Using SwaggerToCSharpWebApiControllerGenerator with $ref pointing to external files

I’ve been battling with this for a while but I can’t make it work. I have the following definitions in my JsonSchema:

...
  "definitions": {
    "cat": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": { "name": { "type": "string" } }
    },
    "animals": {
      "$ref": "./animals.json"
    }
  }

animals.json looks like this:

{
  "dog": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": { "name": { "type": "string" } }
  }
}

Referencing “cat” works perfectly with: “$ref”: “#/definitions/cat” But if I want to have an external file, in the same folder, with all animals definitions, the file reference doesn’t work.

Searching around I found a lot of URL supported features but nothing related to relative paths on disk.

The C# code is the following:

var doc = SwaggerDocument.FromFileAsync(@"Contracts\pet-service.json").Result;
                
var settings = new SwaggerToCSharpWebApiControllerGeneratorSettings();
settings.CSharpGeneratorSettings.Namespace = "MyPetsApplication";

var generator = new SwaggerToCSharpWebApiControllerGenerator(doc, settings);
var code = generator.GenerateFile();

Is this really not supported or am I missing something?

Thanks

Awesome! I’ve updated NSwagStudio from the link you provided, Works! I’ve updated my project NSwag & NJsonSchema dependencies and now everything woks perfectly.

Thanks a lot mate. I’ll be using this for a while now so probably I’ll bother you again 😃

Let me know if I can help you in any way.
