Describe the bug

When the generator creates a new Python type to represent a schema property's enum type it can sometimes get unlucky by generating the name of a user-defined type that already exists in the schema.

When this happens, the generator gives up and issues a warning. The Python type for the enum property and the generated API client are only partially generated as a result. This warning manifests as a runtime error in the Python client when affected endpoints are accessed by the generated Python code. I have so far been unable to figure out any configuration-based way of working around the issue.

OpenAPI Spec File

This issue can be reproduced deterministically by running:

openapi-python-client generate --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvanBacon/App-Store-Connect-OpenAPI-Spec/refs/heads/main/specs/3.6.0.json --overwrite

Relevant warning output is in the "Additional context" section below.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS 15.1.1
  • Python Version: 3.12.1
  • openapi-python-client version 0.21.6

Additional context

We discovered this "in the wild" while attempting to generate a Python client for the Apple App Store Connect API.

When we ran the generator on version 3.6.0 of the App Store Connect OpenAPI schema, we saw this (among other) warnings:

Unable to process schema /components/schemas/Certificate:

Found conflicting enums named CertificateType with incompatible values.

Failure to process schema has resulted in the removal of:
/components/schemas/Certificate
/components/schemas/CertificatesWithoutIncludesResponse
/components/schemas/CertificatesResponse
/components/schemas/CertificateResponse

Schema(title=None, multipleOf=None, maximum=None, exclusiveMaximum=None, minimum=None, exclusiveMinimum=None, maxLength=None, minLength=None, pattern=None, maxItems=None, minItems=None, uniqueItems=None, maxProperties=None, minProperties=None, required=None, enum=['certificates'], const=None, type=<DataType.STRING: 'string'>, allOf=[], oneOf=[], anyOf=[], schema_not=None, items=None, prefixItems=[], properties=None, additionalProperties=None, description=None, schema_format=None, default=None, nullable=False, discriminator=None, readOnly=None, writeOnly=None, xml=None, externalDocs=None, example=None, deprecated=None)

This was happening because the generator was attempting to create a type called "CertificateType" when it was traversing the properties of the "Certificate" object, who had a child enum property called "type", excerpt below:

      "Certificate": {
        "type": "object",
        "title": "Certificate",
        "properties": {
          "type": {
            "type": "string",
            "enum": [
              "certificates"
            ]

The generator took the name of the parent, and concatenated it with the name of the property to create the name "CertificateType".

Sadly, as noted above, that type name was already taken in the API by a separate user-defined "CertificateType", excerpted below:

"CertificateType": {
        "type": "string",
        "enum": [
          "IOS_DEVELOPMENT",
          "IOS_DISTRIBUTION",
