Generated Apis dont use the Refit Generator

[Codelisk]

Hello,

when I generate my Own Apis, the Refit Code Generator is not triggered. Is there a way to workaround that?

If you want to elaborate I could also try to create a sample for it.

Thank you very much in advance.

The Refit source generator only runs against interfaces that:

• live in a project that references the Refit package (so the generator is loaded), and
• have at least one method decorated with a Refit HTTP method attribute ([Get], [Post], etc.).

Common reasons "my own APIs don't trigger the generator":

• The interface is defined in a different assembly/project that does not reference Refit, so the generator never sees it. The generator runs per-compilation; it does not cross into projects that lack the Refit reference.
• The package reference is a plain <PackageReference> with PrivateAssets/IncludeAssets set so analyzers are excluded. Make sure the analyzer asset is included (the default Refit package reference includes it).
• The type is not an interface, or the methods have no Refit verb attribute.
• <EnableDefaultCompileItems>false</EnableDefaultCompileItems> or the file not being compiled in that project.

To use Refit interfaces in a separate project, add the Refit package reference to that project too so the generator runs there.

If you can share a minimal repro (csproj + interface) we can confirm which of these it is. Otherwise the fix is almost always "add the Refit package reference to the project that contains the interface".
