Research direction

Start with the openapi-python-client generate --path openapi/spec.json and .yaml commands and review the warnings for request-body references, path parameters, and getAccessGraphDot. The vendor schema is not included, so reproduce once it is available; done means the full Python client generates without warnings or dropped endpoints.

Description

🐞bug

Describe the bug
I'm attempting to convert a rather large open api schema to Pyhton bindings and am running across warnings that are dropping endpoints on the floor. I believe there is a couple of issues.

  1. Refs not supported: Do you know if there are plans to add support for references in request body? I'll look at ways to flatten this schema out without references and try this again
"requestBody": {
                    "content": {
                        "application/json": {
                            "schema": {
                                "$ref": "#/components/schemas/MetadataFieldGroupType"
                            }
                        },
                        "application/xml": {
                            "schema": {
                                "$ref": "#/components/schemas/MetadataFieldGroupType"
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    "required": true,
                    "description": ""
                }

  1. Parth parameters not match with path. I believe this may be due to the open "in path" vs "in query" issue.

                        "description": "The collection id."
                    }

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run openapi-python-client generate --path openapi/spec.json
  2. Run openapi-python-client generate --path openapi/spec.yaml

Expected behavior
A full python client should be generated without warnings.

OpenAPI Spec File
Standby. Making sure I have approval to share this schema since its coming from a 3rd party vendor.
