Description
Basically the YAML is correct but the validation fails when anchors or aliases are present.
openapi-generator version
5.4.0 from homebrew
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
spec.yaml.zip to reproduce the behaviour.
Steps to reproduce
This will fail:
openapi-generator generate -i ~/Downloads/spec.yaml -g javascript -o ~/Downloads/output/
but by disabling the validation it will work
openapi-generator generate -i ~/Downloads/spec.yaml -g javascript -o ~/Downloads/output/ --skip-validate-spec

Research direction
Start by extracting spec.yaml and running the reported openapi-generator command, then compare it with the same command using --skip-validate-spec. Trace the validation entry point responsible for rejecting anchors or aliases; done means the supplied specification validates and generation succeeds without that flag.
