AvroGen bug: Uncompilable code for records having a field with the same name as the record

[Bernhard G Häussermann <be...@icloud.com.INVALID>]

Good day,


I came across the following issue when generating C# classes from an Avro schema using the CodeGen class.
When generating code for a record having a field with the same name as the record, AvroGen produces a class containing a property having the same name as the class, which C# does not allow.

The Confluent.Apache.Avro package version used is 1.9.0.0

This is problematic when using the Avro.CodeGen class to generate Avro types at run-time.

How to reproduce

Invoke AvroGen on the schema below. It generates a class named "cars" containing a property named "cars".

{
	"type": "record",
	"name": "person",
	"namespace": "Kafka.Tests.AvroTypes",
	"fields": [
		{
			"name": "garage",
			"type": 
			{
				"type": "record",
				"name": "cars",
				"fields": [
					{
						"name": "cars",
						"type": {
							"type": "array",
							"items": {
								"type": "record",
								"name": "car",
								"fields": [
									{
										"name": "model",
										"type": "string"
									},
									{
										"name": "make",
										"type": "string"
									}
								]
							}
						}
					}
				]
			}
		}
	]
}
