Description

OpenAPI generator fails to generate array models. It complains with:

[main] INFO  o.o.codegen.DefaultGenerator - Model {} not generated since it's an alias to array (without property) and `generateAliasAsModel` is set to false (default)

openapi-generator version

v4.3.1

And also tried latest master using Docker 07c23f4d1ad184554968b1bbe858b4ad987dd698.

Suggest a fix

The following code is erroneous. An array has items not properties (Even required by the OpenAPI spec). You might need to cast Schema to ArraySchema to get access to items or something like that. https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/41851b45e1f1ffa7f0df36270a6b3c0cee6425bb/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/DefaultGenerator.java#L485-L488

Another dirty hack to get the generator to behave, at least on Node, is just to add Array’s built-in length attribute as a property. Like this:

Something:
  type: array
  properties:
    length:
      type: integer
  items:
    $ref: '#/components/schemas/SomethingElse'

Did you try setting the generateAliasAsModel option to true?
