Description
When using a regular expression with a lookahead (?=...) in an OpenAPI specification, the generated code returns an incorrect encoding of the lookahead, where ?= becomes ?=.
openapi-generator version
v7.9.0
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
Here is an example of the OpenAPI declaration file content:
https://gist.github.com/reyescabello/6cd965708fd0b03e8eadb9f3c0c0a899
Generation Details
Generated with jar:
java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i openapi.yml -g python-fastapi -o openapi_server
Steps to reproduce
When generating the specified content in the OpenAPI file, the endpoint that includes the pattern looks like this:
async def find_product_by_code(
code: str = Path(
description="Product code to search",
regex=r"/^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)[A-Z\d]{8,12}$/"),
) -> Product:
"""The user must have any permission in the application."""
return await BaseProductApi.subclasses[0]().find_product_by_code(code)

Research direction
Start with the OpenAPI declaration linked in the issue and reproduce generation using the shown openapi-generator CLI command with the python-fastapi generator. Compare the generated endpoint's regex in the output with the source pattern; done means the lookahead remains encoded as (?=...) rather than ?=.
