path flag of generator not working

[simon-winter]

Describe the bug
whatever i write into the path flag for the jet generator has no influence on the destination path. When using the example path ./gen, the resulting files still just get generated into my workspace root with this structure: "DBName/schemaName/..."
there is no .gen folder created. When i create that first or try a different naming, still it is not copyied inside there nor a folder is created. it just cares about the database name and schema name for the path of generation.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Database: postgres

What's the full command you ran?

[simon-winter]

Correction: it seems on windows/vscode terminal the "./" infront of the .gen folder is the problem. when using . path the entire path is not used.

jet -dsn=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/webDev?sslmode=disable -schema=public -path=./test //broken
jet -dsn=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/webDev?sslmode=disable -schema=public -path=test //working

That's interesting, the relative path with ./ should work. I'll check on a windows machine.
Is the behavior same when using cmd or powershell?

[simon-winter]

Yes, tested with powershell, also omited relative path. The debug output of the generator also completly omits the relative path:
'Destination directory: webDev/public' -> missing the "test" folder when provided as relative path.
having non relative path is interpreted as relative path though, meaning the ./ is unnecessary

That's when the path is ./test right?

I agree, but then again path handling in Windows is a bit different.

Can you please try with this command and let me know?
jet -dsn=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/webDev?sslmode=disable -schema=public -path=.\test

yes, if the path is relative it seems to get completly ignored and omited.

Can you please try with this command and let me know?
jet -dsn=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/webDev?sslmode=disable -schema=public -path=.\test

same behavior, path omited

[jamius19]

Interesting, .\test on Windows should have worked per my understanding.
I'll look into it.

[jamius19]

Confirmed relative names starting with ./ and .\ don't work on Windows.
I'll investigate it.

Also affects Issue #413 and PR #424
