Description

When openapi-generator-cli validate is run on an OpenAPI in either YAML or JSON format, it reports a warning about an unused model when that model is referred by an array item. It is clearly an error since the model is referred so it isn't unused. The same warning doesn't appear when the model is referred by an object.

Steps to reproduce

Put the OpenAPI spec in a YAML file and run openapi-generator-cli validate on it, such as:

It will generate the following output:

Suggest a fix

Start by reproducing the issue with the YAML declaration in sample.yaml and run openapi-generator-cli validate -i sample.yaml. Trace how the validate command identifies referenced models, comparing the array-item reference with the object reference. Done means the Item schema is no longer reported as unused when referenced through array items.
