Upgrade swagger-parser to 2.1.48 and fix OpenAPI to Ballerina generation bugs - #1904
Bumping swaggerParserVersion alone has no effect at runtime. The tool jars only shaded the OpenAPIParser facade, so OpenAPIV3Parser and the swagger models were loaded from the 2.1.22 copy embedded in the distribution's lib/tools/lang-server/lib/json-to-record-converter-*.jar. I verified this with -verbose:class.
The openapi-bal-task-plugin shadow jar now bundles the full swagger parser and swagger-core stack. The tool class loader prefers classes the tool ships, so this copy is used. I verified that the parser, model and converter classes all load from the tool jar. No ballerina-lang change is needed.
From swagger-parser 2.1.23, referenced responses are resolved only when resolveResponses is enabled. Without it, an operation whose only response is a $ref lost its return type. It's now enabled where the tool parses with resolve=true (GeneratorUtils, CmdUtils).
ballerina-to-openapi is intentionally left unchanged. It's also bundled in the http, mcp and ai compiler plugins, which run on the distribution's swagger-parser 2.1.22, where setResolveResponses doesn't exist. Inside the tool, resolveFully still inlines responses, and service contract specs keep $ref responses together with their components, so the generated spec is still valid.
#9490: media types with parameters
MimeFactory and RequestBodyGenerator now strip media type parameters (; charset=utf-8) before choosing the request mime type and payload type. The full media type is still sent as the content type.
When an operation's function body can't be generated, the tool now reports warning OAS_CLIENT_118 instead of dropping the operation silently.
#7508: Windows paths in bal openapi add
The --input and --license paths are written with forward slashes, so they're valid TOML and the file stays portable across operating systems.
The default client ID derivation now handles backslash paths.
#6335: service return documentation
The return type generator records the type it generates for each response in OASServiceMetadata, and the doc generator uses it. For example, # PersonAccepted (Accepted) replaces # http:Accepted (Accepted).
Responses without a body keep http:<StatusCode>, which is their type.
#7314: unresolvable references
References that don't resolve to a schema under #/components/schemas now raise an invalid-reference error instead of an NPE. Generation falls back to json and reports Invalid reference found <ref> in the schema.
Behaviour changes from the parser upgrade
bal openapi align/flatten and Ballerina-to-OpenAPI output can emit enum and default in a different order. The order depends on the Jackson version on the classpath.
References to component names containing dots, and some refs that previously failed, now resolve to generated records instead of falling back to json. Example: the reference_example.bal mock client fixture.
Release note
The OpenAPI tool now uses swagger-parser 2.1.48.
Fixed: nullable schemas with a null default are now accepted.
Fixed: client operations with media type parameters are no longer dropped.
Fixed: bal openapi add now writes a valid Ballerina.toml on Windows.
Fixed: service return docs now list the generated return types.
Fixed: unresolvable references are reported instead of crashing.
Automation tests
Unit tests: 35 new test cases across SwaggerParserTests, RequestBodyTests, MediaTypeParameterTests, UnresolvableReferenceTests, ReturnTypeTests and OpenAPICmdTest, plus updated fixtures listed above.
openapi-cli suite: 931 tests run locally. The 7 failures were fixture updates for the changes above; after updating the fixtures, the affected classes pass (153/153). The full suite has not been re-run since.
