Navigation properties from Abstract base types #371
Description
PrinterBase is an abstract type with the nav property jobs
<EntityType Name="printerBase" BaseType="graph.entity" Abstract="true">
<Property Name="capabilities" Type="graph.printerCapabilities" />
<Property Name="defaults" Type="graph.printerDefaults" />
<Property Name="displayName" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="isAcceptingJobs" Type="Edm.Boolean" />
<Property Name="location" Type="graph.printerLocation" />
<Property Name="manufacturer" Type="Edm.String" />
<Property Name="model" Type="Edm.String" />
<Property Name="status" Type="graph.printerStatus" Nullable="false" />
<NavigationProperty Name="jobs" Type="Collection(graph.printJob)" ContainsTarget="true" />
</EntityType>This nav property is not in the derived types e.g. printer below.
<EntityType Name="printer" BaseType="graph.printerBase">
<Property Name="hasPhysicalDevice" Type="Edm.Boolean" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="isShared" Type="Edm.Boolean" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="lastSeenDateTime" Type="Edm.DateTimeOffset" />
<Property Name="registeredDateTime" Type="Edm.DateTimeOffset" Nullable="false" />
<NavigationProperty Name="connectors" Type="Collection(graph.printConnector)" />
<NavigationProperty Name="shares" Type="Collection(graph.printerShare)" />
<NavigationProperty Name="taskTriggers" Type="Collection(graph.printTaskTrigger)" ContainsTarget="true" />
</EntityType>In this situation, the conversion library does not propagate the nav property to the derived type and thus paths such as
/print/printers/{printer-id}/jobs and /print/shares/{printerShareId}/jobs will end up missing in the converted document.
