This PR fixes an issue where @name annotations are ignored for recursive types (types that reference themselves). Previously, recursive types would always use their full package path in the generated Swagger definitions, even when a @name annotation was present.

Problem

When defining a recursive type with a @name annotation:

type EntityHierarchyNode struct {
    Entity   EntityModel           `json:"entity"`
    Children []*EntityHierarchyNode `json:"children"`
} // @name EntityHierarchyNode

The generated Swagger definition would incorrectly use the full package path:

definitions:
  github_com_example_project_internal_model.EntityHierarchyNode:
    type: object
    properties:
      entity:
        $ref: '#/definitions/github_com_example_project_internal_model.EntityModel'
      children:
        type: array
        items:
          $ref: '#/definitions/github_com_example_project_internal_model.EntityHierarchyNode'

Solution

The fix ensures that SetSchemaName() is called for recursive types before using the schema name. This allows the @name annotation to be properly processed and applied.

With this fix, the generated definition correctly uses the simple name:

definitions:
  EntityHierarchyNode:
    type: object
    properties:
      entity:
        $ref: '#/definitions/EntityModel'
      children:
        type: array
        items:
          $ref: '#/definitions/EntityHierarchyNode'

Changes

  • Modified parser.go to call SetSchemaName() for recursive types before using the schema name
  • Added comprehensive test case TestParser_ParseDefinitionWithRecursiveTypeAndNameAnnotation to verify the fix

Testing

  • Added new test case that specifically tests recursive types with @name annotations
  • All existing tests pass
  • Manually tested with real-world recursive type definitions

Impact

This change only affects recursive types that have @name annotations. It does not change the behavior for:

  • Non-recursive types
  • Recursive types without @name annotations
  • Any other Swagger generation functionality

Fixes #[issue number if applicable]

When a recursive type is detected during parsing, the code now ensures
that SetSchemaName() is called to properly set the schema name from
the @name annotation before using it. This prevents recursive types
from being generated with full package paths in the swagger definitions
when they have @name annotations.

Fixes the issue where types like EntityHierarchyNode with @name annotations
were being generated as github_com_org_project_package.EntityHierarchyNode
instead of just EntityHierarchyNode.
- Added TestParser_ParseDefinitionWithRecursiveTypeAndNameAnnotation to verify
  that @name annotations are respected for recursive types
- Test covers both self-referential types (TreeNode) and types with custom
  @name annotations (LinkedNode -> CustomLinkedNode)
- Added test data file demonstrating the use case with EntityHierarchyNode
- All existing tests continue to pass
This change updates the module declaration and all internal imports
from github.com/swaggo/swag to github.com/pborgen/swag to allow
other developers to install the fork directly using:

go install github.com/pborgen/swag/cmd/swag@latest
