Hi,  
I am facing an issue while generating autotest for custom modules. When I generated autorest it generates extra random classes.

Platform version - 3.253.3

autorest command -  
autorest VirtoCommerce.Storefront\AutoRestClients\array-in-query-fix.yml --version=3.0.6274 --v3 --debug --input-file=path to file/swagger.json --output-folder=.\VirtoCommerce.Storefront\AutoRestClients --output-file=ModuleApi.cs --namespace=VirtoCommerce.Storefront.AutoRestClients.

ModuleApi --override-client-name=ModuleClient --add-credentials --csharp --generate-empty-classes=true

In this search method parameter .it should have proper classes but its generating some random classes.

JSON file for auto rest-

I think you need to find Why some attributes from json file were added to class name.

Thanks for the reply.  
I did try to find it but was not able to find it. I even tried with different autorest versions and with existing virto modules. its happening in existing virto modules and custom modules btoh.

```auto
autorest VirtoCommerce.Storefront\AutoRestClients\array-in-query-fix.yml --version=3.0.6274 --v3 --debug --input-file=http://localhost:10645/docs/Dh.Mcr/swagger.json --output-folder=.\VirtoCommerce.Storefront\AutoRestClients --output-file=McrModuleApi.cs --namespace=VirtoCommerce.Storefront.AutoRestClients.McrModuleApi --override-client-name=McrModuleClient --add-credentials --csharp

```

When i use this command it gives this error. So to solve this I have added at last  
“–generate-empty-classes=true”.  
After adding this in autorest command generate code but also these classes and mess up some functions

Hi

You should not change the version of Autorest because they change output format.

Could you share the original file and original error message as text?
