Hi Alex,
the generated code internally uses `QObject *context` as a hardcoded parameter
name
of one of the helper functions. That means that at this point it cannot be used
as a
variable name.
The most straightforward fix for you is to rename the parameter in
the OpenAPI schema, e.g.:
"parameters": [
{
"name": "encodingContext", // <--- here
"in": "query",
"description": "Optional. The MediaBrowser.Model.Dlna.EncodingContext.",
"schema": {
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/EncodingContext"
}
}
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Ivan

Subject: [Interest] [QtOpenAPI] Unable to compile Jellyfin OpenAPI schema
I'm not sure if this is a bug (or if it is, which software it's a bug in), but
I've reached the end of my rope trying to fix this, and it's a hard blocker for
me.
I'm attempting to use the new Qt OpenAPI module to generate the HTTP client
code for Jellyfin using the official OpenAPI schema available here:
https://api.jellyfin.org/openapi/jellyfin-openapi-stable.json<https://api.jellyfin.org/openapi/jellyfin-openapi-stable.json>
Although qt_add_openapi_client works correctly, the code generated results in
multiple compile-time C++ errors. I narrowed down the problem to being an issue
with circular "allOf" references (for example, the "AlbumArtist" property of
the "RemoteSearchResult" component is an allOf ref to RemoteSearchResult). I
was able to solve those problems with a script that removes any problematic
members in the schema. The remaining errors have proven much more difficult to
patch.
Here's a portion of the Jellyfin OpenAPI schema:
{
"paths": {
"/Audio/{itemId}": {
"get": {
"parameters": [
{
"name": "context",
"in": "query",
"description": "Optional. The
MediaBrowser.Model.Dlna.EncodingContext.",
"schema": {
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/EncodingContext"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
Here's the resulting error:
build/QtOpenAPIClient_autogen/VU62IVP4U3/../../client/audioapi.h:46:5: error:
conflicting declaration ‘const QObject* context’
build/QtOpenAPIClient_autogen/VU62IVP4U3/../../client/audioapi.h:46:5189: note:
previous declaration as ‘const
QtOpenApiCommon::OptionalParameter<QtOpenAPI::EncodingContext>& context’
There are about 10 more errors in the audio and video APIs. They all involve
the same compiler error: a constructor parameter named "context"
I'm not sure if this is a bug with Qt, OpenAPI Generator, the Jellyfin schema,
or something else, but I won't be able to just fix this with a preprocessor
script since I need the audio and video endpoints.
For what it's worth, I tried running openapi-generator-cli directly, but that
just resulted in even more errors.
Any suggestions?
