Description
Hello!
I'm trying to generate code via OpenAPI Generator Gradle Plugin version 5.1.1
I can't understand behavior of this plugin, it generates new gradle project, but not only kotlin classes
my task configuration is
openApiGenerate {
//verbose.set(true)
generatorName.set("kotlin")
outputDir.set(project.file("${buildDir.name}/generated").absolutePath)
inputSpec.set(project.file("schema/openapi.json").absolutePath)
packageName.set("org.camunda.bpm.engine.rest")
apiPackage.set("org.camunda.bpm.engine.rest.api")
modelPackage.set("org.camunda.bpm.engine.rest.model")
}
As far as i know, maven plugin generates just classes, not new project
Looks like gradle plugins works as generator cli
Why openapi generator gradle plugin generates new project?

openapi-generator version
5.1.1
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
Command line used for generation

Research direction
The report names the Gradle plugin's openApiGenerate configuration, generatorName, outputDir, and inputSpec, but no source files, test, or reproducible specification. Start by reproducing the shown configuration with version 5.1.1 and inspect the plugin's handling of outputDir and project files. Done means determining whether the generated Gradle project is expected, then documenting or correcting that behavior.
