Unreferenced schema types are not generated [c#]

[MihaMarkic]

A provider I wish to communicate with has a callback feature where it POSTs some data to my server. The data type is defined in schema as an object but, I guess, because this particular type is not directly referenced in schema paths (methods), the model is not generated.
When I alter the schema to reference said type, model is generated.

I think all schema types should be generated regardless whether they are referenced, or at least, provide a CLI switch to generate them all.

Hi @MihaMarkic
Thanks for using kiota and for reaching out.
I'd rule that a feature more than an issue. What do you need the orphan types for?
The only valid scenario which is not covered today we're aware off is the webhooks scenario: i.e. the API describes types it will send out as a result of an event on a subscription. This is something that can now be described with OAS 3.1, which kiota doesn't support yet but plans to support as soon as our parsing library does.

@baywet Yes, that's exactly what I'm facing. Getting events. But still, can't kiota just generate all schema types regardless since this are real world scenarios and schemas written with OAS3.0?

[baywet]

no, and that's by design. We're unlikely to change that at this point, we'd rather invest in 3.1 and webhooks support to properly support this scenario.
This is tracked by #3914
Let us know if you have any other question/concern.

[MihaMarkic]

I'm out of concerns. In meantime I'll be tweaking OAS3.0 with fake methods that reference these event schemas - to force generation of said types.

Thanks for confirming! closing
