[CppRest] file properties of models not generated as shared_ptr<> #7052
Description
Description
After a long time using my original version of the cpprest generator, I decided to migrate finally to the official swagger-codegen version. We are using a somehow non-open-api-standard compliant feature: having files as model properties. This used to work in my original codebase but seemed to be broken since issue #3773 was fixed. Instead of generating:
std::shared_ptr<HttpContent> getFile();
void setFile(std::shared_ptr<HttpContent> value);
...the following source is generated:
HttpContent getFile();
void setFile(HttpContent value);
This in advance leads to errors when serializing/deserializing as the ModelBase only provides overloads for the shared_ptr.
Swagger-codegen version
2.2.3
Swagger declaration file content or url

Command line used for generation
java -cp "swagger-codegen-cli.jar" io.swagger.codegen.SwaggerCodegen generate^
-l cpprest^
-i "SwaggerSpec.json"^
-o "Generated"^
-c "config.json"
Steps to reproduce
- Take given swagger specification and generate a cpprest client
- Inspect the MyFileViewModel.cpp and notice the non-shared_ptr file property.
- Compile the sources and there will be compilation errors for
MyFileViewModel::fromJson
as it cannot callsetFile(HttpContent)
with ashared_ptr<HttpContent>
parameter. - Also a compile error on
MyFileViewModel::toMultipart
is shown as there is noModelBase::toHttpContent(utility::string_t, HttpContent)
overload. It needs ashared_ptr<HttpContent>
as second parameter.

Suggest a fix/enhancement
I expect that removing p instanceof FileProperty
from the code follow source line will fix the issue by bringing back the shared_ptr<HttpContent>
. Maybe @sdrichter can point out why it was added in a first place. His issue mentions something that there were issues on APIs which return a file object.