Ballerina-to-OpenAPI tests (generators.openapi.*, BallerinaToOASTests): 243/243 pass after the ballerina-to-openapi change was removed.
Integration tests and the module-ballerina-openapi validator tests were not run locally.
Manual check with the locally published tool on Ballerina 2201.14.0:
The #9491 and #9490 reproductions generate correctly.
The generated clients compile.
26 of 27 sampled client test specs produce identical output to tool 2.4.2. The one difference is sendgrid, where a reference that previously fell back to json now resolves to a typed record.
Security checks
Followed secure coding standards: yes
Ran FindSecurityBugs plugin and verified report: yes (spotbugs passes on changed modules)
No keys, passwords, tokens, usernames, or other secrets committed: yes
Test environment
macOS, JDK 25 (Gradle build), Ballerina 2201.14.0 and 2201.14.1. Not tested on Windows; #7508 is covered by a unit test that uses Windows-style paths.
Upgraded Swagger Parser to 2.1.48 and Swagger Core to 2.2.53. Updated parser packaging and parse options to support reference resolution.
Fixed client generation for nullable schemas with default: null, parameterized request media types, and nested schema references. Generated requests preserve the full content type. The generator now reports a diagnostic when it cannot generate an operation body.
Improved bal openapi add path handling and TOML string escaping for Windows-style paths.
Updated service return documentation to show generated response types when available, and HTTP status types when a response has no body.
Added tests and fixtures for the changes, and updated expected generated output.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
This change updates Swagger dependencies and parser options, changes client generation for parameterized media types and schema references, and records response types in service documentation. It also validates and normalizes paths and escapes TOML strings in the openapi add command.
Swagger Core and Parser versions and shaded dependencies are updated. Shared parser options enable response resolution when supported. Tests cover nullable schemas with null defaults and compare generated YAML as parsed documents.
Parameterized client request media types openapi-core/.../generators/client/*, openapi-cli/src/test/java/io/ballerina/openapi/generators/client/RequestBodyTests.java, openapi-cli/src/test/java/io/ballerina/openapi/generators/client/MediaTypeParameterTests.java, openapi-cli/src/test/resources/generators/client/*
Client generation strips media-type parameters for matching and retains escaped media-type values in generated payloads. Failed function-body generation records a diagnostic. Tests and fixtures cover parameterized request types and generated client methods.
Type generation uses a shared lookup for component-schema references. Tests cover direct and invalid JSON Pointer references, missing schemas, external references, and a component-name collision.
Service response return documentation openapi-core/.../generators/document/ServiceDocCommentGenerator.java, openapi-core/.../generators/service/*, openapi-cli/src/test/java/io/ballerina/openapi/generators/service/ReturnTypeTests.java, openapi-cli/src/test/resources/generators/service/*, openapi-cli/src/test/resources/expected_gen/licenses/*, openapi-integration-tests/src/test/resources/client/project-expected/*
Service metadata stores generated response types by operation and status code. Service documentation uses mapped types when present and falls back to status-code types otherwise. Tests and expected output cover multiple and referenced responses.
CLI Add path and TOML handling

