The script below generates this faulty uml which I have pasted here at https://pastebin.com/nqjvkbqQ

Which version of plantuml do you use?

With the version 1.2020.01beta6 I have no problem displaying the generated svg with FireFox (72.0.2)
commented Feb 3, 2020 by vonhabsi (140 points)
This is the version string from the svg file

PlantUML version 1.2020.00(Sat Jan 11 12:30:53 GMT 2020)

I downloaded it from sourceforge no earlier than 29th January

There is a link to the generated file in the pastebin.

My version of Firefox is 73.0beta11, but it fails to download in Chrome as well.

Can you share the file you generated with your version for me to see if it will load in mine?

After analyzing the generated code it I see the version I downloaded adds an additional graphic and message which is causing the error.

PlantUML version 1.2020.00(Sat Jan 11 12:30:53 GMT 2020)

Your version appears to be a different one. Where do you download it?

I have created a new question for it at https://forum.plantuml.net/10795/there-command-option-suppress-the-generation-secondary-file as it seems to be something in the plantuml build or a missing command option.

Thanks

org-mode in emacs?

It seems you should NOT include the @startuml/@enduml tags in the code block if you want export SVG file.

Switch to *Message* buffer and find the java command to generate the SVG file, then find the temp puml file path, check the content, you will see multiple @startuml/@enduml pairs.

Check this link below:
