Description

See https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/data-types.

RESTler should generate the minimum number of required elements to successfully execute the payload. (Then, the payload body checker will fuzz element lengths outside this range). The values generated should be unique.

type: array items: type: integer minItems: 1 maxItems: 10

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how RESTler currently generates array payloads, then modify the grammar generation code to respect 'minItems' and 'maxItems' constraints. Ensure generated arrays have the minimum required length and that values are unique. The payload body checker can later fuzz length beyond maxItems.
