writeStructAccessors only checked generated GetX/SetX names against
methods oapi-codegen had already emitted, not against other field
names on the same struct. Terraform schemas can legitimately have two
unrelated fields where one field's name is the accessor name the other
would generate, e.g. aws_instance's get_password_data (bool) and
password_data (string) become sibling fields GetPasswordData and
PasswordData. Generating GetPasswordData() for the PasswordData field
then collides with the GetPasswordData field itself, which Go rejects
outright ("field and method with the same name"), breaking the build
for provider-aws-ec2's InstanceStatusAtProvider and
SpotInstanceRequestStatusAtProvider.
Skip emitting an accessor whenever its name matches any field name on
the struct, the same way we already skip when it matches an existing
method.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe accessor generator now includes promoted embedded field names in collision checks. Getter and setter emission uses extracted helper functions. Table-driven tests cover named and embedded field collisions. ChangesAccessor collision handling
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The generator can still produce uncompilable Go for schemas using generic embedded fields, but the affected input shape is narrow and the correction is localized. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6✅ Passed checks (6 passed)

accessor generation skips methods that would conflict with embedded field names.

…rive the collision test Addresses CodeRabbit review on crossplane#366: - addAccessors skipped anonymous/embedded fields entirely when collecting fieldNames, but Go promotes an embedded type's own name into the struct's namespace, so an embedded field can still collide with a generated accessor even though go/ast reports it with an empty field.Names. Add embeddedFieldName to derive the promoted name (stripping pointer indirection and package qualification) and record it alongside named fields. - Rewrite TestAddAccessorsSkipsFieldNameCollisions as table-driven cases with args/want/reason, matching this repo's test conventions, and add coverage for the setter collision path and the embedded-field case alongside the original getter collision, diffing the full generated method set with cmp.Diff rather than spot-checking individual methods.

LGTM. It's too bad to lose the accessor, but I don't have any better ideas than skipping it if it conflicts with a field. Any potential renaming we could do would also be a collision risk.
Extract collectFieldNames, writeGetter, and writeSetter helpers so writeStructAccessors clears the gocognit threshold (31 -> 18) that the collision-detection changes in d5b6e82 pushed it past. No behavior change.

Handle instantiated embedded types.
collectFieldNames omits GetPasswordData[string] because embeddedFieldName does not handle *ast.IndexExpr. The pointer form is a *ast.StarExpr wrapping that node, and multi-argument forms use *ast.IndexListExpr. writeStructAccessors can then emit GetPasswordData for PasswordData, which conflicts with the embedded field and prevents the generated package from compiling.
Could you add these recursive cases and test direct, pointer, and multi-argument generic embeddings?
Proposed fix
switch t := e.(type) {
case *ast.Ident:
return t.Name
case *ast.SelectorExpr:
return t.Sel.Name
+ case *ast.IndexExpr:
+ return embeddedFieldName(t.X)
+ case *ast.IndexListExpr:
+ return embeddedFieldName(t.X)
default:
return ""

Summary
writeStructAccessors(ininternal/schemas/generator/accessors.go) generatesGetX/SetXaccessor methods for every struct field, but only checked the generated name against methods already emitted by oapi-codegen — not against other field names on the same struct.aws_instance'sget_password_data(bool) andpassword_data(string) become sibling Go fieldsGetPasswordDataandPasswordData. GeneratingGetPasswordData()for thePasswordDatafield then collides with theGetPasswordDatafield itself — Go rejects this outright ("field and method with the same name"), which broke compilation of provider-aws-ec2's generatedInstanceStatusAtProviderandSpotInstanceRequestStatusAtProvider.Verified the underlying Go rule isn't just a style nit — a minimal repro with a field and method sharing a name fails to compile with
field and method with the same name.Test plan
