PlantUML does not render image

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

Script name

Support for PlantUML in notes

Script authors

nikhilw, beurt

Expected behaviour

Write PlantUML and expect an image in the preview panel

Actual behaviour

Write PlantUML and image is not rendered in the preview panel. Instead a placeholder for image is displayed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install PlantUML plugin from script repository
2. verify Java is available in PATH
3. place plantuml.jar in a folder and specify it in the plugin settings

@nikhilw, @beurt?

[pbek]

Is there any useful log output if you enable the log panel (see Window / Panels)? Please make sure you also enable debug logging in the log panel (by right-clicking on the panel and and selecting Debug in Options).

Within the exported HTML, I see the path of the image like this:

<img src="file://C:\Users\animesh\programs\tmp/488_2.png?t=1611457999586" alt="Wait for it..">

This image does not exist in this path.

I opened the tmp folder side by side to see if anything is being generated when I enter new PlantUML script and nothing seems to get generated

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

Did some poking around with console logs 😅 in the qml file. I don't know if this effort is any worth, but I had some fun. This is from the log panel:

[09:59:23] [debug] filePath: C:\Users\animesh\programs\tmp/488_1

The node command when executed with the params on the command line throws an error:

This command works however:

node -e require('fs').writeFileSync('C:\\Users\\animesh\\programs\\tmp\\4887',"11111111111",'utf8');

I suspect it has to do with how node handles path on Windows.

[Beurt]

Hi,

I think there is problems with slashes with Windows. In the code it is probably here:

https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/blob/6e7b89a575cae7ed1da1af0d9d418471dd383046/render-plantuml/render-plantuml.qml#L98

and here:

https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/blob/6e7b89a575cae7ed1da1af0d9d418471dd383046/render-plantuml/render-plantuml.qml#L117

I don't have Windows so I cannot test. But if you can try to modify the code, you should maybe try to use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdir.html#toNativeSeparators. Since I did not write this code I am not sure about that!

[pbek]

There are scripting methods for separator conversion: https://www.qownnotes.org/scripting/methods-and-objects.html#converting-path-separators-to-native-ones

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

Hello @pbek and @Beurt, good day!

Apologies for the delay in responding to this issue. Today I got a chance to dig deeper than my previous attempt and after some testing got some progress. I realized that the workDir is the first culprit.

https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/blob/6e7b89a575cae7ed1da1af0d9d418471dd383046/render-plantuml/render-plantuml.qml#L76

After replacing single slashes with double slashes using regex replace, I see that the plantuml images got generated in the workDir location.

var filePath = workDir.replace(/\\/gm,"\\\\") + "/" + note.id + "_" + (++index);

However, the markdown preview does not still display the images. The updatedHtml is as follows:

<div><img src="file://C:\\Users\\animesh\\programs\\tmp/519_1.png?t=1618234319478" alt="Wait for it.."/></div>
<div><img src="file://C:\\Users\\animesh\\programs\\tmp/519_2.png?t=1618234319478" alt="Wait for it.."/></div>

and I can export the html and preview it in external browser just fine.

Kindly advise next steps.

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

I noticed that when I right click and copy the image path directly from the preview panel, the path shows up as //c/519_2.png

[pbek]

You can always export the raw html in the preview panel to debug the script code more easily.

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

Yes, I did that. As in the code snippet above, the raw html exported has the paths properly injected and I can open html file with plantuml images in Firefox.

[pbek]

• I'm not sure how file urls with url parameters like file://C:\\Users\\animesh\\programs\\tmp/519_2.png?t=1618234319478 are handled.
• Im not sure about backslashes neither...

best use an url schema like stated in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

e.g. file:///c:/WINDOWS/clock.avi (yes, 3 slashes at the beginning!)

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

Great, that fixed it.

If I can verify that it works on Linux and follow the contribution guidelines, can I raise a PR?

[pbek]

Of course! There are also script methods to check the OS if you need to do things differently on different OSes.

[Beurt]

Hi @anmsh!

I've been working on some important changes on render-plantuml script. And, I just introduced on new PR (https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/pull/158) that should solve your problem. It is working well on Linux. Can you Try on Windows?

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

I will check this @Beurt. Thank you.

[animeshkrishnabulusu]

I have recently used plantuml heavily on both Linux and Windows especially with 1.2023.3 and 1.2023.5. I will document the behaviour in a few days.
