Unknown type for the following structure (type: string, class: io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.PasswordSchema)

Update This issue is tracking errors generated by following schemas:

swagger: "2.0"
info:
  title: Whatever
  version: 1.0.0
host: localhost:1234
schemes:
  - http
definitions:
  Foo:
    type: object
    properties:
      somePassword:
        type: string
        format: password
      someFile:
        type: file
      someBinary:
        type: string
        format: binary

They all generate errors similar to this one:

Error: Unknown type for the following structure (type: string, class: io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.PasswordSchema):
  class PasswordSchema {
      class Schema {
      }
      type: string
      format: password
  }

Original issue:

Hi,

when using follwing definition:

{"password":{"format":"password","type":"string"}}

I get the following error:

Error: Unknown type for the following structure (type: string, class: io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.PasswordSchema):
  class PasswordSchema {
      class Schema {
      }
      type: string
      format: password
  }

Any idea what to do about it? I suspect it’s a format that has been removed in swagger v3 or something like that

@Gipetto i believe i patched this issue with #283 but i think further improvements on how binary properties should be handled are in order

[blast-hardcheese]

#1407 improves the situation referred to by @nick-bauer – I unified the different type transformation logic, which was causing issues with $refs inside of array.

Closing this, thank you 🙂
