Folder tree does not show folder with duplicate name

Question

This construct only shows folder c within folder a, whereas I would also expect to see it in folder b:

 

folder "a" {

 folder "c" {

}

}

 

folder "b" {

 folder "c" {

}

}

 

Also this construct does not get rendered:

folder "a" {

  folder "a" {

  }

}

 

Answer 1

That's because you can't use the same name for multiple nodes.

You should use an alias on those cases.

Comments

Guys things are not working properly - please have a look onto Service folder.
It should have folders with label private and public but has labels as prv2 and pub2.
The first case works but latter does not.

@startuml

folder "/svn/Software" as SvnRoot {
    folder Source as src1 {
        folder Driver {
            rectangle "Driver code"
            folder include as inc1 {
                rectangle "C++ headers"
                folder public as pub1 {
                    rectangle "Public interfaces"
                }
                folder private as prv1 {
                    rectangle "Private to implementation"
                }
            }
            folder src {
                rectangle "C++ sources"
            }
        }
        folder Service {
            rectangle "Service code"
            folder include as inc2 {
                rectangle "C++ headers"
                folder public as pub2 {
                    rectangle "Public interfaces"
                }
                folder private as prv2 {
                    rectangle "Private to implementation"
                }
            }
            folder src {
                rectangle "C++ sources"
            }
        }
    }
}
