Input:

  myenum:
    type: string
    enum:

    myenum:
      enum:

Suggest a fix

In ExampleGenerator.resolveModelToExample, the schema should be processed if it is a valid enum (i.e. it has an enum field and that field is a non-empty sequence). This check should be placed here:

openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/examples/ExampleGenerator.java

	return resolvePropertyToExample(schema.getName(), mediaType, schema, processedModels);
	} else {
	// TODO log an error message as the model does not have any properties
	return null;
