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

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"

Version

• openapi-python-client: 0.28.2

Comece executando openapi-python-client generate --path spec.yaml com a reprodução mínima e rastreie o processamento de uniões de schema que reporta Invalid property in union. Como nenhum arquivo-fonte ou caminho de teste é indicado na issue, localize primeiro o tratamento existente para variantes oneOf/anyOf baseadas em $ref. O trabalho estará concluído quando variantes inline com properties e required forem geradas com sucesso, enquanto o workaround documentado com $ref continuar funcionando.
