[BUG][Spring] generator not escaping backslashes

Created by: hebra

Description

Trying to generate Java code from the Vimeo OpenAPI spec. That spec (api.yaml) uses backslashes in some of the strings (e.g. tag definitions). Using the openapi gradle plugin 3.3.4 the generator 'spring' with any of it libraries (spring-boot, spring-mvc, spring-cloud) generates code which does not escape backslashes properly.

openapi-generator version

3.3.4

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

{
	"generatorName": "spring",
	"library": "spring-boot",
	"groupId": "com.vimeo",
	"modelPackage": "com.vimeo.model",
	"apiPackage": "com.vimeo.api",
	"invokerPackage": "com.vimeo",
	"basePackage": "com.vimeo",
	"dateLibrary": "java8",
	"java8": true,
	"async": true,
	"responseWrapper": "ListenableFuture",
	"useBeanValidation": true
}

Command line used for generation

As this is a gradle project the command line is just

./gradlew clean openApiGenerate

but I'd assume the same code is generated when using the generator lib directly.

• Language: Java 11
• Gradle: 4.9
• Libraries: Spring Boot 2.1 family

Steps to reproduce

• create a new Spring Boot basic project (e.g. via http://start.spring.io/ in Java and Gradle flavour
• add the Gradle OpenAPI plugin to build.gradle like this

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.openapitools:openapi-generator-gradle-plugin:3.3.4"
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.openapi.generator'

• add a new openapi configuration file config.json
• download the api.yaml from above Vimeo GitHub repo
• add a openapi statement to the build.gradle like this (the folders might differ)

openApiGenerate {
	validateSpec = true
    configFile = "$rootDir/vimeo/config.json".toString()
    inputSpec = "$rootDir/vimeo/openapi/api.yaml".toString()
    outputDir = "$buildDir/generated".toString()
}

• run ./gradlew clean openApiGenerate
• open one of the generated java files, e.g. LanguagesAPI
• check the tags annotation

tags={ "Videos\Languages", })

---> the backslash is not escaoped, leading to compile errors

Suggest a fix

• it looks like a bug with the generator templates, as it works proper for other generators (like feign for Java). Fixing the template should fix the issue.
