Description

I bumped into an issue when using the php-nextgen generator where an operation has multiple response schemas and at least one of the response code doesn't have a schema defined.

openapi-generator version

7.19.0

Generation Details

docker run --rm \
    --volume "$scriptPath:/local" \
    --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    openapitools/openapi-generator-cli:v7.19.0 generate \
    --config /local/openApiConfig.json \
    --output /local

The openApiConfig.json is the following:

{
  "invokerPackage": "Api\\Client",
  "artifactVersion": "1.0.0",
  "composerPackageName": "api/client",
  "packageName": "api/client",

}

Always use the full union type syntax, rather than the ? shorthand.
