Not working for me

[mcondarelli]

Hi,
Thanks for the good work!
I tried using it and I did the standard

git clone https://github.com/borco/plantumlqeditor.git
qmake && make

It compiled without any Error/Warning but, when launched I got the following error message:

mcon@black:~/projects/plantumlqeditor$ ./plantumlqeditor
new file cache item ->   key: 16a971bc7f4bf0d7d20dc0b1e1d3a3db.svg   cost: 0       path: /home/mcon/.cache/PlantUML Editor/PlantUML Editor/16a971bc7f4bf0d7d20dc0b1e1d3a3db.svg

QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/PreviewWidget) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible

The last line is repeated (multiple times) on window resize.

Problems are:

• No Diagram is visible, neither with initial "class Foo" neither with classic "Bob->Alice : hello" on line 3 (I preserved the "@startuml / @enduml" bracketing).
• [Refresh] button appears grayed, but if I press it I get again:

QFileInfo::absolutePath: Constructed with empty filename

QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/PreviewWidget) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible

• The cache files exist in the correct place, but they are empty

I am evidently missing something, but I can't divine what.
Any help welcome.

Hi, you need to provide plantUML !!! JAR !!! path, not binary path (/usr/bin/plantuml) which is actually a bash script. I had the same issue as well, added pull request for better logging of this issue. (java -jar will return error saying /usr/bin/plantuml is not a JAR file, but this message is silently discarded in this version of plantumlqeditor).
