Description

The project using openapi is used to automatically generate the client REST API code as an inner gradle project. the generated build.gradle generates the sourcesets as:

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs = ['src/main\java']
}

When building from Windows, this causing the build to fail with

startup failed:
build file 'C:\dev\cloudmanagement-currency\currency-api-spec\generated\client\build.gradle': 23: unexpected char: '' @ line 23, column 35.
main.java.srcDirs = ['src/main\java']

The only way to fix would be to manually modify this file and build again, or to go back a version.

Expected output:

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
}

openapi-generator version

"org.openapi.generator" version "4.3.1" workaround to use "org.openapi.generator" version "4.3.0"

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

Content of yaml is irrelevant to the issue

Generation Details

Java based Gradle project run with openapi-generator to create REST service

build.gradle:

task generateJavaClientProject (type: org.openapitools.generator.gradle.plugin.tasks.GenerateTask) {
	inputs.file("src/main/yaml/example-service.yaml")
	outputs.dir(file("generated/client"))
	
    generatorName = "java"
    inputSpec = file("src/main/yaml/example-service.yaml").toString()
    outputDir = file("generated/client").toString()
    apiPackage = "com.example.rest.client"
    invokerPackage = "com.example.rest.invoker"
    modelPackage = "com.example.rest.model"
    configOptions = [
        dateLibrary: "java8"
    ]
}

/**
 * Invoke a "gradlew build" on the generated client project
 */
task buildJavaClientProject(type: GradleBuild) {
	inputs.dir 'generated/client/src'
	outputs.dir 'generated/client/build'
	
	dependsOn 'generateJavaClientProject'
	buildFile = 'generated/client/build.gradle'
	tasks = ['build']	
}

Steps to reproduce

run gradlew build from command line on a windows machine with the above in the configuration files

This is an issue in Java generator which should be fixed as of a few weeks ago. Can you try 5.0.0-beta2?

[simplyaduck]

I have tried 5.0.0-beta2 and the issue still exists

[black-snow]

5.0.0-beta2 issue remains

I'll try and look tonight. I thought I'd changed everything in those generators, but maybe I missed some.

The issue is that we're using file separator in path constructs, when that's not a safe assumption in all cases. In some locations, we're doing things like "src/main" +File.separator. which causes the above behavior.
