Description

Description

Specifying templateDirectory in swagger-codegen-maven-plugin in Windows causes a regex issue within DefaultGenerator L:1014. The resulting template path might result in an incorrect regular expression, because of window path-separator "". Hence each following character is treated as a regular-expression escaped character implicitly.
For example a template-Directory "src/main/resources/spec" will be resolved to "C:[project-basedir]\src\main\resource\spec". Now templateFile.replaceFirst is taken a regular expression and "\s" means a whitespace in this context.

Swagger-codegen version

3.0.0-rc1

Suggest a fix/enhancement

Do not use String.replaceFirst, because this uses a regular expression, instead of the real given path. Apache commons-lang StringUtils provides useful ways to strip the first matching path.

Research direction

Inspect DefaultGenerator around line 1014 and the templateFile.replaceFirst call; start by tracing how the Windows templateDirectory path is constructed. Reproduce the issue with a Windows-style path, then verify that the resulting template path is handled literally rather than as a regular expression.
