Description

When using the csharp-netcore generator, OpenAPI Generator will generate code that uses null as the default value for enum parameters. null is not a valid value for enums in C#.

It should instead generate default operator applied to the enum type, e.g., default(MyEnum). This is the behavior when using the csharp generator. (The default literal could be used, but is only available from C# 7.1.)

openapi-generator version

Version 4.2.0. (Also recreated in 4.1.3, 4.1.0, 4.0.3, and 4.0.0.)

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

Command line used for generation

npx -p @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli@cli-4.2.0 openapi-generator generate -i ./nullenumbug.json -g csharp-netcore -o ./nullenumbug

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a OpenAPI declaration file containing an endpoint with a parameter of type string with enum values.
2. Run OpenAPI Generator with this file as input and using the csharp-netcore generator.
3. Try to compile the output.
4. Observe the compile errors of the type:

Error CS1750: A value of type '<null>' cannot be used as a default parameter because there are no standard conversions to type 'MyEnum' (39, 31)
