Duplicate object schemas with 'ArrayItemschema' name detected. about autorest

[timotheeguerin]

This can often happen when you have anonymous schemas in your spec and autorest will try to give it a name like the parent schema name + the property name (e.g. Array + Itemschema), can you share the spec?

I do not believe you can suppress that and if you did it would then cause some invalid code to be generated where 2 classes/type will have the same name.

Thanks, yes, the spec is here. Unfortunately its a third party that we are about to pay for their service, and its not likely they will fix their spec.

Hi @Strandedpirate the errors seems to be coming from non named enums inside of arrays there is 9 of them. for example if you search for the one with this description

 0 = Local_Store ,  1 = eBayOrder ,  2 = eBaySingleItem ,  3 = Yahoo ,  4 = Amazon ,  5 = PriceGrabber ,  6 = Website ,  7 = Buy ,  12 = NewEggMall ,  15 = Magento ,  16 = QuickBooks ,  17 = RMS ,  18 = Cart32 ,  19 = Sears ,  20 = FBA ,  21 = Wholesale ,  22 = Overstock ,  23 = NewEggdotcom ,  24 = Etsy ,  25 = Bonanza ,  26 = PriceFalls ,  27 = Wayfair ,  28 = UnbeatableSale ,  29 = VendorCentral ,  30 = Hayneedle ,  31 = SmartBargains ,  32 = uBid ,  33 = ATGStores ,  34 = StacksAndStacks ,  35 = Sharkstores ,  36 = BestBuy ,  37 = Kohls ,  38 = Staples ,  39 = OneStopPlus ,  40 = Meijer ,  41 = Sonsi ,  42 = Walmart ,  43 = HSN ,  44 = NewEgg_Business ,  45 = KMart ,  46 = Wish ,  47 = SPRichards ,  48 = FingerHut ,  49 = Groupon ,  50 = Walmart_Marketplace ,  51 = ShopHQ ,  52 = PriceMinister ,  53 = GS ,  54 = DrugStore ,  55 = MercadoLibre ,  56 = JET ,  57 = ElevenMain ,  58 = SearsVendor ,  59 = Choxi ,  60 = TradeMe ,  61 = Tanga ,  62 = Target ,  63 = GrouponMarketplace ,  64 = Reverb ,  65 = BedBathAndBeyond ,  66 = Dropship_Central ,  67 = DSW ,  68 = Houzz ,  69 = Gilt ,  70 = BestBuyDS ,  71 = TopHatter ,  72 = HomeDepot ,  73 = MassGenie ,  74 = Cdiscount ,  75 = GrouponGateway ,  76 = SBN ,  77 = GoogleExpress ,  78 = Target_Plus ,  79 = WFS ,  80 = BackMarket

Autorest is currently in maintenance mode as we are moving to a new language for defining apis so changing anything related to naming or investing too much time here is not something we can really do.

I know the experience here is pretty bad to figure out which ones are the offending schemas but autorest does also provide some directive you can use to patch the swagger so you don't need to actually change the file.
For example: https://github.com/Azure/autorest/blob/main/docs/generate/directives.md

I would maybe look at some alternative openapi generators as autorest might not see much upgrades in the future

Ok, thanks. I'll check out the directive and see if I can get around this issue.