Summary
Validate paths and generate TOML openapi-cli/src/main/java/io/ballerina/openapi/cmd/Add.java, openapi-cli/src/test/java/io/ballerina/openapi/cmd/OpenAPICmdTest.java, openapi-cli/src/test/resources/cmd/bal-task-client-windows-path/Ballerina.toml
The Add command validates supported input extensions, normalizes Windows path separators, derives the default ID from the filename, and escapes TOML strings. Tests parse the generated configuration and check its values.
Multipart parameters can be lost, and unusual filenames can produce invalid configuration. Single-response documentation also omits return types. Address these bounded issues or accept them as follow-up work.

Explanation
The title names the two main parts of the changeset: the swagger-parser upgrade to 2.1.48 (gradle.properties and the shadow jar in openapi-bal-task-plugin/build.gradle) and the OpenAPI-to-Ballerina generation fixes. It is somewhat broad, since the five fixes cover client media types, Windows TOML paths, service return docs, and unresolvable references, but it still refers to real parts of the change and does not mislead.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template's main structure. It covers Purpose with issue links, Approach with a per-issue breakdown, Release note, Automation tests with counts and environment details, and Security checks. Sections such as Goals, User stories, Documentation, Training, Certification, Marketing, Samples, Related PRs, and Migrations are missing. The Test environment section is present. The Security checks section also deviates from the template by omitting the questions. The description is largely complete for a fix PR, and the missing items are non-critical for this change, so the check passes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
All five linked issues are open and directly linked. Each has coding requirements. No non-coding requirement applies.
[#9491] Requirement: accept nullable: true schemas with default: null, including unused schemas. Keep nullable: false with default: null rejected. Evidence: gradle.properties raises swaggerParserVersion to 2.1.48. openapi-bal-task-plugin/build.gradle bundles the swagger parser and swagger-core stack into the tool shadow jar. The author reports, with -verbose:class, that the parser classes load from the tool jar at runtime. SwaggerParserTests and the nullable_default_null, nullable_default_null_v3_0_3, nullable_default_null_unused and non_nullable_default_null fixtures cover the accepted and rejected cases.
[#9490] Requirement: generate operations whose JSON request media type has parameters. Keep the full media type for the request. Warn instead of dropping silently. Evidence: GeneratorUtils.getMediaTypeWithoutParameters is used for support checks and mapping. MimeFactory.getMimeType and RequestBodyGenerator strip parameters before type selection. The original key is still sent in setPayload through MimeType escaping and OctetStreamType changes. FunctionBodyGeneratorImp records OAS_CLIENT_118 when body generation fails. MediaTypeParameterTests and RequestBodyTests cover Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0, remote and resource modes.
[#7508] Requirement: bal openapi add writes a valid Ballerina.toml on Windows. Evidence: Add.java converts Windows separators to / for input and license paths, and escapes TOML string values. It writes options.license, which matches the license property in openapi-bal-task-plugin/src/main/resources/openapi-options-schema.json. The previous options.licensePath key was not defined in that schema. OpenAPICmdTest covers Windows-style paths and TOML parsing. Windows was not run on a real host. The unit test supplies the Windows separator behavior directly.
[#6335] Requirement: service return docs list generated return types for responses with bodies. Bodyless responses keep http:<StatusCode>. Evidence: DefaultReturnTypeGenerator and ServiceDocCommentGenerator use the types recorded in OASServiceMetadata.getResponseTypes(). ReturnTypeTests and the updated service expected fixtures cover body, bodyless and default responses.
[#7314] Requirement: avoid the NPE for an unresolvable JSON pointer reference. Evidence: TypeGeneratorUtils.getReferencedComponentSchema throws OASTypeGenException with the invalid reference. BallerinaTypesGenerator, ReferencedTypeGenerator and AllOfRecordTypeGenerator now use it. Generation falls back to json and reports the invalid reference. UnresolvableReferenceTests cover the reported pointer, a name-collision pointer, and client and service generation.
Unresolved uncertainty: The author reports that the full openapi-cli suite was not rerun after fixture updates, and integration tests and module-ballerina-openapi validator tests were not run. These gaps do not remove a coding requirement. The implementation and targeted tests for each objective are present in the reviewed changes. The runtime class-loading result for #9491 depends on the author's reported -verbose:class check, which this review did not rerun.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed files map to the five linked issues or to the parser upgrade they require.
gradle.properties, openapi-bal-task-plugin/build.gradle, CmdUtils.java, GeneratorUtils.java: parser and swagger-core upgrade and response-resolution setting. Supports #9491 and the parser-upgrade behavior.
Add.java and OpenAPICmdTest.java: #7508. The input-file-type check (.yaml, .yml, .json) is not named in #7508. It is in the same bal openapi add path-validation step that writes Ballerina.toml. It is a related guard, not an unrelated change.
Add.java options.licensePath to options.license rename: corrects a key that openapi-options-schema.json does not define. This is part of the valid Ballerina.toml requirement in #7508.
ServiceDocCommentGenerator.java, ServiceDeclarationGenerator.java, OASServiceMetadata.java, DefaultReturnTypeGenerator.java, service expected fixtures: #6335.
TypeGeneratorUtils.java, ReferencedTypeGenerator.java, BallerinaTypesGenerator.java, AllOfRecordTypeGenerator.java, BallerinaClientGeneratorWithStatusCodeBinding.java: #7314 reference handling.
Test fixtures and expected outputs: support the new tests.
reference_example.bal return-type change, enum/default ordering changes, and EnumTypeTests YAML-tree comparison: disclosed effects of the parser upgrade. They are not unrelated.
No changed file shows a concrete lack of connection to the linked issue objectives.

