Description

When using inheritance (discriminator), the generated subclasses gains fields in their constructors for other subclasses fields. Also, the superclass, gets all the fields of all the subclasses combined. Some getters are also duplicated resulting in compile errors.

It seems all the fields are merged together.

Generation Details

Using Micronaut Gradle plugin:

    openapi {
        version = "6.11.0"
        server(file(layout.buildDirectory.file("tmp/$specFile"))) {
            apiPackageName = basePackage + ".api"
            modelPackageName = basePackage + ".api.model"
            useOptional = true
            useReactive = false
        }
    }

Research direction

Start with the OpenAPI declaration gist and the Micronaut Gradle plugin configuration, then compare the generated superclass and subclasses in the linked output gist. Reproduce generation with version 6.11.0 and verify that each class contains only its own and inherited fields, with no duplicated getters or compile errors.
