Syntax Error inside map, but works on the online webservice

Time:12-22

I'm trying to use plantuml inside java to generate a svg file. The code I'm using is basically the one from the example,

        byte[] bytes = source.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        String utf8EncodedString = new String(bytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        System.out.println(utf8EncodedString);
        SourceStringReader reader = new SourceStringReader(utf8EncodedString);
        final ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        // Write the first image to "os"
        reader.generateImage(os, new FileFormatOption(FileFormat.SVG));
        os.close();
        // The XML is stored into svg
        final String svg = new String(os.toByteArray(), Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
        return svg;

Basically the utf-8 stuff is because I was thinking the issue was with encoding, but it turns out it's not. The string used as source is as follows:

@startuml
left to right direction
' Horizontal lines: -->, <--, <-->
' Vertical lines: ->, <-, <->
map Transport.Personnel{
ID => 38
}
map Airplane1{
ID => 39
}
map Airplane2{
ID => 40
}
map Lathe1{
ID => 41
}
map Lathe2{
ID => 42
}
map Production.from.Mold1{
ID => 43
}
map Production.from.Mold2{
ID => 44
}
map Assembly.Line1{
ID => 45
}
map Assembly.Line2{
ID => 46
}
map Assembly.Line3{
ID => 47
}
@enduml

This string generates a diagram on the online plantuml web service but when running on java, the svg generated indicates a syntax error in the string when opening it up:

... (skipping 1 line) ...
left to right direction
' Horizontal lines:
-->, <--
, <-->
' Vertical lines: ->, <-, <->
map Transport.Personnel{
Syntax Error?

Do I need to do anything else? I really have no idea what could be going wrong and I don't know what to search here/their forums to try and debug.

CodePudding user response:

I can this code which resulted in no errors for me

public class PlantUMLDemo {
    
    public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException {
        String source = "@startuml\r\n"
              "left to right direction\r\n"

              "' Vertical lines: ->, <-, <->\r\n"
              "map Transport.Personnel{\r\n"
              "ID => 38\r\n"
              "}\r\n"
              "map Airplane1{\r\n"
              "ID => 39\r\n"

              "}\r\n"
              "@enduml";
        byte[] bytes = source.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        String utf8EncodedString = new String(bytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        System.out.println(utf8EncodedString);
        SourceStringReader reader = new SourceStringReader(utf8EncodedString);
        final ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        // Write the first image to "os"
        reader.generateImage(os, new FileFormatOption(FileFormat.SVG));
        os.close();
        // The XML is stored into svg
        final String svg = new String(os.toByteArray(), Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
        System.out.println(svg);
//      return svg;
    }
}

In case it is relevant, I used the latest PlantUML jar (version 1.2021.9). My assumption is that you probably made a syntax error in your code. Copy paste my source string and try again.

The output of the program is as follows:

When I generate this on the PLantUML website and I "view source", the results looks exactly like this output. I have to conclude that the code works with the provided source string value.