A rabbit checks the paths at night Then trims the media tags just right Schema pointers find their home Response docs name types they own TOML strings escape the thicket Swagger versions hop in their pocket The tests keep watch on every change
Swagger Parser 2.1.22 rejects valid OpenAPI 3.0 schemas that combine
`nullable: true` with `default: null` (swagger-parser#2125, fixed in 2.1.27),
and the tool treats every parser message as fatal.
Bumping swaggerParserVersion alone has no effect at runtime: the tool jars
only shaded the `OpenAPIParser` facade, so `OpenAPIV3Parser` and the models
were loaded from the 2.1.22 copy embedded in the distribution's lang-server
jars. The bal-task-plugin shadow jar now bundles the full swagger parser and
swagger-core stack, which the tool class loader picks before the
distribution's copy.
From swagger-parser 2.1.23, referenced responses are only resolved when
`resolveResponses` is enabled. Enable it wherever the tool parses with
`resolve=true` so `$ref` responses keep generating return types.
Test fixture updates caused by the upgrade:
- align and Ballerina-to-OpenAPI YAML now emit `enum` before `default`
- references to component names containing dots are resolved to records
instead of falling back to `json`
Resolvesballerina-platform/ballerina-library#9491
A request body declared with a media type parameter, such as
`application/json; charset=utf-8` (including Swagger 2.0 `consumes`),
passed the supported media type check, which ignores parameters, but
`MimeFactory` matched the full key and threw. The exception was swallowed
in `FunctionBodyGeneratorImp`, so the operation was dropped from the client
while the CLI still reported success.
- Strip media type parameters before selecting the request mime type and
the request body parameter type, so `application/octet-stream; qs=0.9`
is also generated as `byte[]`. The full media type is still sent as the
content type.
- Report OAS_CLIENT_118 when an operation's function body cannot be
generated instead of skipping it silently.
Resolvesballerina-platform/ballerina-library#9490
The `--input` and `--license` paths were written as-is into TOML basic
strings. On Windows, backslashes in these paths are treated as escape
sequences, so the generated Ballerina.toml was invalid. The default client
ID was also derived by splitting on `/` only.
Convert the paths to use forward slashes, which Java accepts on all
platforms and which keeps the committed Ballerina.toml portable.
Resolvesballerina-platform/ballerina-library#7508
When a resource had multiple responses, the return documentation listed the
status code (e.g. `http:Accepted`) instead of the type the resource actually
returns (e.g. `PersonAccepted`).
The return type generator now records the type generated for each response
in `OASServiceMetadata`, and the service doc comment generator uses it.
Generated names cannot be recomputed in the doc pass because status code
record names are prefixed with the HTTP method on name collisions. Responses
without a body keep the `http:<StatusCode>` form, which is their type.
Resolvesballerina-platform/ballerina-library#6335
A reference that does not point to a schema under `#/components/schemas`,
such as the JSON pointer `#/components/schemas/AlbumArray/items`, resolved
to a null schema and crashed client and service generation with a
NullPointerException.
Raise an invalid reference error for these references so generation falls
back to `json` and reports `Invalid reference found <ref> in the schema.`
Resolvesballerina-platform/ballerina-library#7314
Isolate the generated package from the test resource.
The normal Gradle workflow restores the fixture, so this is not an established failure of the supported workflow. However, targeted reruns can reuse build/resources/test; Add.execute() preserves existing tool blocks, and contains(generatedTool) can then match stale output. Copy the fixture to a temporary package directory, or reset it before invoking Add, so the assertion checks the current output.

