EnumMember attribute ignored by StringEnumConvertor if CamelCaseText = true

[wizofaus]

Using

new JsonSerializerSettings
        {
            ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver(), Converters = new[] { new StringEnumConverter { CamelCaseText = true } }
        }

I get enum values converted to "camelCase" strings as expected, even though the actual enum fields in the C# definition are PascalCase.

But in some cases I need to override the default name, and normally [EnumMember(Value="UPPER_CASE_NAME")] does the trick - but not when CamelCaseText is true.
As such I wrote my own resolver that overrides WriteJson and checks for the attribute itself, but is this really the expected behaviour, and if so, is there a case for having a way of overriding it?

BTW I've confirmed this problem is still in the latest version of Json.NET - even though CamelCaseNamingStrategy has a property "OverrideSpecifiedNames" which can be set via the constructor (and defaults to false), it completely ignores this property when resolving, so my field value with [EnumMember(Value="UPPER_CASE_NAME")] gets written as uPPER_CASE_NAME.

The bug appears to be in EnumUtils.InitializeValuesAndNames - it always passes false to NamingStrategy.GetPropertyName( ), regardless of the EnumMember annotation.

See https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/blob/cdf10151d507d497a3f9a71d36d544b199f73435/Src/Newtonsoft.Json/Utilities/EnumUtils.cs/#LC51

Thanks for the investigation. Fixed.

Gotta love github :-)

Though...I do wonder if there's any chance the functionality in EnumUtils.TryToString( ) could be made public? Need to use it for customizing swagger output (e.g. list of possible enum values)

You could just clone it? what happens if you change to a different serializer?
