Description

The kotlin generator and the generated code will not compile as imports for enum are missing.

openapi-generator version

v7.10.0, also tried latest (as of 2025/01/10).

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

Please provide email to send url in private.

Steps to reproduce
  • Run generator
openapi-generator \
    generate \
    --package-name com.name.generated \
    -i https://.../...-swagger.json \
    --global-property models,modelDocs=false,modelTests=false,apis,apiDocs=false,apiTests=false,supportingFiles \
    -g kotlin \
    -o .
  • Try and compile code.
  • Several files will not compile, e.g: CancelPoliciesApi.kt line 156 COMPACT enum has not been imported.
  • If I go through each file with issues and add the import for the enum by hand the issue is resolved.