Update the test setup around packagePath so Add.execute() operates on an
isolated temporary copy of the fixture, or reset the fixture before invoking it.
Keep the assertion tied to output generated by the current test run rather than
stale tool blocks in build/resources/test.
Add a fixture case for an unused nullable schema with a null default.
The new parser tests cover only schemas that the /holders operation reaches. The issue requires acceptance of nullable schemas with default: null that the selected operation does not use. Add a fixture with an unreferenced schema and assert that it parses.
Suggested fix
Add a fixture at openapi-cli/src/test/resources/generators/schema/swagger/nullable_default_null_unused.yaml:
@Test(description = "Types are generated for nullable schemas with a null default value")
+ public void testUnusedNullableSchemaWithNullDefault() throws IOException, BallerinaOpenApiException {+ OpenAPI openAPI = GeneratorUtils.getOpenAPIFromOpenAPIV3Parser(+ RES_DIR.resolve("swagger/nullable_default_null_unused.yaml"));+ Assert.assertNotNull(openAPI.getComponents().getSchemas().get("UnusedTags"));+ }++ @Test(description = "Types are generated for nullable schemas with a null default value")

ballerina-to-openapi is also bundled in the http, mcp and ai compiler
plugins, where the swagger parser classes come from the distribution
(2.1.22). `ParseOptions.setResolveResponses` does not exist in that
version, so calling it would fail with NoSuchMethodError once
ballerina-to-openapi is released and picked up by those plugins.
The flag is not needed there: with `resolveFully` the bundled 2.1.48 still
inlines responses, and for service contract types the referenced responses
are kept as `$ref` with their components, which is a valid specification.
Review comments:
- `bal openapi add`: convert backslashes to `/` only on Windows, since a
backslash is a valid file name character elsewhere, and escape every
string written to Ballerina.toml (id, paths, module, client methods, tags,
operations). Derive the default client id without failing on inputs
without an extension.
- Keep media type parameters in the generated content type for
`application/octet-stream` and escape the media type when writing it as a
Ballerina string literal, so quoted parameters generate valid code.
- Strip media type parameters (and surrounding whitespace) consistently in
the request support check and in response type selection, so
`application/json ; charset=utf-8` is handled like `application/json`.
- Drop the unused `isProxyService` parameter from the new
ServiceDocCommentGenerator constructor.
Code review findings:
- Bundle the Jackson and SnakeYAML versions that swagger-core 2.2.53 and
swagger-parser 2.1.48 are built against, instead of linking against the
distribution's older copies.
- Share the code generation parser options between openapi-core and
openapi-cli, and tolerate swagger-parser versions without
`setResolveResponses`.
- Resolve schema references through one helper that rejects JSON pointers
into a component schema (which could resolve to an unrelated component
with the same name), handles missing components, and also covers allOf.
- Document per-response return types only when the signature is the union
of those types, and keep each type on a single doc line.
- Report OAS_CLIENT_112 only when the cause has not been reported already.
CI:
- Compare the align and Ballerina-to-OpenAPI enum YAML outputs as YAML
documents; the order of keys within an object differs between
environments, so the original fixtures are restored.
- Update the integration test service fixtures for the return docs change.

Document the generated type for single-response bodies.
GET /users generates ErrorUnauthorized, but its single-response documentation omits that type. The mapping is applied only in the multiple-response branch, so the generated documentation does not identify the actual body return type. Apply the generated-type mapping to the single-response branch and add a documentation assertion for this fixture.

