Description

When generating a Go client that has a multipart/form-data requestBody state under components/requestBodies the generator puts the object described in the schema as postBody in the request, fails to parse it and returns the following error while trying to call the generated function:

Invalid body type multipart/form-data

This happens both if the parameters of the form-data requestBody are required or not. This does not happen when the multipart/form-data requestBody is stated under the paths: property.

Actual Output

func (a *UserApiService) CreateUsersWithArrayInput(ctx context.Context, userPayload UserPayload) (*http.Response, error) {
    [...]
    // body params
    localVarPostBody = &userPayload
    r, err := a.client.prepareRequest(ctx, localVarPath, localVarHttpMethod, localVarPostBody, localVarHeaderParams, localVarQueryParams, localVarFormParams, localVarFormFileName, localVarFileName, localVarFileBytes)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
        [...]
}

Expected Output (optional parameters example)

type CreateUsersWithArrayInputOpts struct {
    Foo optional.String
    Bar optional.Interface
}

func (a *UerApiService) CreateUsersWithArrayInput(ctx context.Context, localVarOptionals *CreateUsersWithArrayInputOpts) (*http.Response, error) {
    [...]
    if localVarOptionals != nil && localVarOptionals.Foo.IsSet() {
        localVarFormParams.Add("foo", parameterToString(localVarOptionals.Foo.Value(), ""))
    }
    if localVarOptionals != nil && localVarOptionals.Bar.IsSet() {
        localVarFormParams.Add("bar", parameterToString(localVarOptionals.Bar.Value(), "csv"))
    }
    r, err := a.client.prepareRequest(ctx, localVarPath, localVarHttpMethod, localVarPostBody, localVarHeaderParams, localVarQueryParams, localVarFormParams, localVarFormFileName, localVarFileName, localVarFileBytes)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
        [...]
}

Command line used for generation

I'm using the docker generator:

sudo docker run --rm -v \
    ${PWD}:/local \
    openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
    --package-name foo \
    -i /local/openapi.yaml \
    -g go \
    -o /local

Steps to reproduce

Use the above command to generate a client passing the above YAML as input.

Suggest a fix

This case should be treated exactly as if the multipart/form-data requestBody was stated under the paths: property. So the data should be inserted in the localVarFormParams variable and not in postBody.
