Inline oneOf variants with properties/required fail: "Invalid property in union"

Empieza ejecutando openapi-python-client generate --path spec.yaml con la reproducción mínima y sigue el procesamiento de uniones de esquemas que informa de Invalid property in union. Como en el issue no se menciona ningún archivo de código fuente ni ruta de prueba, localiza primero el manejo existente de variantes oneOf/anyOf basadas en $ref. El trabajo estará terminado cuando las variantes inline con properties y required se generen correctamente, mientras el workaround documentado de $ref siga funcionando.

Description

When a schema uses oneOf with inline object variants (each having properties and required but no $ref), the generator fails with:

Invalid property in union <property_name>

This happens regardless of whether anyOf or oneOf is used. The issue is that the generator cannot process inline discriminated union variants that define their own properties — it expects $ref pointers to named component schemas.

Minimal Reproduction

openapi: "3.0.3"
info:
  title: Test
  version: "1.0"
paths: {}
components:
  schemas:
    MyModel:
      type: object
      properties:
        rules:
          type: array
          items:
            type: object
            oneOf:
              - properties:
                  rule_type:
                    type: string
                    enum: ["type_a"]
                  value_a:
                    type: string
                required: ["rule_type", "value_a"]
              - properties:
                  rule_type:
                    type: string
                    enum: ["type_b"]
                  value_b:
                    type: integer
                required: ["rule_type", "value_b"]

$ openapi-python-client generate --path spec.yaml
Unable to process schema /components/schemas/MyModel:
Invalid property in union rules_item

Workaround

Extracting each variant into a named component schema and using $ref works:

components:
  schemas:
    RuleTypeA:
      type: object
      properties:
        rule_type:
          type: string
          enum: ["type_a"]
        value_a:
          type: string
      required: ["rule_type", "value_a"]
    RuleTypeB:
      type: object
      properties:
        rule_type:
          type: string
          enum: ["type_b"]
        value_b:
          type: integer
      required: ["rule_type", "value_b"]
    MyModel:
      type: object
      properties:
        rules:
          type: array
          items:
            oneOf:
              - $ref: "#/components/schemas/RuleTypeA"
              - $ref: "#/components/schemas/RuleTypeB"
