          "items": {
            "type": "string",
            "enum": [
              "Male",
              "Female"
            ]
          }
        },

and the resulting Java code looks like:

  public enum List<GenderEnum> {
     Male,  Female, 
  };

Thank you for this issue.

The feature you are describing is supported by the Java generators.

Often the mistake is to use {{type}} instead of {{{type}}} in the template (or vice versa).

[jacobweber]

@jmini I think that's likely. I haven't had this issue with the Java generators; only the Android one.

The actual problem here, is that the property is recognized as a single value of type GenderEnum, which, in turn, as a value List<String>, whereas it should be a value of type List<GenderEnum> and GenderEnum should use String type.
There is the same issue with the Kotlin-client generator (gradle plugin 3.3.4)
I'm not sure how to fix it.

I am not familiar with the android and kotlin generator, but what you described is solved in the Java generators (list of enums...).
