OData Connected Service to the project failed: Cannot write to a closed TextWriter

[softshipper]

Hi all,

I am trying to use https://github.com/unchase/Unchase.OData.Connectedservice/ to generate OData client C# code based on a metadata file.
The service is hosted on SAP S/4HANA and the metadata is in version 2.0.
Here is the content of the metadata:

The following steps show how I imported the metadata file:

As you can see on the last step I have received an error.

I also tried to import https://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/$metadata file and it generated OData client without any error.

I also have the same error

[austalakov]

Same error on a different SAP S/4HANA service. I hoped running through the odata-cli instead of the Visual Studio extension would give some more details but it fails silently.

[henrikcrepido]

Had the same issue but was resolved by downloading the schema and removing:
<Annotation Term="Core.SchemaVersion" String="1.0.0" xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edm"/>

Wow. same here and no answer yet from Microsoft

@henrikcrepido And it didn't help to remove this line

[EricSch]

I advise not use this tool, even not anything different from Microsoft.
I opened an official support request at Microsoft.
They didn't provide any help with this issue.

My conclusion:

1. Don't use the OData Connector
2. Don't use anything from Microsoft
