Description

Description

When data structure defines array of object, deserializing doesn't work as the nested data may be an array instead of stdclass.

Swagger-codegen version

2.3

Swagger declaration file content or url
  /path:
    post:
      parameters:
        - in: body
          required: true
          name: objectName
          schema:
            type: object
            properties:
              arrayInObject:
                type: array
                minItems: 1
                items:
                  $ref: '#/definitions/SomeObject'
Suggest a fix/enhancement

Cast data to stdclass, if data is array, when deserializing data

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the provided Swagger declaration, focusing on PHP deserialization of the arrayInObject property and its SomeObject items. Trace the generated deserialization entry point to see where nested arrays are handled; done means arrays of objects deserialize correctly as the expected object instances.
