Description

OpenAPI SDK for Golang generates two methods to execute an endpoint (e.g., MyEndpoint and MyEndpointExecute)

MyEndpointExecute is not accepting context nor possible to set the context on the payload object as its ctx is private.

This blocks from setting auth token such: context.WithValue(context.TODO(), myclient.ContextAccessToken, SecretToken)

Suggested solution: to avoid breaking changes, please add WithContext to each generated request object.

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the generated Go request objects and the MyEndpointExecute path to see how the private ctx is used. Confirm how context.WithValue supplies the access token, then verify that each generated request object supports the requested context setting without breaking the existing endpoint methods.
