github oapi-codegen runtime types.File source Bytes multipart.FileHeader
💡 Result:
In the context of oapi-codegen, types.File (found in github.com/oapi-codegen/runtime/types) is a specialized type designed to handle file uploads, particularly when working with multipart/form-data [1][2][3]. Key interactions between types.File and file data include: Initialization You can populate a types.File struct from existing multipart data or raw bytes: - InitFromMultipart(header *multipart.FileHeader): This method allows you to initialize a types.File instance directly from a multipart.FileHeader, which is the standard Go type for files received in a multipart request [1]. - InitFromBytes(data []byte, filename string): This method allows you to manually create a types.File by providing the file content as a byte slice along with a filename [1]. Accessing Data - Bytes: This method returns the underlying file content as a []byte [1][2][3]. - Reader: This method returns an io.ReadCloser to stream the file content [1]. - Filename: Returns the associated filename [1][2]. - FileSize: Returns the size of the file in bytes [1]. Important Considerations - Binding: While oapi-codegen generates structs using types.File for multipart fields, automatic binding (e.g., using standard framework binders like Echo's) often faces challenges because framework binders typically do not recognize types.File as a standard multipart type and may require custom handling or strict server implementations to function correctly [4][5]. - Deprecation: Older versions of oapi-codegen used github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/pkg/types. Newer versions use github.com/oapi-codegen/runtime/types, and you should ensure you are referencing the modern package to avoid deprecated code [3]. - Binary Format: When using JSON, note that the binary format does not natively support raw binary data in JSON; it is intended for use with multipart or specific binary-capable content types [6]. If you encounter issues with JSON-encoded binary data, it is often because Go's JSON marshaling expects base64 encoding [6].

Do not classify openapi_types.File as a scalar.
classifyElem sends every openapi_types selector to the scalar-copy path. That path copies File by value. File exposes its underlying byte slice and retains multipart file state, so a deep copy can share mutable state with the original. This affects direct File fields and []File fields.
Could we add a dedicated File copy path and regression coverage for both cases?

This looks like a legitimate issue. Not sure what the right solution is, given that File's fields are unexported. I think it's unlikely that anyone uses format: binary in an XRD, but we should probably still handle it in some way. Maybe it makes sense to handle it specially in the go generator, e.g. by setting x-go-type to []byte, which I believe would match how the k8s apiserver handles these fields.

@adamwg, I agree that mapping type: string, format: binary to []byte in the Go generator is the safer direction.
This avoids openapi_types.File and its inaccessible internal state. It also better matches Kubernetes API conventions for binary data.
There is one additional case to handle. A direct binary field will generate as *[]byte, and the current deepcopy generator can copy its bytes. An array of binary fields will generate as *[][]byte. The current slice-copy path copies only the outer slice, so the copied model would still share the inner byte slices.
I recommend that the change:
- Recursively add
x-go-type: []byteto everystringschema withformat: binary. - Keep
Email,Date, andUUIDin the scalar-copy path. - Remove
Filefrom that scalar-copy path. - Extend deepcopy generation to recursively copy nested slices.
- Add regression coverage for both
format: binaryand an array whose items useformat: binary.
This keeps the generated models independent after DeepCopy, including the array case.
Would you prefer to include this broader binary-format support in this PR, or track it as a follow-up to the email-format fix?

This change looks correct to me. I think I'd be fine with merging it and handling the File concern raised by coderabbit separately, given that this fixes a bug and the file use-case seems unlikely in real life.
Would be great if @erikmiller-gusto has time to take a look as well, since he wrote this code originally!

Description of your changes
An XRD field with a string format oapi-codegen maps to its own type,
format: emailbeing the case in #312, produces models that do not compile. Two separate reasons:goImportsTemplatetrims the default oapi-codegen imports down to the ones we use, andopenapi_types "github.com/oapi-codegen/runtime/types"is not among them, soopenapi_types.Emailis undefined.classifyElemtreats anypkg.Typeselector that is nottime.*or one of the known k8s aliases as a struct with aDeepCopyIntomethod, so the DeepCopy generator emits(*in)[i].DeepCopyInto(&(*out)[i])for it. None of the four types in that package has such a method:Emailis a string,UUIDis an array alias,Datewraps atime.Time, andFileholds unexported fields. They all copy by value.The import is added to the template with a matching entry in the unused-import guard block, and the whole
openapi_typespackage joinstimein the scalar branch ofclassifyElem. No change to the generated module'sgo.mod, sincegithub.com/oapi-codegen/runtimeis already required andruntime/typesis part of it.Fixes #312
I have:
earthly +reviewableto ensure this PR is ready for review.How has this code been tested?
account_scaffold_definition.yamlgains amembersarray offormat: email, which is the shape from the issue, so the generated package now exercises the path.I dumped the generated models both ways to see the two defects rather than infer them. Before the change,
xaccountscaffold.goimports noopenapi_typesat all and its DeepCopy readsAfter it, the import is present and the same block is
copy(*out, *in).go test ./internal/schemas/...passes, and so does the real gate,go test -tags compilegate -run TestGeneratedRuntimeObjectsCompile ./internal/schemas/generator/, which materializes the module and builds it with the toolchain. That one fails on the current code with the new testdata field, which is the point of it.
