Description

If an endpoint uses an enum as the path parameter, and the enum is defined in components rather than inline, then the generated default_api.rs uses the generated Rust enum without importing it first, resulting in a compilation error.

error[E0412]: cannot find type `Color` in this scope

help: consider importing this enum through its public re-export

I've found that using the enum in the schema like this:

schema:
  allOf:
    - $ref: "#/components/schemas/Color"

instead of

schema:
  $ref: "#/components/schemas/Color"

fixes the issue. But still, it should work in both cases.

openapi-generator version

I'm using the Docker openapitools/openapi-generator-cli:latest image. openapi-generator-cli version prints 7.1.0-SNAPSHOT.

Generation Details

$ openapi-generator generate -i openapi.yaml -g rust -o demo

[j-szulc]

I have started the work on #17503 . Together with #17504 (fixing linked issue #16975 ) it makes the provided openapi.yml generate a buildable Rust client.
