In most case we just want to display the diagram instead of the palntuml code.
hopes to support place plantuml code in

I've managed to setup the action for the master branch, but I'd like to also generate images on other branches, so that my reviewers can read our documentation with consistent diagrams during their reviews.

My workflow is the following:

name: Generate diagrams
on: push
jobs:
  generate_plantuml:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: plantuml
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: plantuml
      uses: grassedge/generate-plantuml-action@master
      with:
        path: diagrams
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Unfortunately, it does not work on branches other than master, for example on feat/mvpVersion:

Set up job
Run actions/checkout@v2

plantuml
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ***
Run grassedge/generate-plantuml-action@master
There are no files to be generated.

Did I miss something, or the generation only works on master?

When I add a PlantUML diagram to a markdown file the action throws the following error:

Error: HttpError: tree.path contains a malformed path component

Seems to be a GitHub API error. It works perfectly fine for .puml files. Here is my workflow:

name: Generate PlantUML
on: push
jobs:
  generate_plantuml:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: plantuml
    steps:
    - name: checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v1
      with:
        fetch-depth: 1
    - name: plantuml
      id: plantuml
      uses: grassedge/[email protected]
      with:
        message: "Render PlantUML files"
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Also tried with path: . set; same error.

The .md file in question:

# Test PlantUML Diagram

Sequence diagram:

` ` `plantuml:test-md-diagram
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
` ` `

![](./test-md-diagram.svg)

(rendered diagram should appear above)

the present release v1.5.0 returned node12
the master branch has node16
do you want some assistance with housekeeping PR's?

Are there any technical reasons why generate-plantuml-action needs access to a GitHub token?

I have seen GitHub actions that commit to the repo without having access to the GitHub token.

GitHub Actions: All Actions will begin running on Node16 instead of Node12

We've been scratching our heads on this one!

With a file ending .puml it reports no files found. Rename it to .pml and it bursts to life!

Perhaps something happening at the checkout level?

##[error]Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'path/to/deleted.md'

This action recognizes deleted files as diff and tries to generate svg.
Fix to ignore them.

I've got some issues when running this action on my repo :(

##[error]TypeError: Cannot read property 'references' of undefined
##[error]Node run failed with exit code 1

Here is my yml file :

name: generate plantuml
on: [push]

jobs:
  generate_plantuml:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: plantuml
    steps:
    - name: checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v1
      with:
        fetch-depth: 1
    - name: plantuml
      id: plantuml
      uses: grassedge/[email protected]
      env:
         GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I have two files. (Pseudo-representation below, scrubbed for privacy)

One is a large file in a parent directory called definitions.puml
The other file is in a subfolder called architecture.pu

They are arranged like so.

src/definitions.puml

'' DATABASE DEF
!define db_name Name of database
!define db_tech technology: technology desc
!define db_desc Holds data for system.

' ... etc

src/level1/architecture.pu

@startuml
!include ../definitions.puml 

' rest of content below 

@enduml

The outcome is a generated SVG that is "undefined" and has no content.

Github preview reads: Sorry, this file is invalid so it cannot be displayed.

Edit:

I have even tried this format !include %dirpath/../definitions.puml No luck.

If files that have following suffixes, generate too.

.wsd
.pu
.puml
.plantuml
.iuml

Hey @grassedge .
What do you think about dropping the adding and committing from this action?
There's plenty of actions in the marketplace to do just that and it would enable people to

• better tailor the commit behaviour to their needs (e.g. create separate PRs, rebase, configure committer etc.)
• include other changes made by the job in the same commit
• maybe even not commit but upload the images somewhere else

Howdy. Just noticed that #46 is still affecting this code - users get a warning that 'node16' will be used. It's been a while since the last commit on the default branch. Any news? Thanks.
