Folder Template does not work properly on Windows

[sebastianh001]

steps

I setup my template as follows to support both java and scala templates. This can be decided by using the scala respectively java parameter (true/false)

src/main/$if(java.truthy)$java$endif$/$package$/Class.scala
src/main/$if(scala.truthy)$scala$endif$/$package$/Class.java

problem

If i run this template on Windows using sbt new file://{templatepath} (SBT 1.5.5)

if java = true and scala = false it will produce the following dirs:
src/main/java/{package}/Class.java
src/main/{package}/Class.scala
and if scala = true and java = false to:
src/main/scala/{package}/Class.scala
src/main/{package}/Class.java

Which is not as expected

expectation

this should be evaluated if java = true and scala = false to:
src/main/java/{package}/Class.java
and if scala = true and java = false to:
src/main/scala/{package}/Class.scala

This works properly on an Unix System (SBT 1.5.5) but does not work correctly on an Windows machine (SBT 1.5.5) (using the same template)

notes

[TonioGela]

The template is indeed working as expected, since you are placing in the if just the java or scala token.
To get the behaviour you described you should place the whole remaining part of the path in the if condition like

src/main/$if(java.truthy)$java/$package$/Class.scala$endif$

//or

src/main/$if(scala.truthy)$scala/$package$/Class.scala$endif$

otherwise just the single path token will be elided (i.e. src/main/<I am empty so I will be elided>/{package}/Class.scala).

The only "side effect" in this solution is that in the java = false && scala = false case you won't get any .class produce (but after all that's what you required saying no java, no scala).

Does it answer to your question @sebastianh001?

@TonioGela: Tryed the proposed Solution using Sbt 1.5.5 but get the following error using the windows environment.

The Soulution which i described worked well on unix but not on windows

Consider that you're literally trying to create a folder named "{package}" with curly braces and all.
Probably you meant to write "$package$", no @sebastianh001?

[sebastianh001]

no the folder name is defined by the giter8 template variable package.

it should generate a folder structure like this:
com/myorg/myproject/...
