Description

I defined a schema object type enum in yaml file as per the reusable enum samples docs/data-models/enums and generated the cpprestsdk API client library. Getting a compilation error while upon compiling the API client library.

openapi-generator version

openapi-generator-cli 5.3.0-SNAPSHOT

Generation Details

java -jar ./openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g cpp-restsdk -i test.yaml -o ./test/

Steps to reproduce

Create a test.yaml file with the provided (above) sample configuration. (validated)

java -jar ./openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar validate -i test.yaml
Validating spec (test.yaml)
No validation issues detected.

Generate the Client API library.

java -jar ./openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g cpp-restsdk -i test.yaml -o ./test/

Compile the C++ Client API library.

cd test
cmake -DCPPREST_ROOT=/usr -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" -DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
make

Error Log

The generated client code cannot match the template parameterToString() conversion for enums.
