Docker for Windows - Container permissions issue

[jawa-the-hutt]

Description

I'm doing my development in VS Code on Windows and have ran into what I think is a permissions issue in the container that is specific to an ongoing issue with Docker for Windows: docker/for-win#497 combined with a pull request here: #5702 that changed the user running the container.

In Docker for Windows, if a drive is mounted and the container is not run as root, then the user running the container has permission issues with the mount. In this case, when I run ./run-in-docker.sh mvn package, it causes a folder to show up in VS Code that is a named 

Because this folder shows up, Git tries to add it in unless I specifically add  to .gitignore.

Swagger-codegen version

2.4.0

Command line used for generation

./run-in-docker.sh mvn package

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Docker for Windows
2. Use VS Code
3. run ./run-in-docker.sh mvn package
4. Special character named folder may show up.

Suggest a fix/enhancement

Not sure on a fix/enhancement exactly. I can workaround the issue by doing something like this in the windows command line.

docker.exe run --rm -it -w /gen -e GEN_DIR=/gen -e MAVEN_CONFIG=/var/maven/.m2 -v "${PWD}:/gen" -v "${HOME}/.m2/repository:/var/maven/.m2/repository" --entrypoint "/gen/docker-entrypoint.sh" maven:3-jdk-7 mvn package

as you can see, i'm basically mimicking run-in-docker.sh but i'm eliminating -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" and the container will essentially run as root.

I would mention that the workaround is not ideal. There are two options:

1. Redownload all maven packages whenever you have to recompile. Since the  folder never mounts, you won't have to worry about adding into a commit, or having to edit .gitignore.
2. Do your development as normal and then just before you make a commit, you delete the folder named . However, the next time you have to compile, you will have to redownload all maven packages again.

So, while there is a workaround, it's a pain to have to deal with.
