OpenApi generator generates client APIs with placeholder in the path get URISyntaxException

Question

I am working on a Java Project with Maven, SpringBoot and OpenAPI. In the pom.xml, we added plugin of openapi-generator-maven-plugin version 5.2.1

In the openapi yaml file we have path like below as an example: "api/v1/companies/{companyId}/employees"

The plugin works and we have the client api (EmployeeApi.java) generated. But when I use this generated api to call, I got an URISyntaxException. With debug I localed the issue happens on the line of UriBuilder uriBuilder = UriBuiler.fromUri(this.apiClient.getBasePath() + "/api/v1/companies/{companyId}/employees");

And it complains the error is the incorrect character of "{"

I noticed the call of UriBuilder.fromUri() will eventually create the URI object by new URI(str) so it cannot take "{" as a valid path. My question is I have no control of the generated codes, how could we ask the generator to use UriBuilder.fromResource or something else which could make this working?

Thanks

We decided to use one of "resttemplate", "rest-assure" or "apache-httpclient" instead of google-api
