Description
Ever since updating to v7.4.0 which claims to 'fix anyof, oneof mixed primitive object parse error' I've been unable to generate, producing the following errors:
error CS0019: Operator '??' cannot be applied to operands of
type 'Guid' and '<throw expression>'
Which leads to this generated C# code:
public ParentId(Guid actualInstance)
{
this.IsNullable = false;
this.SchemaType= "anyOf";
this.ActualInstance = actualInstance ?? throw new ArgumentException("Invalid instance found. Must not be null.");
}
error CS0019: Operator '??' cannot be applied to operands
of type 'TaskStatusFilter' and '<throw expression>'
Where TaskStatusFilter is an enum, and leads to the following C# code:
public TaskStatus(TaskStatusFilter actualInstance)
{
this.IsNullable = false;
this.SchemaType= "anyOf";
this.ActualInstance = actualInstance ?? throw new ArgumentException("Invalid instance found. Must not be null.");
}
Note that before v7.4.0 these exact issues did not exist, but I had issues with AnyOf instead, which is why I wanted to upgrade to solve this particular issue.
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'AnyOf' could not be f
ound (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
(related to a different part of the spec that uses 'AnyOf' including optional null value)
openapi-generator version
7.4.0
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
Example (shortened) openapi.json
Steps to reproduce
generate C# project with any specification file containing similar anyOf that are nullable

Suggest a fix
The null-coalescing operator should not be applied to objects of type Guid or otherwise non-nullable types (eg custom types like TaskStatusFilter here)

Research direction
Start with the C# anyOf generation path responsible for the constructors shown in the report, using the attached openapi.json as the reproduction input. Generate and compile the C# project; done means Guid and enum-backed constructors no longer emit invalid null-coalescing expressions.
