Introduction

Kiota is a powerful tool for generating API clients and plugins. However, with the release of version 1.24.0, users have reported issues with generating warning-free clients for Microsoft Graph APIs. In this article, we will delve into the problem, explore the expected behavior, and provide a step-by-step guide on how to reproduce the issue.

Problem Description

When using Kiota version 1.24.0 to generate a client for Microsoft Graph APIs, users encounter a large list of warnings. These warnings are related to the format of certain parameters, such as date-time, int32, and double. The warnings indicate that Kiota does not support these formats for the specified types.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is to generate a warning-free client for Microsoft Graph APIs. This means that Kiota should be able to correctly handle the formats of the parameters without generating any warnings.

How to Reproduce

To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

Create a kiota-lock.json file with the following content:
