Description

I used Swagger for a while for my Web API. Lately I've added a couple of application services - nothing especial, like all others, but cannot test them, since getting JS exception. So, when I press "Try it out" button - I am getting this exception. I am using the latest Swashbuckle Nuget version. Before this Nuget update, I had another exception - "Cannot read property '$ref' of undefined" - on version 5.5.1.

I am getting three exceptions at once and they look the same. The page gets irresponsive afterwards:

I don't have this exception on another API calls, but how it can be related to the kind of calls, if there is no exception in ApplicationService constructor?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Swagger page failure with the affected application service calls and the "Try it out" button, using the latest Swashbuckle NuGet version and, for comparison, version 5.5.1. Use the attached exception screenshots as reference; done means the calls can be tested without the "properties" or "$ref" JavaScript errors and the page remains responsive.