Escape every TOML-forbidden control character.
A POSIX input or license filename can contain newline, carriage return, and other forbidden control characters. escapeTomlString writes them literally, so the generated Ballerina.toml can fail TOML parsing. Raw tabs are valid in TOML basic strings and do not require escaping.
Suggested fix
static String escapeTomlString(String value) {
- return value.replace("\\", "\\\\").replace("\"", "\\\"");+ StringBuilder escaped = new StringBuilder(value.length());+ for (char character : value.toCharArray()) {+ if (character == '\\') {+ escaped.append("\\\\");+ } else if (character == '"') {+ escaped.append("\\\"");+ } else if (character <= 0x08+ || character >= 0x0A && character <= 0x1F+ || character == 0x7F) {+ escaped.append(String.format("\\u%04X", (int) character));+ } else {+ escaped.append(character);+ }+ }+ return escaped.toString();

media type from mediaTypeEntry.getKey() to request.setBodyParts, rather than the
parameter-stripped mediaType, so the declared multipart boundary is preserved.

Purpose
Fixes five OpenAPI-to-Ballerina bugs:
bal openapirejects validnullable: trueschemas withdefault: nullballerina-library#9491:bal openapirejects validnullable: trueschemas withdefault: nullbal openapidrops operations whose JSON request media type has a parameter ballerina-library#9490:bal openapidrops operations whose JSON request media type has a parameteropenapi addin Windows ballerina-library#7508:bal openapi addwrites an invalidBallerina.tomlon WindowsEach issue is fixed in its own commit.
Approach
#9491: swagger-parser upgrade (2.1.22 → 2.1.48)
swaggerParserVersionalone has no effect at runtime. The tool jars only shaded theOpenAPIParserfacade, soOpenAPIV3Parserand the swagger models were loaded from the 2.1.22 copy embedded in the distribution'slib/tools/lang-server/lib/json-to-record-converter-*.jar. I verified this with-verbose:class.openapi-bal-task-pluginshadow jar now bundles the full swagger parser and swagger-core stack. The tool class loader prefers classes the tool ships, so this copy is used. I verified that the parser, model and converter classes all load from the tool jar. No ballerina-lang change is needed.resolveResponsesis enabled. Without it, an operation whose only response is a$reflost its return type. It's now enabled where the tool parses withresolve=true(GeneratorUtils,CmdUtils).ballerina-to-openapiis intentionally left unchanged. It's also bundled in thehttp,mcpandaicompiler plugins, which run on the distribution's swagger-parser 2.1.22, wheresetResolveResponsesdoesn't exist. Inside the tool,resolveFullystill inlines responses, and service contract specs keep$refresponses together with their components, so the generated spec is still valid.#9490: media types with parameters
MimeFactoryandRequestBodyGeneratornow strip media type parameters (; charset=utf-8) before choosing the request mime type and payload type. The full media type is still sent as the content type.OAS_CLIENT_118instead of dropping the operation silently.#7508: Windows paths in
bal openapi add--inputand--licensepaths are written with forward slashes, so they're valid TOML and the file stays portable across operating systems.#6335: service return documentation
OASServiceMetadata, and the doc generator uses it. For example,# PersonAccepted (Accepted)replaces# http:Accepted (Accepted).http:<StatusCode>, which is their type.#7314: unresolvable references
#/components/schemasnow raise an invalid-reference error instead of an NPE. Generation falls back tojsonand reportsInvalid reference found <ref> in the schema.Behaviour changes from the parser upgrade
bal openapi align/flattenand Ballerina-to-OpenAPI output can emitenumanddefaultin a different order. The order depends on the Jackson version on the classpath.json. Example: thereference_example.balmock client fixture.Release note
nullableschemas with anulldefault are now accepted.bal openapi addnow writes a validBallerina.tomlon Windows.Automation tests

The 7 failures were fixture updates for the changes above; after updating the fixtures, the affected classes pass (153/153).

Test environment
macOS, JDK 25 (Gradle build), Ballerina 2201.14.0 and 2201.14.1. Not tested on Windows; #7508 is covered by a unit test that uses Windows-style paths.
default: null, parameterized request media types, and nested schema references. Generated requests preserve the full content type. The generator now reports a diagnostic when it cannot generate an operation body.bal openapi addpath handling and TOML string escaping for Windows-style paths.
