Bug Report: Incorrect Model Reference in Generated Paginated Envelope #1390

Description

Bug Report: Incorrect Model Reference in Generated Paginated Envelope

Summary

openapi-python-client incorrectly generates PaginatedTransactionEnvelope with CustomerEntity instead of TransactionEntity, despite the OpenAPI schema correctly specifying TransactionEntity.

Environment

  • openapi-python-client version: 0.28.1
  • Python version: 3.13
  • Generation command:
    openapi-python-client generate \
     --path schema.yaml \
     --output-path ./generated \
     --meta none

Expected Behavior

The generated PaginatedTransactionEnvelope should use TransactionEntity based on this schema definition:

PaginatedTransactionEnvelope:
 allOf:
 - $ref: '#/components/schemas/PaginatedSuccessEnvelope'
 - type: object
 properties:
 data:
 type: array
 items:
 $ref: '#/components/schemas/TransactionEntity'

Expected generated code:

if TYPE_CHECKING:
 from ..models.transaction_entity import TransactionEntity
 from ..models.links import Links
@_attrs_define
class PaginatedTransactionEnvelope:
 timestamp: datetime.datetime
 path: str
 data: list[TransactionEntity] # ✓ Correct
 links: Links

Actual Behavior

The generator produces code using CustomerEntity instead:

if TYPE_CHECKING:
 from ..models.customer_entity import CustomerEntity # ✗ Wrong!
 from ..models.links import Links
@_attrs_define
class PaginatedTransactionEnvelope:
 timestamp: datetime.datetime
 path: str
 data: list[CustomerEntity] # ✗ Wrong!
 links: Links
 
@classmethod
def from_dict(cls: type[T], src_dict: Mapping[str, Any]) -> T:
 from ..models.customer_entity import CustomerEntity # ✗ Wrong!
 from ..models.links import Links
 
 # ...
 for data_item_data in _data:
 data_item = CustomerEntity.from_dict(data_item_data) # ✗ Wrong!
 data.append(data_item)

Impact

This causes runtime errors when parsing API responses:

ValueError: 'failed' is not a valid CustomerEntityStatus

The parser attempts to deserialize transaction data as customer data, failing when transaction-specific status values don't exist in the CustomerEntityStatus enum.

Additional Context

The schema also defines PaginatedCustomerEnvelope (which correctly uses CustomerEntity). The generator may be incorrectly reusing or caching the entity type across similar paginated envelope structures.

Related schema definitions:

PaginatedCustomerEnvelope:
 allOf:
 - $ref: '#/components/schemas/PaginatedSuccessEnvelope'
 - type: object
 properties:
 data:
 type: array
 items:
 $ref: '#/components/schemas/CustomerEntity'
PaginatedTransactionEnvelope:
 allOf:
 - $ref: '#/components/schemas/PaginatedSuccessEnvelope'
 - type: object
 properties:
 data:
 type: array
 items:
 $ref: '#/components/schemas/TransactionEntity'

Workaround

We've added a post-generation fix script:

sed -i '' 's/from ..models.customer_entity import CustomerEntity/from ..models.transaction_entity import TransactionEntity/g' "$FILE"
sed -i '' 's/list\[CustomerEntity\]/list[TransactionEntity]/g' "$FILE"
sed -i '' 's/CustomerEntity\.from_dict/TransactionEntity.from_dict/g' "$FILE"

Reproduction

The issue appears when:

  1. Multiple paginated envelopes are defined using allOf with shared base schemas
  2. Each envelope should use different entity types in the data array
  3. The generator confuses the entity types between envelopes
