Spring Boot: OpenApi Generator Plugin creates unwanted test file

Question

I use OpenApi 3.0 and the maven plugin openapi-generator-maven-plugin to generate my api + objects.

This is my maven config:

                    <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>generate</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <inputSpec>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/BookingService.yaml</inputSpec>
                        <generatorName>spring</generatorName>
                        <modelPackage>${clientPackage}.model</modelPackage>
                        <invokerPackage>${clientPackage}.invoker</invokerPackage>
                        <apiPackage>${clientPackage}.api</apiPackage>
                        <generateApis>true</generateApis>
                        <generateApiTests>false</generateApiTests>
                        <generateModelTests>false</generateModelTests>
                        <configOptions>
                            <delegatePattern>true</delegatePattern>
                        </configOptions>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>

It works as expected, however its also generating tests that I do not want. As you can see in my config i disabled the tests for Api tests + Model tests..

The compilation of these tests fail bc it "Cannot resolve symbol 'SpringBootTest'" in the build target folder...

These tests do not have any sense, how can I disable them?

Note this is a workaround. It would be better to get a property to not generate this testcase, but for now this seems to work...

Add this maven plugin to your pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>process-sources</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <target>
                    <!-- remove the unwanted generated testcases by the spring generator of openapi -->
                    <delete dir="${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/openapi/src/test" />
                </target>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

It will delete that entire test package after the sources have been generated in the process-sources phase
