Path contains invalid characters

[s1mrankaur]

When I run
npm run generate,

I get:

C:\Users\AU\Downloads\backend\backend-catalog\node_modules\fs-extra\lib\mkdirs\utils.js:18
      const error = new Error(`Path contains invalid characters: ${pth}`)
                    ^

I tried to add a console log to fs-extra library and I see:

Generating EventCatalog docs using: @eventcatalog/plugin-doc-generator-asyncapi path is C:\Users\AU\Downloads\backend\backend-catalog\domains\Sites pathHasInvalidWinCharacters false path is C:\Users\AU\Downloads\backend\backend-catalog\domains\Sites\services\Site Service Events pathHasInvalidWinCharacters false path is C:\Users\AU\Downloads\backend\backend-catalog\domains\Sites\events\<anonymous-schema-1> pathHasInvalidWinCharacters true path is C:\Users\AU\Downloads\backend\backend-catalog\domains\Sites\events\<anonymous-schema-8> pathHasInvalidWinCharacters true

So, basically it's < and > characters that are problemtic but those paths seem to be generated by the plugin itself.

hey there
sorry but we need more details, there is no such npm script in generator repo as npm run generate

please share exactly what are you doing, the command to run generation and best - share your asyncapi document

otherwise we cannot do much
