Description

Here's a repo for the issue: https://github.com/0xNF/openapi_gen_dart_json_shadow

The Dart SDK generator will incorrectly shadow field variables named json in the generated toJson() method, resulting in a cyclic pointer loop when running the toJson() method.

Generation Details

See: https://github.com/0xNF/openapi_gen_dart_json_shadow/blob/master/shadowed/lib/model/item_with_field_named_json.dart

class ItemWithFieldNamedJson {
  ItemWithFieldNamedJson({
    this.json = const {},
  });

  Map<String, Object> json;

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
    final json = <String, dynamic>{};
      json[r'json'] = json;
    return json;
  }

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the generator command

• java -jar openapi-generator-cli-6.0.0-20220412.074015-127.jar generate -i .\shadowspec.yaml -g dart -o shadowed

2. Examine the shadowed/lib/model/item_with_field_named_json.dart
3. See the shadowed variable on line 34, and the infinite reference on line 35

Suggest a fix

The hard fix:

• For any variables that are generated by the Generator, use static analysis to determine if there are any conflicting variable names in the namespace in the generated functions, and then modify the desired generated variable name appropriately, repeating as many times as necessary to ensure truly unique variable names within the functions scope.

The easier fix:

• The Dart generator already knows about reserved keywords. For fields that are named int, generated fields are named int_ with an underscore. Extend this idea to json. This is a half measure though, as if I name my field variable json_, then we're back to being shadowed.
